Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Tyler Hamilton

modeling a command trooper also going to be the dead one infront of the angel…

#136

Looking good so far. Nice progress. Really smooth clothing. Keep at it.

#137

working on the background image… added cap ships changed up the lightin to match the forground

Glad to see you are still in it, some people are missing in action! Interestng old metal
texture on your last clothing wip. My opinion on those clouds is that they are too dense,
they come off as almost solid. And they are too harshly lit, it they are clouds of smoke.
Feels to me like the clouds need some softening. I never tried hypervoxels, but I had lots
of those problems just with my volumetric light. I am using Lightwave 5.6 so… I found out there are lots of parameters to tweek, and as you say your machine is taking it’s time to
render, so I can only imagine how tough this is. I kept my models polys down so I could
render each test scene at 800 by 600 pixels quickly. I only do the stars and background fog
in comp so far. So in my 3ghz machine with fastest ram Dell had I get a render in just a few
minutes…I do several a day. So I hope you are doing test renders of just those smoke
clouds. They would look much cooler if you could see thru some of them, and do fade off
their edges, there must be a setting for that. I imagine in space they would disperse even more. A very cool, complex entry by the way.

Happy New Year! Keep at it… The end is almost here.

#140

Cool work so far but agree the clouds and steam could do with being a little whispier in places just to get a contrast. I like it though! Good luck. :thumbsup: Claireabella

#141

#142

#144

final render back

#145

alot of post work shadows and such … all done in photo shop…

#146

Hi Vrhead and happy running year :slight_smile:
Can U render shadows&effects as a separate layer? Postcompositing might be in photoshop more easier?
Keep it up!

and that cleric character is damn wicked mate, in a “cleanse your heart, or I will tear it out of your chest”- kinda way :twisted:

impressive entry , good luck and well done buddy!:beer:

#150

Nice finish. Very mysterious darkness…Like the amber glow to the left and how it casts
an amber glow on the pipes. I’m still holding out another day or two. The explosive clouds
look good now.
