LOL no its cool man dont worry about it, a mate of mines an admin of some sort anyways on that site and he was saying the same thing that he was abit over critical, However it did motivate me to make the model that little bit more precise,

WELL

Today I : solved the gravity problem and added landing gears
: Rigged some lighting to try match the shows blue hues in the bay.

So heres my progress lol

The red is abit weird i think its the reflectiveness on the material I have ile fix it when i can actually muster the power to click a mouse when I get some rest.

I do like the blue one more than the red one. It contrasts better with the colour scheme of the Viper iteself. Other than that, can you turn on radiosity for a single render? It'll only require a bit more time to compute but I think that's what the overall picture needs.

Some more of an update..

looks very good.

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 12-12-2005 04:44 PM

Looks like several really sharp lights. A nice lighting set up but you will need the radiosity to make it look good from there. That will get rid of the massive patches of black on the hanger.

More of an update, added the radiosity and it works wonders.

Sorry bout the lack of updates was my 24th yesterday and was getting pissed all day so i was in no shape to walk let alone model 3d stuff lol

Do irish people ever change tho lol

Heh. Funky.

Happy Birthday, by the way.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-13-2005 11:25 AM

thanks man , from what I remember it was a good birthday lol

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 12-13-2005 01:47 PM

One note on radiosity that I keep forgetting, turn the lighting down to around 50-75% of what it was before you switched it on.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-15-2005 12:41 AM

More of an update,

Added some more effects to the scene and alittle noise.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-15-2005 01:54 PM

Heres more updates anyways.

lost_jedi · **Posted**: 12-15-2005 02:03 PM

These just keep getting better and better Grin

MLeo · **Posted**: 12-15-2005 03:50 PM

You may want to tweak your noise, I see repeating patterns, noise *shouldn't* have that.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-16-2005 01:54 AM

reduced the amount of noise alittle bit

Heres and update.

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 12-16-2005 06:35 PM

I'm not a fan of that much noise. Its distracting from the overall look of the renders.

Plus, I don't think your Vipers are on the ground, it looks like the landing gear is floating a few inches up.

MLeo · **Posted**: 12-16-2005 07:08 PM

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-16-2005 09:30 PM

Ok

Hopefully these will redeem me lol

So heres the latest batch, reduced the amount of noise but left a hint of it just to make it feel gritty

Pegasus · **Posted**: 12-16-2005 11:55 PM

Try turning the noise to a bare minimum.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-17-2005 02:08 AM

turned it down alittle more so heres my last for today, In work 2moro but ile be finishing up modelling on the bay on sunday cuse x-mas is nxt week and want to get as drunk as possible so i cant remember working for it lol

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 12-18-2005 05:09 PM

The way I do it is with the lowest intensity possible but with the highest 'noise' value so you get a very subtle pattern rather than an actual grain to it.

Pegasus · **Posted**: 12-18-2005 05:30 PM

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 12-18-2005 05:43 PM

Plus, are you doing the grain in post production or is it part of the render?

Pegasus · **Posted**: 12-18-2005 06:02 PM

I think it's because the mini-movie had a grainy effect.

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-18-2005 07:41 PM

yeah the grain is part of the render, didnt add it in photoshop like

jimmy_obrien · **Posted**: 12-20-2005 02:40 PM

hers more of an update, reduced the grain even further so you can only see a hint of it really

Pegasus · **Posted**: 12-20-2005 03:55 PM

Much better Smile
