perhaps you should show them the light... so to speak. lol

[The Retro]

Wow... after taking my retro into v13 and rendering with AO, what had normaly taken four and a half hours... it rendered in 12 minutes

[The Retro]

No more handels. it's the best way to deal with a problem... rub it out. MUHAHAHA!!!

[Bender]

It mightn't be a dead cert, but there's hope:

YAYNESS!!! i loved that show, and was so angry when fox took it off the air. YAY!!

 

Dan, no what I meant was, make a texture map of the detail that you wanted as lines.

then apply that, with appropriate alpha so that it looks like the detail on the surface.

Ah, i see what you mean now... well in that case... i'll probably just make the door a real entity.

[Old Man Character]

Your guy has an amazing sense of balance, or a very low center of gravity. Anyway, what i'm trying to say is when one walks up a hill or a % grade their body is strait up. Your guy looks sort of wierd walking perpendicular to the dirt. still looks pretty good.

[Newton Physics]

Here's one i did with some bricks. I love how the new Newton Physics doesnt allow geometry to go through eachother like the last one.

Why does it have to be a bump map?

Why not just black lines. You'd definately get away with it in toon mode.

Well... i dont think that works. When you render only lines you dont get any of the color map data. Maybe i should just make him toon shaded. AO works great for that. I should probably make a black shape to go behind his eyes though, and change those bump maps into color maps.

 

He looks great. His body seems abit long compared to his legs IMO. Did you know they're going to start making Futurama again! Whoohoo!

REALY!! i'll have to find an article about that... or maybe you can send one my way.

[GAIL: The City [slight nudity]]

are you using AO to light her?

[The Retro]

I'll just bet that Sedan Delivery has an interior! Wonder what the insides of a Retro look like?

you keep on trying to add many many hours to my retro building arent you. Well, i dont even know what the inside looks like, as the designer has not even made any drawings of it at all. Probably the hardest part would be the dash.

[Bender]

From the sounds of it... you've never seen the show. WAIT A MINUTE!! You've never seen Futurama!? it was made by the same guy who did The Simpsons. you should realy check it out.

 

does anyone know how to get bump maps to appear in tune mode?

[The Retro]

that chipset thing is exactly what we were looking for. in fact... he's been asking for them for quite some time. I guess i should just go with it now.

 

[Bender]

Hey guys. I had some free time so i made bender. Took about an hour to model and render. Let me know what you guys think

 

[The first of many]

very nice model. The key ring is what sells it, but that front bulb sort of brings it down.

[The Retro]

Hm... i think i may go with that. NO HANDLES!! lol. The designer had wanted a no handels look. Keyless, open remote, and easier than heck for me to make. lol sorry oakchas... those are some pretty neat looking door handels though.

[The Retro]

i dont know... those look kinda gawdy... and would take a real long time to make

[Earth with Hi-Res textures]

are you updating those zip files with the images in them?

[Flood final]

Very awesome render. My only problem is that your very nice looking rocks have no weight to them. I think they would just push the dam out of the way, not realy fly into the air. Cool water, and i love the effect.

[The Retro]

lol... this is getting scary oakchas. Do you know the designer by any chance? everything you've suggested he has aswell. freaky

 

well, here's the door handels we're going with. He had suggested the new mustang touch pad handels, but i think this looks much better.

[The Retro]

I don't know about making an inside. That seems like it would take almost as long as the outside did. I keep thinking about door handles. Anyone got any good suggestions or ideas on what kind i should use? The ones i have now are sort of plain.

[The Retro]

Here's the new retro. The doors are now elongated, and the car sides and door are bowed out to match the curve of the car.

[Act 1 - Sequence 4 - Modelling]

nice models guys

[Oz Map -- Another v13 Displacement Fun Thread]

I guess i was just thinking out loud, Yves. Sorry for taking over your thread Zaryin.

[Oz Map -- Another v13 Displacement Fun Thread]

So there's no way, currantly, that allows the ambience color of an object to function with pigment subtraction without AO? Anyways, i cant seem to get a good noiseless render with AO+displacement, so i'll just stay with the abience map with only the skycolor chanels illuminated. It works pretty good.

 

Render Times (VGA):

with ambient occlusion 2:42

with ambience map, no AO 1:32

[Oz Map -- Another v13 Displacement Fun Thread]

That is true if you set an explicit surface ambiance color on the object or on a group but not true if you set the ambiance color in the Choreography "Global Ambiance" color. This global ambiance color acts like a light and thus will add its color to whatever diffuse color is there. Not override it.

where's this setting? If you're talking about the abmient occlusion settings i kinda don't want to use it, because an ambience map is much faster to render. Was there another global ambiance color that you're talking about?

[Oz Map -- Another v13 Displacement Fun Thread]

Hm... quite a bit of work you've done, but i already have this map, and so much more, though it doesnt have the underwater topography data. The full picture is 8192x4096 pixels. This is just a sample of central america.
