the HDRI setup deffo makes it look alot nicer than the standard render you did, this going to be used in an animation in a later project? really nice and clean model.Originally posted by Minstrel
And another angle...
completely agree with you, so simple to do a HDRI setup as wellOriginally posted by Minstrel
thank you for the comments Cung. You are absolutely right about the rendering. Mental Ray, and HDRI particularly, really do a good job in bringing out the best of a model. Any new Maya users should really make a point in learning the basics of it, 'cause the results are amazing.
My original intent was to do an animation with both this model and the spitfire tutorial model...something about a futuristic airplane going back in time and shooting down the spitfire. I am just not spending enough time with maya right now, so my focus (or little focus) is to finish the Eurofighter model. Too much World of Warcraft...
Cheers!
