Random tiger I knocked up this afternoon, sorry about the poor quality but my scanner is on its way out

Sledgehammer427 · 09-08-10, 10:28 AM

I wanted to get back into my sketching (stopped after high school... which gave me an excuse to start)
and with the upcoming meet, I figured I would draw something that...well...fit

it's rather rough but I don't think it's bad for a half an hour with only pencils and charcoal
the paper was a smisge too big for the scanner, rest assured the entire 571 is there

another one, a freehand I did of a type XXI being launched.

Trying out some 3D compositing stuff.

Chad · 09-15-10, 03:54 PM

Nice work, texture and model!

Dowly · 09-15-10, 04:12 PM

The Mech comes with Modo.

Tho, currently building my own.

EDIT: And here be the little I've got done for my mech.

Chad · 09-15-10, 11:01 PM

Oh is that the mech that is written about in all those tutorials?

Don't recall seeing any tutorials for the Mech, maybe you're thinking the WMD tank.

Chad · 09-16-10, 09:51 AM

Maybe.. I've been all sorts of confused lately

Dowly · 09-16-10, 05:20 PM

Quickie

Dowly, how are you finding Modo? How does it compare to say 3ds Max, in terms of ease of use, render quality/time etc?

Dowly · 09-16-10, 06:02 PM

Wouldn't switch to anything else. Very easy to use and learn. I heard Industrial Light & Magic switched to Modo awhile back too.

I mostly do non-textured renders, so they are pretty fast. Once you start using complex materials with reflections etc. the render times go up naturally, but it's not that bad. Think it took 4-5 minutes to render an 1280x720 version of the Minigun with some extra geometry and all kinds of shiny materials in it.

Definitely a worth to check out, think they got a 15-day trial on their page.

@ Dowly : I can do it in a few seconds at my end once the light in the scene is set up correctly.

I guess you guys need some help in 3DS regarding lights ?

As what you need to have in the scene is an atmospheric light, I think you've all been amazed by the time you need to render a scene with some skylight included, eh.

Why does it take so much time ?
The more light rays, the more atmospheric the light will be, the better it will look in the end... And consequently ? The more time you'll need to render the scene.
How to reduce the number of light rays, thus reducing rendering times ?

Simple.
Create your skylight. Select "Rendering" at the top of the screen, and click on "Light Tracer". Then, decrease the original number of rays/sample (250, originally). Decrease it to something like 100, for example, and your rendering time is going to be reduced by... 2000 % ? (yes, 2000)

Apart from that... Pretty good job so far, Dowly, keep it up !
