I never said they perfect... The first one was a test of smooth quad dividing, the second was a test of transparency on the Anuket. (that model BTW has over 33000 polies thx to quad dividing, it is, however, very very beautiful)

See the gas collector section? It's gorgeous.

Errr... just because his renders aren't very good doesn't mean yours is. His are kinda freaky, if he did overdo it with aspect in the first and texturing in the second (the Anuket shouldn't be transparent, although it is sweet- and the Serapi look like they've been electrocuted).

Learn to take criticism well. Otherwise, never ever render or model. It's not a personal attack, just deconstructive criticism.

[Stryke 9]

And coming from someone who posted FOUR TIMES, your whining about my afterthought posts is just... stupid.

[NeoHunter]

Nice renders but why is the first render like looking through a fish bowl? The ships look distorted.

Yeah, that first one looks, well..... ****** .  Like, was the cameraman on some psychoactive chemicals or what?

[Setekh]

Damn, that Anuket looks friggin' sweet...

[Fineus]

It'd look better with some bump-mapping and some lighting on it, essentially the sweet thing is that transparent gas chamber. But it does look damn good.

Oh and guys, try not to slag eachother off to badly - I don't want to own a good interesting thread but if it turns sour I will.

Hey, Thunder! Use Thumbnails!  

[Fineus]

It's only 4 1024x768s hardly modem frying, but thumbnails = work, and you know what I think of work...

Nah. Don't like thumbnails, that's one more click, and I'm laaaaazy :þ

hey no one told me how to anti alias and bump map my ships.

and how do u get the ship images into photoshop? i take a screenshot of em when viewing them in modelview32. is there any better way?

[Stryke 9]

Bump mapping requires a 3D program and at least some skill. Anti-aliasing, I never paid any attention to whether it was antialiased or not, and have yet to receive complaints (about anti-aliasing at any rate  )

If you've never seen a skin that's not aligned with the texture right (particularly when the texture has grooves, patterns etc.) Let me tell you-it gets ugly. Only a few noobs I've seen were actually capable of such a feat, but obviously it is in the realm of incompetence.

well, the thing is to assign a bump map which is usually the same as the ormal one, but grey scale. As it shares the same UV mapping, well... to get non aligned buimp maps, you really have to do it on purpose.
