Here's my latest experiments in rendering. Been working like heck on this months entry so that's why I haven't been around.

P.S. Happy Holidays everyone.

Here's something that I knocked out this week using a helmet/hud setup.  Couldn't help myself and rendered from doomguy's pov.

That is one helluva complex HUD set up right there!  Hmm... I've always thought that HUD components ought to be rendered in some kind of light blue-tinged red to not blind the fella while still providing ample sharpness to convey the textual information.

That said though, as always, am enjoying your renders.  Seeing you slowly improve over time has been quite a treat!  Though I keep coming back to the whole "you need to light/shadow differently" aspect...  maybe do some experiments with some real-life multi-point source lighting to develop a stronger intuition?

Lastly, have a happy new year and may your renders continue to improve and you winning the render-of-the-month one day!  =D

Here's my latest render, coming in at a total time of over 3 hours.

The hair looks wonderful!  And he has arms of steel to fire at full-auto without the butt in his shoulder.  =D

I am rather disturbed at the feet of the red demon on the other end though...

"Arms of steel" you say? Just goes to show you how BADASS he is.
(Don't ask how much gel he has in his hair though to keep it in place.)

As for the demon, remember that in the movie the hostiles were once human.

Sorry I haven't posted anything this month, it hasn't been a good one for my family and I.

I hate to say it, but my uncle took his life back on the 10th, so I've be out of it.

Sorry about bringing it up, and I'll try to think of some ideas to try and distract my mind from what's going on and get back on track here.

[thelaptop]

Aww man... that's heavy.  Sorry for your loss...

Hang in there okay?

[Shinji_Ikari_9th]

Thanks for your kind words laptop.

To try and help with things I've decided to dedicate this months beginner's contest entry to his memory.
Our task this month involves replicating poses from an image, and I'm using something that ties into one of the things that he had loved in life, riding motorcycles.

As I type this, I have version 1 rendering.

Got us a new hero this month.

Slay demons, you must.  Malicious Knives, I use.

Fun renders, you have.  =D

Knocked this out last night when I should have been trying to get some rest for work today.

Here's some of my latest renders. Enjoy.

[Shinji_Ikari_9th]

Just found a plugin for the program I use to make my renders that lets me do motion-blur effects while using the iray render engine. Here's the result of my first time using it.



P.S. The outfit is new as well, and I missed the poke-though on the holster strap. Live and learn.

Heyo!  Sorry for not replying to your previous posts -- had been rather busy lately.  I like the latest render, but I'm not sure if the motion blur works as well here.  Maybe have him run and gun and apply the motion blur to give it more dynamism as opposed to just the swinging of hands?

As always though, good work -- I always enjoy seeing the stuff you put out!  =)
