My first real render in a while. (Sulaco...see it to believe it)
on: February 08, 2005, 09:30:58 pm
Name says it all, I got bored and here's 20 minutes worth of work.

I used this shot from the Aliens movie



and came up with this!

I'm going to be fixing up a few things (nebula needs to be different, and the hull needs some shine to it...)

Comments? Questions? Critisisms?

Awesome. I would even say yours looks better, its darker and more moody. If you were going for a close resembelance, you definitely got it.

Great work.

Then what are you waiting for? :devil:

Sulaco looks great, just add some shine and maybe a better starfield.

Great translation from the reference pic. :) What it's missing is specular. Get some shininess on there. :yes:

Two updates for ya (next post though)

I added specular to the model as well as tweak a few things. This is the results



Good things: Specular! It's Shiny! It looks a bit closer to the pic!

Bad things: Moodiness of the first pic is lost. Too "Blue" in the lighting. TOO MUCH Shininess. Sun is too big. Shadows are too hard.

All of these are fixed and improved in the last pic (hopefully *crosses fingers*)

It's so much better than the movie shot it's ridiculous.

Why not!

1280x1024: Click me!

And for Falcon...

Enjoy!

And if anyone has any ideas about how it can be tweaked/improved, please pass them along!
