That... looks .... ASHUM!!

by **Destral** 2011-03-09, 23:34

Nice, DW. Nice.

Now for something I almost never do...REALISTIC SHADOWS!

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-10, 01:01

Yeah... why don't you do those? That;s one of those things I always forget to ask (though I'd recommend Z-buffered if you're willing to wait for the longer renders)

by **Destral** 2011-03-10, 01:04

Its usually because I want to try to cut down on render times, and shadows usually take a while to render out, especially when theyre Raytraced. But I figured Id go the extra mile in this case.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-10, 01:12

Mm yeah, Ray Traced are basically the ultimate in realistic shadows, though Z-buffered are very nice IMO

Two more from the workshop:

A remake of my first Red Squad Episode 3 Tease:

The Romulan Kerchan Class REVEALED! (Postwork still in progress in this shot)

by Darkjedi 2011-03-10, 04:03

Wow, I love the way you did the light source reflection on the Romulan vessel!!! Amazing!

by **Thingy** 2011-03-10, 06:34

Holy mother of god... Did you do all this from scratch? Because if yes, how the fuck come every single company in the entertainment industry isn't begging you to work for them?

If that game development company I told you about ever becomes a reality, you're the first person outside the original team we'll hire. I doubt it will, indie development being a pain in the arse and the heliopolis deal being so uncertain, but hey, you can always dream, right?

by Vedic 2011-03-10, 07:54

The Intimidator Class, you see was made by some body for a game, every thing else looks like post work.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-10, 12:41

Post your expanded tease here! That new tease vid you put on Facebook is 100% awesome and is def goin in the trailer!

by **Destral** 2011-03-10, 14:38

Aw shucks guys. Okay, Ill be posting the tease with one more addition tonight on youtube. Maybe ill add in something special since that will be my 100 FUCKING VIDEO MARK!!!!!

by **Destral** 2011-03-11, 00:08

And here it is...I proudly present...my 100th video. Sunglasses would be advised.

At around 41 seconds in, try to find the silhouette within the sun. Wink

And an update on the Kerchan Shot:

That picture is more awesome, than Volcano Lighting

Marry me. Now. We'll run off to vegas and live together for the rest of our lives. Or at least as long as you provide me with nerdgasmic 3D stuff.

by **Destral** 2011-03-12, 18:51

Thingy, you made my day. Now allow me to return the favor:

by Vedic 2011-03-13, 11:52

All I can say is, if it weren't for the weapons effect, I could of sworn I was watching BSG.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-13, 11:56

And the engines, there's something a bit off in the engines, they're too white and solid I think

Work In Progress Shot:

And a poster that Im just picking away at:

by **Destral** 2011-03-15, 00:45

The Homeworld Hyperspace Effect with a bit of constructive license to the hyperspace window:

by **A-BIack_Man** 2011-03-15, 01:31

I'd like to see the video of that. it's coming right?

by **Destral** 2011-03-15, 01:43

It shall be up by tomorrow.

by **Destral** 2011-03-16, 00:41

by Vedic 2011-03-16, 12:09

I can't wait to see the perfected version of your Hyperspace window

by **Destral** 2011-03-18, 22:40

Upon suggestion by Darkwing and TCMurder, I'm aiming for something similar to the JJ Pulse Effect in my Razor Cannon, and here is a WIP shot:

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-18, 23:38

That is approximately 100 times better

by **Destral** 2011-03-18, 23:49

Thanks. Im still learning how to make it flare up on the screen, and I recently had an idea on how to accomplish it. But Ill wait for the first test video to get done rendering before I do anything else, which should be in a few hours.

by **Darkwing** 2011-03-18, 23:53

I would suggest post a la after effects

X_ The UnKowns_X's Space Dock?

by **Destral** 2011-03-30, 15:56

Nope, Raul Mamoru's. His was built with more attention to detail in mind than a game model, and since its so much bigger than a starship, and oftentimes somewhat like a set, detail is critical, especially for shots on the inside.

by **Destral** 2011-04-05, 05:23

"The Starship Chase!"

by Vedic 2011-04-05, 09:55

A Nova or Intrepid Class, captured by the dastardly Romulan Republic/Star Empire (This is after Romulus blew up, and the Romulan Civil War started, Right?), chased by the Merry band of Red Squad Recruits in they mighty, Eleanor-E?

Or nothing like that?

I can't tell if that's a Nova or Intrepid the Hull says Nova, the Nacelles say Intrepid, and I still think your Planets Atmosphere is to "strong". But nether less Great Scene.

by **Destral** 2011-04-05, 13:59

Its not an Intrepid or a Nova Class. Its the Vivace Class, designed by DJ Curtis.

Atmospheric re-entry test.

by **Darkwing** 2011-04-20, 19:08

I think your re-entry is too thick. Good start, but not quite how it should look:

by **Destral** 2011-04-20, 19:09

Ahhh, good reference. Im going to try Pete Draper's method next, though thats going to be a monster on render times.
