BSG - Caprica Fallen
2 Attachment(s)
The scene from the pilot episode of "Battlestar Galactica" where Commander Adama has ordered the Galactica back to Caprica. (Both he and Apollo will be flying to the surface momentarily.)
Created in 3D Studio Max 3.1 with post-work in Photoshop 5.5 and Painter 5.5. Battlestar mesh by David Kerin; Cylons screen-captured from "Saga of a Star World" episode. I wanted to create an image which summarizes the first act of the original "Battlestar Galactica" pilot. The picture is intended to be somber... something basic and introductory for non-fans. No major space battles. No small spacecraft zipping around in endless dogfights. (I'll get back to that eventually. ;) ) If anyone has recommendations on 3D asteroid creation within Lightwave or 3D Studio Max, let me know, please? (Whether tutorials or objects which I can download.) The few tutorials I've found have been rather lacking. Michael :colwar: BP Gallery links removed..no longer exists. See attachments for pics.

Superb! Now I have a few hundred of these objects to create. :)
Thanks, Darrell! Michael :colwar: |

in LW, depending on what version you're using, you can do asteroids using hypervoxels which is how i did this (although they actually look like space buggers to me :p), i can write up a tutorial if ya want :) |

if i can find the scene file on my cluttered hard drive, i'll see what i can do :) |
Thanks again, Darrell. Here's my first attempt, using your tutorial for MAX. When I find my Lightwave 5.6 dongle (in one of my boxes around here), I'll try Fabio's and Arrghman's tutorials, too.

Nice pic Michael!

Since when do you use MAX Darrell? I thought you were a die hard Lightwaver? :D |

yeah, my method will only work with 6.0 and up... but with 5.6 there may be a way to safe some time using particle storm and object replacement... i dont know how to do it, but it might be worth looking up... |
Wonderful pic Michael
Like i said you have the knack for making images that's for sure, and dramatic ones. Take it from me asteriods are a pain in the ass to make really. Trying to get them just right is not fun. Just ask Richard! :D |

I chuckled for about a half an hour after I posted that. :D |

If the need is there - I can also show people how to make asteroids like these..... http://www.meshweaver.com/Temp/asteroid/asteroid11.jpg http://www.meshweaver.com/Temp/asteroid/asteroid3.jpg http://www.meshweaver.com/Temp/asteroid/asteroid9.jpg using JUST procedurals in lightwave ;) |

Bring it on, Fabio! :p Michael |
Heh, I can theorize how you made those, Fabio, but I'm not sure I could do them myself... nice.
|
These images still in existance?
|
There seems to be a problem with the link to the image.
