I'm trying to get better with my VFX. Here is the Morpheus firing on a Lucian Alliance Ha'tak, the salvo fire has stopped mid scene and continuous fire began with the depletion of the Ha'tak's shield.

its quite bid, have you clicked it?

lmao!

[Saquist]

No, sir, before there was no spoiler tag on it.
It was simply a thumb nail and I clicked on it and it pulled up another window which said, "could not find" or something.

We're role-playing as our user ranks now? *Is Major General Katalina Hamenthotep*

I should do more of my ship.. but real life keeps getting in the way..

Another scene for you guys. Better hypervoxels, Alx I added more velocity to the explosions. Here is the Phoebe Gunship and Typhon are attacking two Lucian Alliance Ha'taks.

BOB, a few problems:

Fakeness. it looks fake, and though i think you did a hellofajob, the main reason is simple: the ships have no "material". they look like they're made of clay.

the ha'tak lights look a bit odd.

the smoke is good.

the explosions seem to lack intensity

not burning down your render, just trying to simply point out the problems.


definate increase of quality

progress on the Earth Vessel Athena

Spoiler:

I know it's too late to say, but the more detail you add to this...
the more I don't like the head of the ship with the Prometheus like ledge jutting out.

Dear, Merlin

I just want to say that this is one of the truly unique ships on the thread but that ledge makes it look like a dinosaur and derivative of Prometheus. I know the Prometheus is a good design but all roads don't start and stop there. Every part of this ship is unique except for that one piece. Yes, it is a bit of a homage but your talents are readily apparent to everyone including me. You don't need tribute Prometheus here.

I've already made drawings with this head to see what it looks like without it and they are bland. It revealed to me that the head is somewhat blank in shape without it, very square from the plan view, especially the rear part of the head. This a stark contrast to the shapes you chose for the rest of the ship.

This ship has a strong identity and a design that well reflects it's designer.
I truely believe some thing different and complementary can be done at the nose of this to complete what I see as Motion Picture Worthy Design.

(feel free to circular file this opinion)

It might have been the browser again.
I'am following the rank but I haven't found the USB drive with the original .xcf file that I can modify it appropriately, Then again I've been very busy, and I haven't been looking either.

I think 1,000 post is Captain, so I'm definitely doing it then.
Truthfully I"ve always liked Lt. Commander Saquist over Captain Saquist but no Commanders in the Airforce.

The reason they look that way is because I had the ambient light turned on. It will give that plane flat look, when I turned it off the Typhons disappeared and the Phoebe stood out more. I'm on my blackberry now so ill have to post them when I get back to my computer.

[thekillman]

maybe because there is not other light aside from ambient?
