TPU's own 3D renders

[troyrae360]

light needs its intensity dropped also try and move it a tad further back and up that image plan has a bright spot thus most light would come from that direction also try and chance the light to match the color around it also if u know how tweak the ambiet color to better reflect ur image choice you have the right ideas you have entered the dreaded it looks good phase but how can i make it better and thats where trial and error comes in

Trial and error is what its all about for me at this stage, it seems so easy to have somthing almost right then mess the whole thing up, lol

it still looks good but lighting is always tricky it matters more than the object being rendered imo. As it makes or breaks the look. youll get it though.

Yup, lighting is where its at imo

eagerly awaiting

Same, hows the chopper going?

have you guys done any latley?

Quick update. Not a great bit further but its getting there slowly.

looking real good,

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

easier way to model that is to use proper edge loops in the geometry im seeing some weird edgeloops and those cause shading errors as far as looks go its coming along nicely once u get further along and get better and faster at it start looking into edgeflow and edgelooping for better form. anyway great work so far

Hey guys, noone's been posting any renders this week

So......

I came up with a little idea, I've made what I call the TPU Gallery, What i've done is grabbed a coupple of your renders (and a coupple of mine) , built frames for them and hung them up in the gallery.

Any way Id like it to be known that the picture of the Island on the far left is Solaris's and the picture of the human model on the left hand wall is by Crazyeyesreaper
So thanks guys, and if you have any problem with them being in this model please tell me and i will remove them immeaditley

If you anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment, I would like this model to be an ongoing progect for all of us to enjoy, and would like to keep adding to it, so if you have a model or render you would like to be added into it feel free to ask.

I will upload the pic in 5 min enjoy

np bro. i havent been posting cause my main rig is done. catastrophic failure. mobo ram cpu teh fuxored. and no $$ to RMA so im on the laptop.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

and me ive had alot of trouble getting Maya 2009 working properly its hating my ati 5850s in crossfire waiting on drivers to mature at the moment altho mudbox works like a champ at 50mill polygons in realtime sculpting

NOOOOO!!! Thats real bad news we need you modeling and rendering ASAP

 

[troyrae360]

I'm currentley rendering another more high qual/realistic version of it but its gonna take a few hours on this computer, so stay tuned

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

seeing that i think when my winter work period is over im going to do a new character model from the ground up and ill probably go over the top with a female character this time in the typical hyper sexualized way every game babe is created lol

shame I haven't had some time to finish my project

I like the idea Troy

Thanks, I'll save a spot on the wall for when your project is finished

So have you been working on it latley, how much have you done?

 

[Solaris17]

wow that is super epic awesome GJ

 

[DrPepper]

Wow terragen 2 is out and it supports 8 threads This will be fun and some advanced ray tracing features will get some pictures soon.

 

[troyrae360]

wow that is super epic awesome GJ

Thanks, Im re-rendering it so it should look abit more photorealistic, but its taking a very long time!! if it dosn't finish in the next 3 hours im gonna have to count my losses and shut it down.

Messing about with ray tracing and refective shaders. Just a test and not a polished product.

Nice, looks like wet beach sand if you cover the top half of the picture, looks cool,

Is that the free version on terragen 2?

Nah it's not free.

 

[MilkyWay]

looks like mud or clay mountains to me

 

[troyrae360]

Nah it's not free.

How much dose it cost? I spotted that they have a free non commercial version

 

[DrPepper]

Yeah I haven't even given it a proper texture. Damn I can't even get half decent waves. Also it takes fecking ages to render even using 8 threads at 4ghz.

The price is $299 but I got it for about ~£70 because I pre-ordered it and had terragen one.

Not a bad price, I might have to try the free version, I think any raytacing takes a long time, my render that im currentley doing has been rendering for 6 hours now!! , do you have access to any other computers? you might be able to set them up as a small render farm?
