Hey Setekh, you should really find the time to make a few tutorials. Pass on your wisdom. :)

*Hopes all this praise doesn't go to Eddie's head* :p

Well, sure! Go for it - just give the proper credit for the models and the render, as usual. Odd - I guess not many people had seen CB2 before; you're the second person in a couple of days to request to use it. :)

Well, I wouldn't deny the possibility of anything. It's not like I don't have any tricks left up my sleeve, y'know?

Maeg... no comment for you. Except for the fairly obvious statement that renders, in a sense, are not creative things themselves - they only ever bring out what's already there, even if it may simply have been unseen before. ;)

Thank you! :) I've missed them ever since Array went "down". Wonderful stuff. :D

Hey The Spac, didn't realise you were another Sydneysider. Good on ya. ;) You're relatively new around here - you'd probably never seen them before, right?

And thanks, Andreas. I missed them quite a lot too. But soon enough, you'll all be seeing quite a lot of them. ;)

Steak, where'd some of these come from?  There are ships in there that I've never seen but which look really good.  In particular, the untextured ships here.  Some of this stuff goes back to the days before I was a regular, so a bit of it is new to me.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

Hmmmm, those are definitely old. IIRC those particular ones were from a guy named Apothess - a real trueSpace whiz, but he never really entered the community very much. You can see his first post here (check out the thread ID in the URL!)... or you can check his profile and the list of posts he made. I can virtually guarantee that all his stuff is probably gone, though. :(

You know, this reminds me that Steak did some really good work and never did get around to doing anything with the Raynor. ;)

The Raynor is a really nice looking ship alright.

Well, it's not like I did nothing with the Raynor... ;)





...though I admit, I wish I could have spent more time with it. I miss the days when I could just spent a day staring at a model and finding the most beautiful angles to show it off. :)

Okay, it's completely because of that. ;) You can see I developed my explosion rendering in lucifer-explode-prev.jpg and neptune-boom.jpg... but I wasn't really pleased with it until about century.jpg. After that, there were explosions a-plenty (e.g. covenant.jpg).


Don't spose you'd share some methods on how to get a good explosion in 3dsMax... :D ^_^
