    In between work this week, I have been designing and creating a tactical flashlight, but this is not your standard flashlight. I hoped to add features that in the real world are typically separate or in another form altogether. It has all your normal light functions such as: High beam, Low Beam and High Beam Strobe, but it to also features Laser light and High power UV light (The UV light requiring filters for alternate wavelengths. Its function is intended to detect Bodily fluids as well as UV Ink (UV Tattoos) and UV Watermarks (Security features on Identification documents, Currency notes and Bank/credit Cards)). In addition to its specs, the design has weapon mounting in mind. Overall, it’s designed to be used by military/police (In fiction).

    Modes (UV Light, High Beam, Low Beam and Laser) are set via a rotating dial. Strobe is activated with the button below the Mode Dial and the activation button is at the end of the flashlight.

    This was originally my first Daz prop, I made a low polly version initially, then got sidetracked with many other projects and it was vaulted lol This is a compiled image of my shader/textured test renders, also was curious about lighting.

    Did I mention I love torches... seriously its up there with stationary... I have to remind myself constantly that I don't need one (I have 6) XD

    Very nice, good clean design, looks very functional.

    Wonderful work there, the texturing looks great.

    Thanks guys! :cheese:

    I think I know UV mapping cylindrical shapes off by heart now LOL and the textures are 100% CGI, lots of layers and heaps of vector shapes and noise

    So far the fog cam is unpredictable - some render no haze, some renders - almost all black. I'm not sure it's agreeing with ,y lights, that's the next thing to check. Meh. Gives me something to do tonight. :-S

    keep camera out of the fog bounds, fog won't render with the camera inside it :)

    wrong kind of Fog, these are the Atmospheric Effects cameras from Age of Armor, they create the fog effect at render time.

    @ Spyro... Very nicely done on the flashlight all the way around, from design on through to final execution.

    I'll take one pocket sized model, one for the glove compartment, a baton sized version and a staffed sized unit with super high beam and a bayonet mounting for defense against the local mountain lion. ;-)

    You want a start and end point to get this effect tho

    Been looking at the lighting in Underworld and realised they graded a lot of red out of the print leaving it more green than blue, as if it was under water :lol:

    that's the volumetric camera, the fog camera is a tad more basic,

    Dark now...after midnight. But the day was another beautiful one...clear blue sky. Tomorrow is going to be the last like that. Expecting rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Gotta mow the weeds before it rains!

    ...just got back from a neighbourhood picnic. Good noms (for free) good music and just a nice evening to sit in the park for a while after another 90° day.


    Again, Thanks everyone for the comments on my little flutterby queen. That was another pic I had wanted to do for a while. All those flowers really took a toll not only on the rendering resources but also the GPU's memory while setting up. I actually had turn off the background items and garden so I could arrange and pose the flutterby swarm around Leela.

    So if you want to render a big garden, better have the memory to support it as the file size during rendering topped out at about 9.8 GB.

    ...been dark for several hours now here. Sun setting earlier and earlier every night.

    Sitting here watching pixels render. kind of like watching paint dry. Running several tests with different Fog Multiplier levels to see which looks the best. Now on render three with 600 metres depth and a Multiplier level of 110.

    Hoped to upload tonight but think it best to look over the three renders in the morning when I'm not so tired. Fortunately this one takes less than a third of the time to render than the Leela and Flutterbys one did

    Cooked Salmon in garlic and basil tonight whoa the Salmon cooked real fast almost burned it, would maybe have been slower to render a Salmon that cook it. Must've been the marinade that tenderised it a tad too much :lol:
