Post by: mikhael on December 30, 2001, 03:09:00 pm: Impressive, especially that frigate. The detail is awesome. That's the kinda skill I wish I had. *heh*

I'm wondering if there isn't a rendering error in the shadowing across the frigate, though.

Oh, btw: its already my desktop. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Yes I noticed that... I might redo the render sometime and see if I can fix that... have no idea why that appeared.

I presume you think I'm using 3DSMax? Ehh.. I'm using Lightwave... and I haven't figured out how to get rid of any plastic type look...

Post by: wEvil on December 30, 2001, 04:17:00 pm: should be able to tweak the specular highlights to be stronger..

or just use the "strauss" shading model if LW supports it...im sure it does.

Up the highlight and shininess. Don't overdo the highlight, makes it look like aluminum foil in a supernova.

Also, any ideas on where to get an old version of Lightwave? I don't need most of the goodies that come with 7, and I REALLY can't afford $2500.

If you played StarWars games at all you would know its a Nebulan-B Class Frigate.. this type is the Medical outfit.

And that shadow problem is with the model... I can't get rid of it unless I turn off ray-traced shadows, and then it looks bad. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Post by: NeoHunter on December 31, 2001, 09:33:00 pm: That is very nice. Been sometime since I last saw that Nebulon B frigate. Actually, dice The Empire Strikes Back. If I remember correctly,, Luke Skywalker was standing in that big window on the frigate. That is the room where he got his mechanical hand.

Love the X-Wings too.

Anymore to come? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

what do you knock off for Homeworld? (not that I care, just curious)

Post by: Stryke 9 on January 07, 2002, 05:59:00 pm: That's not too overdone. Might come into consideration if it's a close one between two figures, but no number value. However, insolence costs you a billion points. Now where's your render?

Post by: DragonClaw on January 07, 2002, 08:33:00 pm: How did this thread possibly end up at the bottom of the page so quickly...

And whats with everyone having like 2 contest entries... everyone keeps changing em lol
