Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Daniel Zsoldos

#21

I dropped red directional light beneath the surface to represent the light of flowing lava in the rifts.

#22

A plan for the final image.

#23

Some guns from earlier concept to newest.

#24

After a little “study” of heavy clouds I decided I use fluids not particles.

#25

Multi layered vast clouds painted in 3D fluid boxes could give a quite good result (of course in front view).
I think I should use a hell lots o` particles to gain the similar result without using fluids.

Merry Xmas for all!

#27

Storm clouds

#28

Storm clouds gathering

#29

I used the old trick, a distorted reflecting surface to gain a more planet shape like landscape.
It is a concave half sphere which reflects the whole scene. The result similar like pictures shot with fisheye optic lenses. Sadly render time multiplies.

#30

The under surface red spotlight painted the clouds fully in the reflected image somehow.

#31

Here is the new lighting (spotlight + lightfog) tested with strange ice cubes in the sky.

#32

There is a little trouble with depth map shadows which I don`t know yet how can I resolve.

#33

New lighting with clouds

#34

Lowpoly angel greets the bright star.

#35

Shadow trouble has been resolved:)
There is a grotty bump mapping on the icefield.

#36

Happy new year! :thumbsup:

#37

Here comes the texture for the landscape.

#38

Lots o` work.

#39

Fortified trade ship. With snow of course, and without some texture.
