the second one with the shadows looks very good Jerrican, maybe a bit of postworked shadow for the first one too!
I am not sure I agree with Wendy about the first one. The light is obviously coming from in front of the bot, so the shadows appear accurate to me. But something doesn't look quite right. I know it's an object on a pre-rendered background, but that's exactly what it looks like. Maybe try to add some motion blur or depth of field to the background? It's quite a hard call on this one.
Definitely not a bad render though.
Actually, it might be worth trying to render something on the ground on the first image, and using post-worked shadows on that object, just so you get some idea of distance and perspective.
Sorry if that sounds very critical. I actually like the renders!
Feeling really debuffed today, after yesterday's trip to hospital (just a big checkup, nothing serious) and the virus I've got, I can hardly concentrate on anything.
Going to experiment with 3D though, seems like a good excuse to play! And it's not like I've got no toys to play with is it?
You have more toys than time, so get busy playing and learning. Have a good day and get over that virus.
Thanks for the tips - here is a quick and dirty update to the image, trying out some of the advice. Not sure how to work with depth of field yet, though. Hope you like it. :)
And I hope you get to feeling better soon. :)
looking good, is that dust?, very cool.
Yes looking very good to me jerriecan, I hope to see this project when it's finished.
Now, for something For me, About me, and yes, it made me very HAPPY to be able to post this. I now own the FULL AniMate2 and four sets of M4 Aniblocks to go with it. Happy Dance Time!
Yeah this virus is kicking the lego out of me, I've got nearly no feeling in my left hand. Apparently it's because the virus attacks nerves in the neck, which makes that sore too. It's not nice, I don't want it.
That looks SO much better, with the shadows and such, well done mate. And I love the dust too.
Congratulations, Jaderail. Wendy got you hook, line, and sinker into animation. What's next? Maybe it starts with a "C." Expansion of knowledge is a good thing.

That is bad, BBS. Might as well play while it runs it course. I know a couple of people in the forums that you should give to, but not to me.

Won't give it to you, don't worry.
One thing I have learned lately is a massive amount of respect for the people that make the models on sale here. It's amazing how simple some of them are when they are deconstructed, and yet they look so great.
My own modelling is a bit of an up and down process, I do something, then I undo it to see if I can do it better, and I usually can so it's worthwhile. Then I find that I need to do some changes to something I did several steps previously and everything goes pear shaped!
But I am learning. Lots.
I guess most people have been out stuffing themselves with turkey and stuffing today.
You have learned so much, Barry. Thanks for letting me watch.
Hehe, more than welcome. Though I haven't learned as quickly as I'd like. It's that cursed RealLife(tm) that's getting in the way!
I think that virus has quite literally vanished overnight. I've got feeling in both my hands again, my neck is feeling better and I'm not feeling at all woozy. Fingers crossed, it's just *poof* gone!
Today I am focusing on modelling, texturing and shading my elven style building. I haven't done much on it because I wanted to work on a pistol, but the pistol is becoming quite a large project, I want to do the insides of it as well (not all, just the ones visible during motion).
But I promised someone a render and a render I will deliver :D
I've still got that feeling of having an embarrassment of riches. I am finding that I like some parts of some software and other parts of other software and I'm finding it supremely difficult to stick to one application!
Cinema 4D is getting on my nerves, for very different reasons to Maya. At least from a modelling perspective. I am finding it difficult to align parts of objects with each other, and the amount of time I'm spending just fiddling around with stuff is a monster.
Still plugging away though.
How is everyone?
you go Barry!
The daddy is off today, so I've got some free time to spend on the computer without the Babe grabbing my coffee mug. There's some cleaning up I want to do on my laptop. Then go upstairs and see how the mic/soundcard will work on the desktop. D/l some more stuff from DAZ and install it. Finish an animation. Drink lots of coffee. Pee a lot.
Those are my plans for the day.
COFFEE, YAY!
I'm learning lots... erm... in Hexagon. Now I'm exporting a very simple shape into Maya to play with shaders for a bit!
Never got upstairs or around to installing anything today. Didn't work on animating either. The Babe succeeded in absconding with my coffee mug several times.
Did The Babe bring it back, full of coffee?
Not sure if I can get out of the village today, floods have been at work!

No coffee in it, but he did put a chicken nugget in it for me. Oh, yummy.
Send excess water to Texas, please.

Yuck, chicken nugget!
What? Chicken nugget in a coffee cup. Not to much yuck to me... but a nugget floating in my coffee? Now that would be a real yuck.
