Great Render! :D

I have a question though, when you render Final Gathering, does your object lose its shaders? or can you use Final Gathering with a textured object?

lookin' really nice man.. :p

your render will still keep the textures when you render with final gathering, I just haven't done any textures for it yet

Not a lot of detail but maybe this pic will help...

GILSO SCHEMATICS

:beer:

thanks a lot

i'll use them a bit, but i'm not a big fan of star wars schematics as there aren't any made of the ships made in the movies

there are the oficial ones but they are different from the ones used in the movies, at least thats what i noticed

Hhhey... nice...

one question :banana:

those test renders.. how did U do them?
did U use fakeGI plugins or ambient lights? or some other way maybe?

have tryed to do renders like those... but NO! :D

The first ones were done with the default renderer, 1 ambient light and 1 ray-traced diectional light

this one and the last ones were done with mental ray using final gathering

the main difference between the last 2 is the asdded detail on the midsection and the top part the joins the mid section to the rear section has had some bits added

i'll do a close up of the mid section while i'm at work and post it when i get home

man i wish i could retire and i'm only 21

here is that other render i promised

i know that it is a bit difficult to see all the detail, but that it because of the final gathering quality

very nicely detailed! you have put in a lot of effort and it shows!

nice WIP

i took a bit of a break from doing this for a bit but i spent some time this weekend doing some textures for it

COOL!

This is inspiring!
I want to make a texture-focused-project sometime soon.

i've learned quite a lot of photoshop this weekend by doing this

Tolerate m8 get it in the gallery when you have a render your happy with :) http://www.simplymaya.com/cgi-bin/gallery_add.pl
