Thnx, I'll keep that in mind for the low-rez version.

Imported poly models? I don't follow... I tried to curve out the sides really well (not my strong point) and i tried a little too hard and it got very patchy around the edges. I've labeled some other high-patch areas in the pic attached. I don't think it's a patch problem though. i took off the reflectivity and bump maps and it works much better now. But still, if you're interested, here's the pic.

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna buy another hard drive to hang off the back of my computer and get another 200 GB. I have indeed rendered 6,000 patches before, it's actually pretty fast for my computer. My highest render of one model was about 20,000 patches and it took 20 seconds. Must be the maps. I'm gonna take off the bump since you can't really tell it's on. And then I'll take off the reflectivity for non-closeups. Thanks again!

Thanks guys! I'm going to be starting my Droid Control Ship soon! Then everything will be ready for the big battle scene in the first episode.

I had tons of extra time tonight so I decided to finish up my Droid Starfighter, which is to be used int he first action scene from Clone Commander. I used Color, Bump and Reflectivity maps, but I had to use progressive render b/c for some reason, it freezes when I do normal render. Critique is welcome, although we won't be getting this close to it in the finished film.

I just started the Droid Starfighter, but when I try to render it, it freezes at 45%. It gets to 100% in progressive, though. It has a color, bump, and reflectivity map. Might that have anything to do with it? It's only 6000 patches, too. EDIT: Here's the progressive so far, though. Hope you likey.

Thanks. I've been experimenting witht hat and it doesn't make it stick out so much. I might go with you.

Looks good so far! Keep going. What is the comic about? I've never seen it...

thnx guys, i love having a forum to check for answers

Can anyone tell me how to adjust glow intensity? It's really messing up this set.

I, too, am weak when it comes to characters. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Me likey.

ya it doesn't work

Pzu is looking grt!

looks pretty good. i've never tried doing something rolling up, but now that i think about it, it sounds like quite a challenge. good work!

Pretty good so far! I won't say anything about the modelling until you finish it! Keep it up!

Everything looks great so far! I can't wait to see more!

It looks great so far! Keep it up!

That an amazing light! Grt work!

Great work. It looks like it'll be a really cool effect.

I like it, but I personally saw that head on a shorter guy when I looked at the first pic. He's really gangly. Good work though!

Looking good so far. Never give up!

I love that Chihuahua

good job so far! keep it up!
