Title: A couple of little renders for you lot.
Post by: Setekh on April 18, 2001, 12:44:00 am
I haven't done terrain renders for so long.

 (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/leap.jpg)

Haven't done a dark, atmospheric one for a while either.

An Orion would probably have a hard time not crashing at that altitude  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Nice renders though.

Hahaha!!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) Most probably at that time, it was already about to crash! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Nice work, Setekh!!

Do you know how big such a destroyer is?
An Orion flying above a planet only as high as it's long would put it to an altitude of 2.6 kilometers!

I like those renders, two more masterpieces made by the great Steak!

Looks great, but that Orion looks rather small next to the mountain.

Maybe it's a big mountain? The Orion isn't that big...

Sorry it took me so long, I've been busy.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Pic #1: I really can't find any technical problems, except perhaps the fact that the lighting on the Elysium looks a bit off- can't put my finger on it, maybe it's just my critical instinct looking for a flaw. The terrain is quite well done for terragen, although it could stand to look a bit more icy. The overall effect, however, is excellent, and however you're doing those thrusters, keep doing it.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Pic #2: This is my favorite of the two. The lighting is superb, marred only by the fact that the terrain behind the Orion doesn't look as good as the terrain in front of it- I know it's supposed to be the engine glow, but the blue spreads way too far. The low-flying Orion bothers me a bit, but otherwise, this one is great. That background looks a bit familiar, though...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Pic #3: Aaah! My eyes!
Seriously though, this would look really cool with a shadowed Apollo or Perseus wing flying low over the water, into the sun...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Keep up the good work!

I wanted to put a ship in there, but I rendered that first, and it looked pretty damn cool - so I left it at that  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) But... I forgot my watermark, oops  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Check out stuff on the web (there's heaps) that looks cool. Rendered scenes. Character animation. Effects libraries. Professional studios like Industrial Light & Magic are a good idea to check out. And draw inspiration  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
