Since my last render enlisted no comments here is something better. This came out so good it is now my current desktop.

HMS Astute in undersea canyon.

Looks good, I like the 2nd one. :)

How long did it take to render the scene?

Thanks, it took about 30 seconds to render.

30 seconds? Quite fast. :)

Its not that complex of a scene, 35,000 polygons- most of that is the trench. One light source, and environmental fog.

Well, minus the wheels and the base which are shamelessly taken from another model. You know, it's called reuse :DL

Good to reuse, saves time. :DL

Nice looking train! :up:

Working on a british X-Craft. Wanted to do this a long time after reading 'Sink the Tirpitz'. I found some plans for the X5-X10 series [more here].
If you have any good pics or drawing please share. I want to add a lot of details once the basic form is done.

My X-Craft is starting to look like something from outer space. Still not happy with the upper part of the tail, the one next to the exhaust. I will probably have to redo it later but for now I'm sick of tweaking.

The plans I found are so misaligned that I suspect the British did it on purpose to confuse the enemy should they get their hands on them.

The real thing at Maritime Quest, only it's X-24

:o

Wow, looks nice. :up:

Google Sketchup? :hmmm:

No, Rhinoceros. flakmonkey already posted a very nice and detailed poly model of this sub. I am using NURBS as I'd like to have the exact curves of the real sub.

A quick Subsim preview of a pic I'll be putting up on dA tomorrow.

Any thoughts?
Drawing sea is a bitch! :haha:

More good work Oberon! What is the link to your dA page?

Have you considered a CGI sea with hand drawing objects (the ships and planes)? I've seen a few movies where traditional animation and CGI are mixed and I thought it looked very interesting.

Thank you :yeah:

That's an idea...I haven't got an CGI programs at the mo, is there any free ones that you would recommend?
