Water surface texture test for aerial shots over ocean>

Hey Thanks SD. :beer:

#363

awesome water, and sweet animation:bounce:

Hello one and all. I pulled a REAL later nighter trying to make up lost time due to a power outage yesterday which at first I that cost me dearly. All I can say is save, and save alot. I’m glad I did!! Second get a UPS, I know I will this week.
The good news is that by the end I was so hyped up I cranked a hour or two on the tower complex and finished modeling it. Well actually lets say I decided I had better quit adding to it. I’m going to do a couple of renders and post them in just a few.

jayreef - the boat is fantatsic. Perfect. Can’t wait to get it to throw in!

sllink - going to dl the clips her shortly. Can’t wait to see themSD said thy are seriously hot. So glad to see you and welcome aboard!

SD - great texture I’ll add in in to the renders to give alittle life to the scene.

#365

OK heres a couple of really, really crappy setups and renders. Sorry I’m in an intense hurry this morning so I just put a few of the parts together slapped in a couple of horribles lights, added a few cameras and well I guess its better then nothing. Jayreef. After this I thing I belong in the garbage barge category :hmm:
Please remember, no textures except for SD’s ocean. The dropships, train and tracks are just intensly lowpoly proxy models, blah, blah, blah.

Oh and sllink - those ESWAT avi’s. Damn I’m humbled:bowdown:

FYI the strange lighting in some of these images is do to the fact my main light is a almost non-tweaked spotlight using shadow maps. Sorry no time to fix the lighting and yes I’m totally embarassed by how it. Something better when I get a chance I promise.

#368

Thanks aurora!

Thats a nice looking model.:thumbsup:

#369

Hey nice job :applause:
Like the satelite view picture

#370

Aurora- Still Speechless!
Amazing stuff Aurora!:thumbsup:
sorry the ocean texture is so tweak sensitive. I’ll fix it up and do a nice textured render when you have the tower done and upped.

I wasn’t gonna post yet, but Just to keep you all pumped here’s a shot of the cockpit leather seats undergoing texturing. Took me a while to import the model. Was in Silo’s native .sla file format. Instead of bugging the guys, I just downloaded Silo…it has a full 15 day trial, and actually looks like a pretty cool modelling tool. Check it out. Anyway, got the .sla converted to obj and here is the first surfaceing shot.>

#371

Love the tower!:thumbsup:

Love the chair texture:thumbsup:

#372

Hmm, SD I’m not sure the speachless part is a good thing or a bad thing especially now that I have a half a second breather to look at them again. Argh - oh well just test setups anyways. But the leather texture now that I love. That is one sweet testure! I’ll have to take alook at Silo when I get a chance. I’m am thinking about getting HD-Instance and G2 real soon here though.

Akirafr - glad you like it and I think you pretty much nailed the ‘satellite’ view. This building is so freaking tall and its skinny shape makes it fell even larger. The funny part is that its pretty much dimensionally the same as the real purposed Millenium Tower where we got the ref’s for this complex!
Gotta skeedadle again.

#373

I meant Speechless in a “blow me away” sense. :eek:
It’s an amazing tower!

Ok- so here’s the cockpit chair textured…maybe I did too much dirt…Oh well…:slight_smile:

#374

damned amazing stuff going on today guys:bounce:

should be back later with the barge “Aurora” update:wavey:

#375

Is there other stuff to model?

#376

jayreef- Yeah, it all kind of came about unexpectedly over the last couple days. That’s the beauty of a team endeavour like this…we all inspire and energize each other to a level that is very rare to have on our own! Just hope you guys don’t turn on me if things get tough later on. :wink:

Akirafr- Would love to see your bike…If you’re intereste I do have another bike from the Shirow Universe- it may not get used right away, but you can still do it if you like.
Let me know.

Other than that maybe Aurora can give some input on wheter he could use some guys to build an interioir level for the Ocean tower.

Also If we get to the interior shots, we will need some people to populate it. These shots are not firm yet, but if we have the stage built we will use it. :wink:

#378

upped it, do we need more boats?:bounce:

#379

:slight_smile: sure Jayreef…just model whatever sllek cruisers you can find refs for…You’re modelling so fast we can’t keep up. I love it!!!:thumbsup:

#380

want any of these (not finished yet though)
