Been working on some renders, mostly practicing my cbanim-creating skills. To link the cbanims together, I've centred my works so far around the Dubhe system, its nebula, and one (so far) of its planets, Dubhe IV.
You are a part of the Dubhe system task force (I could make a campaign out of all this), typically flying patrols around the system, and occasionally administering close-combat support to armour columns and marines that drop onto the surface. GTVA is investigating reports of NTF forces leaving this section and suspects there is a hidden base on the planet.
Most information is delivered from the GTA Penfold, the combat group's AWACS support. Here are the stills:

You lot should have seen this one before. It's on Venom/Darkage's render wars thread. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/nebular-scan.jpg)
Made a nice looking nebula by accident, and decided to make a scan of it. Ta-da. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

This one kind of grew out of control. A bit of work with terrain and varying times of day, lighting, fog, and a wireframe schematic of the landing zone. Like I said, it grew out of control and it ended up very complex and cluttered up. But I think it turned out okay, actually. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

This stuff is so good I kinda feel privleged to be the first to respond.
What else can I say? Pat yourself on the back and resize those things to 1024*768 stat (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
I wonder how long the bottom one took to render.....
-
I dunno, resizing kinda screws up the proportions... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Just leave it at centre. It looks nice there. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

They are very good. I want to see the cbanim

Well, those are the cbanims. Except, they'll be... smaller. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

If only there was a jaw-dropping sound effect.
Very Excellent work. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I might just make a series of stills and carry along the storyline.
What little there is of it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) This is just the setting so far.

Nice pictures there, Setekh!! How about making a few about the different planets in the GTVA space? A nice picture of the planet with a brief description an history?

Neohunter, you play diablo2?

Yeah, I play Diablo 2. I even completed the whole game and its expansion. Baal was no match for my Level 36 Barbarian and his meager Level 3 Leap Attack. Not to mention my super duper rare giant axe. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

One criticism though - why is your AWACs name after Dangermouse's sidekick?

I actually thought I'd made up that name and was quite happy with it, but I knew it was too good to be true. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Oops. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Originally posted by Akira:

That campaign doesn't exist yet, but I do have a bit of a story I'd like to tell about the Dubhe system. Just stay tuned. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Okay, the Dubhe Ops team has run into a bit of trouble. Alpha Dubhe, the system's brightest star, is moving into perihelion with Dubhe IV (the star and the planet are reaching the point in their orbit where they are closest to each other). Here is the report.
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/alpha-dubhe.jpg)
Things are getting a bit hot...
-
Ouch!
-
Not a very hospitable planet.

Also, where are those renders of the Cernunnos you said you'd make?
-
Really, have you nothing better to do than to crank out excellent renders?!? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Not to be the art critic but the top pic in the "corona level reflection map" looks a little too "crystalish",
if you'll excuse my complete invention of the word (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

You had one ("http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/Forum17/HTML/000004.html") and kind of went on without me, so I thought you didn't need it anymore. However, to satisfy you... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hey artistic licence. Besides, I think it looks kinda cool. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Thanks. Except I don't call copying and pasting from Modelview with no post production a render (I'm talking about mine).

Sorry (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Hope the shiny new render makes up for it. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hmm.... the rad dosage should be in Rads/sec or Grays/sec. The radiation of Cesium-137 (like all radioactive substances) is dependent upon the age of the sample and the mass.
