Looks great guys! :up:

Hey, a galaxy. Looks nice. :)

What program did you use to make it?

Photoshop

Nice work guys! I hadn't checked this thread in awhile. Everything looks good!

That looks cool, nice. :)

Man, I like very much the shading of every material in the scene !
Leather and metal (the nose wheel especially) look just great. :yeah:
Cool work mate !
Keep it up ! :up:

Edit

Reducing the specular level of the babe's skin may make it look even better though. :hmm2:

Call me perfectionist. :O:

Thanks man, I'm still playing around with SkinVue's settings, I'll have a fiddle around with the specular sliders. Though one reason for the brightness there is because I put a point light very close to light up her body and i think i made it a little bit too bright. :doh: :D

Vue and the extra apps are growing to be more and more faster in making complex stuff that used to take quite some time. Like Skinvue for example, or the normal Vue that can make realistic terrain/sky if you just got the CPU power to render the scenes.

One thing those who make 3D models to keep an eye out is Modo, it's taken the 3D community by storm. Not nearly as popular as 3ds MAX atm, but it's catching up very fast. It's extremely easy for both newbies and pro's to get into as the interface is very nicely organized.

Check it out: http://www.luxology.com/

They got 15-day trial.

This be the program I really started to learn 3D modelling with, (King Tiger on the earlier pages of this thread.) I had tried 3ds MAX dozens of times, but it's interface was just so clumsy for a newbie to learn.

I think I'll give Modo a look. It sometimes seems as if Max is completely bent on doing exactly the opposite of what you ask it to do...

I saw Modo while i was flicking through a 3d magazine down my local newsagent a few months ago, someone had made an awesome Spitfire with, they seemed to be saying it was good for making vehicles and such. Might give it a try.

You can do pretty much any 3D work with it. It comes with sculpting tools etc. so not just machinery but organic stuff is doable.

Technically you can do whatever you want with pretty much any serious modelling software, the question is how easy it is to do.

Aye, that's true.

Anywho, here's a great tutorial series for modo that shows how to build an mech/tank thingy. You get a pretty good sense on how easy the program is to use.

The parts are scattered around, but should be easy to find.

Very nice! You've come a long way from the civilian car you build when I was still hanging around with the crew. :up:
