Ok I've textured my Mech now, tell me what you think
(I know I still need to practise texturing )
(but thanks to some people for useful hints )




and then... Cell Shading anyone

[Silver_Scythe]

Nice

[NeoHunter]

Not bad. Judging from its design and size, I would say its a light recon Mech. Mostly rotary cannons and a missile pack.

I agree that the texturing needs a little more improvement but its just fine for now.

And what is this Cell Shading? Where can I get it?

[Gortef]

Thanks guys

yea it is a light mech
(but don't underestimate it's firepower, you haven't seen the Main Cannon in action , maybe someday you will)

Cell Shading is a a rendering method that renders images so that they look like they would have been drawn (makes them a bit cartoon like) by adding outlines etc.
using it depends if rendering/modeling software has a support for it... I guess. Cinema 4D has a built in one as does Max (or so I've heard). I'm not sure about Lw or other progs.

Can you out the link up to Cell Shading for me?

[Redfang]

Very nice!
 
Many people make mechs here.

[Gortef]

Yep that's the Main Cannon allright

err... do you mean a Cell Shading plugin for some 3D prog., information about it or...?

[Styxx]

Nice work, but it's too reflective...

[Gortef]

yea propably... but thanks

Cell shading rocks... that's only halfway there, but it still rocks.

[Styxx]

Drop all the reflectance on the Cell Shading one and it'll look a lot better...

[Nico]

Venom's guide to good cell shading renders:
-drop the reflectance, as chtichks said
-drop the bump
-adjust Shading and specular Dropoff to get only 3 levels of shading per map ( if cinema 4D can do that of course)
-make the outlines a bit thicker for still renders ( thiner for animations)

the effect you want to achieve is perfect on the BG mountains

[Gortef]

good hint stixx... venom, but I thought about that one myself too

as for other venom's hints, some of them I would propably have never thought of... gotta try them, afterall I just found out the Cell Shading option recently (I knew there was one though)

but that's for future... now I'm working this one

The explosion will be bigger, and I'll try to make the Main Cannon fire... also I'll make the camera rotate a little... and propably some other stuff aswell

[Unknown Target]

Wow!

[Gortef]

Thanks UT... I'm really beginning to enjoy making these
and I'm also learning so much

Nice !
The background is really "Mechish".
Is the model also your work ?

[Gortef]

yep, it sure is
