[QUOTE=theleader123;16495004]How do you do caustics?[/QUOTE] Have a light that will emit them, and an object that will use them. Google it. Also, just rendered a 3ds max scene with 3,000,000 polys bitch! (@3200x1700)

[QUOTE=Fan-Fanatic;16482365]It's Stretched 'coz i made it and found out it was too short.. went into edit mode and pulled it longer :D[/QUOTE] it looks like a weird alien penis, not some missile. everything shouldn't be fused together like that on a piece of machinery. it's all way too smooth, including your gun (which just looks stupid by the way)

If I can find out if there are smooth groups in blenderand how to get yafray to work and after some work I'm sure it'll look good. It's still a very early wip

ok i made this quikly i was messing around with volumetric lights , caustics and shadows...i call it..into the gates...what do you think? [IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/wat0tg.jpg[/IMG] im using for my desktop..if anyone wants any other colur or size just ask EDIT: i made one with a crappy little dude [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/2iuet8z.jpg[/IMG] and another one...i think this one is best [IMG]http://i30.tinypic.com/w7zwwh.jpg[/IMG]

Looks Nice.. More Progress on Rifle.. Made The trigger Guard, Extended the barrel, fixed some minor stuff and made the chin guard ? or how its called.. just rendering with an external render. will post result if done [img]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7459/rifle3.jpg[/img] [editline]10:19AM[/editline] Oh just saw it misses a thumb hole [editline]11:57AM[/editline] damn .. if i render with lux it turns out like this even with a background plate whyyy?

Sorry, but it's just a meshsmoothed mess. What you've basically done is slap some shapes and hoped that the smooth modifier takes care of the rest. Which it never does. Or that's what it looks like to me.

Reason it smooths like that is because of really bad geometry, I guess.

i think so -.- i'll post an unsmoothed version-- holding it would be impossible i guess.. fucked up the grip [img]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4961/unbennt.jpg[/img]

SO it is a cardboard cutout? No wonder it looks bad when smoothed.

[img]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6351/rifle4.jpg[/img] [editline]12:35PM[/editline] what could i do to make it look better ?

Well, i would personally start doing it all over again.

Try plane modeling or at least make the sides not flat.

Looking through my old albums, I should get into modelling again. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/abigserve/Japangarden.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/abigserve/sniper5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/abigserve/iSourcerifle.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=PLing;16498152]Try [B]plane modeling[/B] or at least make the sides not flat.[/QUOTE] What would that be in detail ?

[QUOTE=Fan-Fanatic;16499671]What would that be in detail ?[/QUOTE] Start modeling from a plane.

Instead of spawning a box and extruding the shit out of it, you spawn a plane and extrude the shit out of the edges.

Like this ? [img]http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3470/asdnt.jpg[/img]

Indeed.

I hate plane modeling :( started a car with it.

guns is about 1/6 finished on one side.. just need to figure out proper mirroring in blender .. it's probably gonna be a bitch

I call this one the Idiot Cull Missle. [img_thumb]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8543/idiotcullmissle.jpg[/img_thumb] HUGE IMAGE

[IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/29v3ub.jpg[/IMG] Can someone please tell me why mental ray produces this utter darkness? I think it would look good with proper lighting... And yes, I put a light in... Omni to be exact. -snip0r-

Try rendering a preview in the exposure menu and then change the exposure mode and see which suits the best.

I'm doing a Real Flow scene with 500,000 particles, I'll post it when I'm done.

[IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/2co1zra.jpg[/IMG] Here's it without lighting because every time I tried changing the exposure mr gave me errors that it wasn't supported when it looked just fine in the little preview... :bang: Also, the balls seem "Upside down" or something...
