Some new art...

Brikar · 07-09-2003, 04:38 AM

Some stuff I've done lately:

My first model:

It sucks. Hard. But I'm only just learning it, so.... blow me.

But I've actually rebuilt the entire thing from scratch since then and it's much better. I'll post that when I get onto my other computer in an hour or so.

A frame from a quick animation:

A still image from a speech I gave on the advantages of LW over the other major 3D apps:

The Defiant in orbit of a planet it has no business being in orbit of:

A shot from a tutorial I wrote for space scenes for a class:

A quick test to try out Pyromania Pro:

An image I was still working on when my girlfriend decided to turn off my computer:

Geocities still doesn't like linking, so I don't know if you guys are gonna be able to see these without doing some fancy cut'n'paste, or at all. I'll fix it later if not.

I've got a few more things, but not on this computer. I'll put more up later.

Hey, can I be moderator again?

Hm, some of these don't have credits I just noticed. I'll fix that when I get back to my other comp, too, but here they are for now:

1701-A by Eric Petersen and Chris Guinn
1701-E by Ralph Schoberth
Defiant by Skye Dodds
Coruscant by Fabio Passaro
Drydock by Zippy
Phobos (Low Poly) by Fabio Passaro and MattC[/img]

It's really hard to tell if it sucks or not without some texture.

Uh... I don't know. Should there be an icon somewhere telling me that I am?

EDIT: Sweet, I think I found it...

Where the fuck did the pictures go?

Cymro · 07-09-2003, 09:01 AM

My only criticism is that they're too dark for my taste, I mean, I had to turn on the ol' TV display to take a good look, but I'll say that the Defiant one looks fucking good on my TV.

I gotta disagree with Cymro... I don't find the images too dark at all, I like that way actually, I mean how much light is there in space?

Brikar · 07-09-2003, 04:30 PM

Maybe it's a gamma issue with your monitor, because they look perfectly fine on mine.

Mmmm, flat-panel....

But I have no issues seeing any of the images I posted, and, indeed, I made some of them purposefully dark.

But yeah, there's no ambient light in space, and turning on the ambient light in LW makes things look like crap unless you're rendering a sunny afternoon or something. Totally washes out any kind of detail, and you can forget about decent-looking shadow maps.

Well even after cutting & pasting, the images still don't show up in here for me.

That little red "x" is sure cool as hell though!

Brikar · 07-09-2003, 05:04 PM

Well, I'll make an html page with thumbnails on it, then. Gimme 5 min.
