3D Sky station thingy

[kiwi]

C4D and PS using multi passes


Around 400,000 polys on a 15 inch monitor,hence making good use of PS


Its still very WIP.

Hiya Stu, howzitgoin'?

I'd say that the syncro-mesh on the third gear was about to pop its clogs.

I like that grungy texture on the left hand spiral cylinder column.
Is it a hand knitted bitmap job or an SLA procedural?

Auld Napalm Breath looks as if he is straining at the leash, desperate for take off. Better get him finished soon before he explodes.

Cheers, Al.

Nah I keep it well greased bud

Its a combination AL of good specular,diffusion map and the right key light to get that effect....normal shader I made..

I just set up my new puter last night {waiting for an update though},I went from a 15 monitor,to a 19 inch NEC LCD,and a 400mhz - to dual 2ghz,plus a 9800 Pro from a Rage 128,so I am doing a lot of oooh and ahing at the moment


Now I will be able to stay online as well for a change ...old modem was also dieing.

nice gears there Stu... holy frig but that's quite the contraption... wouldn't want to walk by it when the operators in a cranky mood

cool specs on the new rig... man that's going to be some fun to work with Lucky dog you

Here I thought I was doing good just getting me a GForce 2 card... haha.... card works ok, speed is good, but the color just isn't the same as my ole ATI card.... good on you with a 9800

ttys

Well, I am happy you decided to start up the "new" puter after all. Life goes on, and we don't live on a cozmick time-scale, do we?

I remember way back when you started that dragon. Man, you put up a hell of a fight, but the result is astonishing.
I also like the contrast from fantasy to sci-fi.
While the dragon is to be textured and evt made poseable, the scifi-scene is part of a story already. More the real core scifi stuff, style Van Vogt and Asimov than the likes of Zelazny of Vance. Just to name some of the elders.

Good work and great to hear you will be able to join the Web more easily.
As for the fatigue: all ol'Saturn wants you to do is to give form to the deepest depths of your imagination. The fatigue is part of that. The Alchymists associated lead with that force.

Thanks Erik ,that Dragon has been a journey and a half,ff and on thats probably prototype 20 something like that.I kept on over reaching my skills in the beginning,then I out grew my rig and that held me back for a while.It has no horn under the jaw now,and the ear horn is going to be tweaked as t will be easir to do now.

Good work and great to hear you will be able to join the Web more easily.


Ya 10 repeat attempts to get online each morning {sometimes more} got very tedious indeed,am finding I type even quicker now as I still think I am going to get chucked hahaha

Ok well Saturn is in line for a smack in the mouth then ......
