Or more specifically, Podrace-related games.  Somehow, Racer Revenge got me in the creative spirit.  So, I present again another mediocre NURBs constructed model, my own podracer.

Enjoy, and please be kind when stating how horrible it came out.  :D

Edit: Link fixed.

Quite cool podracer you have there, in fact. Just need some more detail, and some work on the materials... :)
Probably away. Contact through email.

In Detail, he means like for example that 'purple electricity' going between those two 'pods' (?!) looks like a piece of string more than electricity... and put some more 'effects' and stuff on the actual pods (?!) so they look like they're actually 'working'... like a light or a control panel or something


i suck at rendering period, so i'm not one to judge, but you asked for an opinion :)


EDIT:

It's awesome thougH :)

That's because the last part of the link was cut off.  Also, I'm using Rhino 3D, which is NOT a renderer.  :D  It can make 3D models, but can't render them beyond what you can see in my pics.

Such as panels for maintenance on the sides, movable parts for maneuvering on the body and wings, some dents and extrusions here and there to create a better feeling of size, heat exhaustion ports on the body, some lights, a glow on the electric arc, a better engine formation on the middle (something around the blades, they seem to connect direct to the main body right now, and it looks odd), a texture that shows panels on the surface or something like that... etc. etc. etc.

Just giving some ideas. :)

Heat exaution ports could be done easily..dents and stuff would be a bit tougher...lights, nearly impossible with Rhino, though I could do some touch-ups with PS.  Glow, same thing.  The blades do connect, but...hey, I never said I was a pro. :D  All the same, easily fixed...  Textures are a bit tough with Rhino, but I'll see what I can do... *rummages through FS textures*

You may consider using one of the FS textures as a bump map.  That might be more of the effect you are looking for.

Doesn't look enough like actual jet engines.  Pull off the cowlings. ;)

Podracing, cool? HAH!

Anakin is a moron, Georg Lucas can't get story lines to match, the gimp.

Ahem, watch A New Hope. The owens buy 3PO from the Jawas, now watch episode two, he is already working for them. Why doesn't he realise this in ep 4?

ok one thing ... wait until ep3 comes out, then you will be able to go off on one and start throw comments all over the shop. in ep3 it will prob solve most the problems there are at the moment.

But untill then you cant actually say anything about anything, because you just dont know.

Bear in mind, there are many, many 3PO units out in the galaxy.  And with all the droid they have, do you really expect old Owen to remember 3PO?
