that is sad garry, that you might not finish. i like the mirror effect on the legs, maybe you get a render in 1024x768 done, and just declare what you have "finished" tomorrow user added image

FinalRender-Undseth

Pheu!
Tried to do some pro compostiting inCombustion but the green-screen/keying out colors are a bit new to me to fully trust it at this time.

So I had to render the pic in portions in the render view and simply overlay the parts in photoshop (luckily you cannot tell it is a composite).

I forgot to model the tracks in the snow so they were painted on.

My machine crached when doing a full render, and went into a coma the other time I tried to render all objects at the same time.

edit:
It was an unsurpassed pleasure to make the posturing of this diorama. It is a bit surreal as a diorama I think, with the intense sunlight. The scene was arranged to achieve some "visual balance" and I'm quite happy with it. Got a dive into texturing, although I have mostly based it on planar mapping and seperating poly-surfaces, where appropriate (for planar texturing).

This was mosly a nurbs project, and I learned something new; where I earlier had "scratch built" most nurbs objects by curves, I now used a lot of nurbs primitives and/or copying other nurbs-objects and tweaking them.

I want to halt my x-wing project for this time and go modeling a helicopter (bought a tiny plastic kit yesterday (Desert Hawk)).

(bulletproof dont get me wrong, it is an awesome model, but it is a bit too insect like and not enough mecha like imho)

Thank you, thats nice of you BabyDuck! Well, I was a bit late but I'll be on the look for some more info.

I couldn't help pondering about this user added image

, it is but a contribution, all though it would be nice to be concidered.

So I am sorry about this but it was a simple mistake, I only realised after i had made the post.

But even through I have made the mistake I would have still picked the wasp as it is a very unique design and the colours really catch the eye. And just so you know it isnt just me who picks the winners, I just announced it

Saying that the design above is also fantastic and really well put together. A lot of detail has gone into it aswell.

So I apologise for the error and hope I never have a pc prob again.
