Title: Where have all the renders gone??
Post by: Corsair on May 02, 2003, 06:38:25 pm: Ya'll are doing so much drawing now and so much less rendering! What's up with that?? RENDER! RENDER! RENDER!

I'll be doing more soon....but I want to see this whole page filled with renders and no drawings! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Well, I'm taking exams. And working on very big things. Like a two-minute-long movie, on a program and res-level where two seconds of animation can translate to an hour of rendering

It's a test for explosions layers and it was an answer to tha pic where Deimos gets busted, so i named this one: Payback

Post by: Galemp on May 02, 2003, 07:26:52 pm: The beam looks great, except for the muzzle glow. The explosion is fantastic; it would be even better if that was the exit wound. But please, anti-alias the edges of the Moloch!
Title: Where have all the renders gone??
Post by: Nico on May 02, 2003, 07:46:43 pm: well what's the point. I don't post renders for the pleasure of posting, I post for feedback. I have no feedback. no feedback-> no render.

Not everything. The explosion was made in Lightwave though and guess what, with no particles or hypervoxels. I used a much easier method. Beam and other effects are made in Photoshop and remaping and bumpmaping was also done in LW.

What? The explosion? I used volumetric techniques. Besides, I am not sure how many particles you would need to make the finest details. Not to mention how much time you would need to render it all. Anyway, this seemed simple to me. I don't even know how to work with particles. I also have a render of an ocean which isn't done with particles either.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions on the deimos guys. I fixed the render a bit and here's the result:

How are you getting the glows on the moloch's "spikes" and the diemos's windows? Just draw them on manually?

No I don't draw them. Actually I point at them and then the glow creates it self using the color of the surface that I pin-pointed. Of course, it wouldn't look that good on ordinary models. The maps need to be altered in Lightwave first so that they can be manipulated later on.
One more thing. The explosion on the second render is different from the one on the first. The first one looked too blurry and foggy so I altered it a bit.
Title: Where have all the renders gone??
Post by: Galemp on May 03, 2003, 12:24:57 pm: I liked the fog! It was Freelancer-esque, simulating the leakage of gases, fuel and atmosphere from the damaged section.

The Deimos and the beam source look miles better than they did. Good job. :nod:

Though I'd still like to see the beam go through the Moloch rather then just graze it.

Hm I have just throught out a concept on how to bring that to life. Now that I know how to work with layers, I may just try to do that. Thanks for the idea. But on the other hand, the second explosion kinda looks more clean to me.

Though the muzzle glow on the Deimos seems to have shrunk... RTFT while you're at it. I really liked the way you did this Moloch and the previous Deimos.

[glow=blue]EXCELLENT!![/glow]

That's the best comment I got yet. By the way, the glow didn't shrink actually. The beam just got bigger. It is a different beam from the one on the 2nd picture. As for the turrets, I still ahve to figure out how to rotate them. ;)
Title: Where have all the renders gone??
Post by: Nico on May 03, 2003, 04:54:22 pm: very nice, but I don't like the muzzle flash on the last pic.
and yeah, rtft.
Title: Where have all the renders gone??
Post by: beatspete on May 03, 2003, 05:13:11 pm: this is a test of a few things: textured beam, new engine glow, beam source glows, interlaced effect, and black and white - which i hadnt tried before:

Post by: beatspete on May 03, 2003, 06:19:52 pm: it looks more natural if they are aimed at the enemy ship. Gives the impression they are turrets, not a chimney.

The Zeus' engines probably would look better with a blue fringe and the edge of that nearby star looks little too well-defined for a gaseous ball; but I love the beam, especially its firing-point, and the explosion comes out great :)

If you look more carefully explosions are NOT cut and pasted. I used Thunder's screen blending techique. Look more carefully at them. You will see more particles, so they're not pasted. Second, the lucifer is far from the hatshepsut. You see that I fixed the beams so that they go further away, not closer.

Holy Megafunk, Batman! :eek2: :yes:

Any plans on kitbashing that into the full planet-killer (ala Vendetta by Peter David)? The whole thing takes a 90 degree downward turn immediately after the mouth, as well as spiraling around itself once it goes vertical. Cover it with porcupine-like spikes and you'd have yourself a winner. :D

In a way, yes. It blasted them to rubble and then gobbled up the chunks. So it wasn't anywhere near the size of a planet, if that's what you're thinking. :p

More stream lined now. :)

Yikes. I've never seen anyone pull off organic-ish modelling convincingly before (with the exception of the Kier Darby's WhiteStar). Totally sweet. :yes:

Thanks. :)

I'm still just a beginner, though.

Too much reliance on ambient lighting IMO - needs something more dynamic.

That's what makes it all the more better. Can't wait to see your skills continue to improve. :):yes:

Sandwich's right on this last one, btw: it'd probably look better with some more defined shadows and highlights. :cool:

Exactly - I think maybe it's rubbing off or something. :p

We sat through two years of graphics class together. The problem was, our teacher was absolutely pants, so I ended up doodling in Paint while Setekh browsed... well, this place. (Some things make a lot more sense now, like when he started going on about some guy in Israel who sent him some cool music... I guess that would be you, Sandwich.) All the stuff I learnt about graphics, ironically, I ended up learning from him. :D

He said a lot more things about HLP, but I forgot most of them. I think I remembered him talking about you because I asked him later how he knew someone in Israel. He explained, but then he started talking about the entire FreeSpace storyline, and my mind must have wandered... it all makes sense now, I feel a bit like Neo after taking the red pill, then ending up here.

Eddie turned me off PhotoShop... though we had it on the school computers, he told me not to use it if I could help it, because he said it 'ran like a sloth', ate up too many system resources, and cost too much. I didn't argue with him, me being the graphically inept person I am... he said something about using his own program, I forgot the name, and he showed me it once at his house... we tried to get it running on my computer for months but it simply refused to work. So I never got into making pictures like he did. But I can sure critique stuff... :D

1. The blut setting is at 10%
2. The asteroids don't look pasted, they are volumetrics.

Post by: Razor on May 23, 2003, 01:03:40 am: You don't really need any blur at all. Drop it to 0.

Don't tell me how to render.

If it's moving it needs blur otherwise it looks dumb.

That beam looks wrong - it ends at the edge of the screen, instead of going on past the edge.
