Title: New Render
Post by: DragonClaw on August 07, 2002, 07:20:47 pm

Haven't released a render for awhile...

(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/tap/dragonclaw/battletb.jpg) (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/tap/dragonclaw/battle.jpg)

Lightwave decided to crash on me while rendering a 'better' version of this(better lightning, an aeolus shooting a beam at the basalisk... the works), so I decided to give up on this render, didn't want to re-do everything... So this is my last save, here ya go. Enjoy :)

Bump mapping and specularity a bit high, mm?

not to me, in fact, I think it looks a lot more realistic and better looking than the generic texture crap... makes it look higher-poly


and the reason the hecate is all red like that isn't b/c of spec(in fact, spec isn't even on for the hecate), its b/c I made the light like that... (actually, I fixed that part before it crashed)  

But thats how it looks in FS2 no?

I think the shivan ships should have bump mapping allright, maybe a bit irregular type.

What's that ship on the right?

It's a Rakshasa.

I think the Bmapping is abit to high.

But otherwise it looks nice.

It's very good, add an explosion to make it look even better. :p

The engine exhausts on the Rakshasa shouldn't be glowing (either from having active engines or from damage)?

Otherwise, the pic just looks a bit sharp. Cool work. :)

The engines aren't on, that 'glowing' is actually lighting from the beam hitting the Hecate... I should have excluded that light on the rakshasa before I rendered, guess I forgot.

That really dosn't look like a Rak...

Anyways, other then the Manticore's lasers, it looks great. The lasers look like chopped up beams.

Looks more like a Basilisk than a Manticore :p
