Battlestar GALACTICA picture TOS

gmd3d · August 13th, 2005, 01:16 PM

I complete this one today .. It could be the Fleet going to meet the Cylons and DOOM!!!

gmd3d · August 13th, 2005, 01:21 PM

I am not happy with the Name FONT but I have no time to correct now .. I just wanted you to see the picture and I hope you all like it .. I think it presentable

gmd3d · August 13th, 2005, 03:35 PM

The Revised logo any better,

Taranis i would have to say that this is a really good render . . .
and you say your kind of new with LW . . ? Just one crit tho'
increase the glow on the engines of the Battlestars, but lower the intensity, and lower the intensity of the vipers engine glow as well. They just seem to be too different, if anything the engine power from the BattleStarts should be more intense than the vipers . . .
Other than that the image rocks . . .

Thanks Sentee, I will, It the most time consuming part is tweeking the setting like the glows levels

I will work on it

gmd3d · August 14th, 2005, 11:56 AM

Same pic with a little rearangements of the models .. I will need to work on the lighting still but I had to post and show you ..

That is great Taranis............We need to put that at laurette's

gpdesigner · August 14th, 2005, 12:48 PM

That render looks better . . . definately a different feel to it, you'll see the more you experiment you will start to into account the lighting the camera angles and the effects . . . plus lighting, lighting plays a huge role in rendering.

Thanks again .. I was looking at your site again wow some work there..... ever thought about doing the TOS shuttle Craft .. The One by Hgibben is ok But I would
like to get one with abit more detail and closer to the model its self......

gpdesigner · August 14th, 2005, 01:15 PM

yep anything is possible, I just need to get on the other side of this battlestar and I can work on it . . . I haven't touched that Viper I was working on in a few weeks now, guess I should do something with that soon . . . ha ha ha . . lots of projects not enough time

gmd3d · August 14th, 2005, 01:22 PM

Oh I know..

I have found I have not talent at the model making as I am unable to givt it the Time .. I must depend on craft people like yourself for the models

On my wish list is the shuttle and the USS Enterprise from the TOS .. FABIOS is great but I would like to get in closer.. I like Jason lees Constitution in Sci-fi.com list but is a MAX and i CANNOT use it..

I'd retitle it to "the battle of Molocay" (spelling?)

I agree with santee on the engine lighting.

I like the arangement of theships in both pics.

gmd3d · August 15th, 2005, 03:39 PM

I will be working on more Galactica pic (both show) when I return from my wedding in September

...And the lighting is the one area that going to be given more time..

Great image quality increases per render. You get better with each render.

neilfsmith · August 18th, 2005, 06:41 PM

You may want to try to give a blur to some of the ships that appear further away. This will help to achieve a more realistic "depth of field" look. Great composition, but I'd like to see the largest ship even more larger. This will give the compsitiona bit more punch I think. Just some ideas.

The 14th Colony · August 18th, 2005, 09:06 PM

Excellent renders Taranis, awesome actually. Way cool and very intense.

I gave it a rating of 10 on that voting scale thing on that page.

I will do that . Thanks .. luckly I have saved the scene for such things.. and welcome to the fleet Neilfsmith

and thanks for the vote 14th I have a few new ideas for future pictures ... going to heat up to a few combat shots ..

I was thinking about what type of formations a fleet of large warships might travel in, and thought that they might travel in formations similar to WWII bombers. That way they'd be able to provide coverfire for other ships in the formation and eliminate any blind spots.

Just a thought...
