Is that background a model? I can see the wireframes...    Beautiful shot tho, if not a bit dark. But I guess that's the realism, eh? Nice pic.  

[Bobboau]

ya the background is a few plains but they got all wirey, so I'm reduing it.

Keep it up! It looks excellent.

[Stryke 9]

Better than any I've done...

[Bobboau]

   

what did Bobboau learn today kids

well Bobboau learned Turespace sucks with transparencys and anything with tranceparency should be removed from the radiosity prior to iteration.

i figured out how to fix that once... i think it's ambient glow to max - everything else to zero on the phong attributes


details on the background model.. because all mine are ****ty

[Bobboau]

I just used constant, but if you want it to glow use translucent plastic.

[Kazan]

really? and does that work for weapons effects also? making them "glow" a bit around the edges?

[Taristin]

Hm... I'll have to try that too. Weapons are hard.

[Bobboau]

I mostly use lens flares for pulse weapons, but it works for beams.

Retouch it in Photoshop for the plasma effect... And Just Say no to Lens Flares!

[Bobboau]

Whoa, that looks really, really cool. Very moody, so realistic.

And, weapons effects aren't... that hard...

[Bobboau]

I'm not sure about the explosion on the moloch, tho

[Setekh]

The Discovery, Bobboau.  

[Jabu]

The explosion seems to be a full 3D explosion. I've always thought bitmaps look better  

[Bobboau]

I was trying something diferent, and they it looks better is it's animated and has debris and such. that GVI one is several months old.
