I think I'm getting a hang of it now. I mean with the lighting. I can do a lot more than just throw the Skylight in there. Im also doing alot of editing of models to make them look a little nicer. I almost figured out how to work the skeletons.

Anyway Im really proud of this one. Hence me making a whole new thread for it haha.

Looks alot better than your others. Kinda justifies 3D max over model viewer. Since you can basically do everything in Photoshop that I've seen. Haha.

holy shit thats nice.. the ONLY part that buggs me is down my the feet, it looks like the character is inflated and his ankles are outa air... looks like its deflating rather than bending

O_O

I have my new Desktop BG, {Thank you.} {Long time}

Talisin is famous.

This one is a little more artsy. So here it is, note the blade is metal and now relects the sky.

Although realisticly speakin, the blade render looks good, and would reflect something like that, but since it's an artsy picture, you should make it white with a slight metalic gleam against the dark colors behind it, it would look a little cooler

some stars in the sky would look nice too

only criticism is that the blade doesnt look good. It doesnt look right being blue. Vivi is right with what he said. Another idea that would be cool is to have the blade reflect ANOTHER wyrm in the background coming towards the sam

have the blade reflect an onion head approaching quickly

The blade probably looks off because the light source is supposed to be the moon behind him, and the blade is reflecting in the wrong direction.

Things Im trying to get working


Different dragon reflection off the blade.
Moon as a light source (shadows reflecting from the direction of the moon)
Atmospheric tinting, so that the colours of the enviroment tint the models.

I have one rendering now, although because of the shape of the blade, the relfection is going to be streched and stuff. This render is probably going to take until I finish work. Bleh (like 11:00PM EST)

I like how you did the reflection on the second one

too bad the reflection is right.... unless your saying that there is another dragon behind tal

Edit: might look better if you add that mirror material to the day time picture

Would be pretty cool if you could have Tal's back with his sword after like, Tachi: Gekko or something, with his back to the dead dragon and shit. Where you can't see the full dragon, just the corpse reflected in the sword.

if that pic had a elvaan sam, it would look better, they have better gekko stances

alot better. just fix the sam's right ankle =X

_________________

see, if you ask me, that looks hella better... but still. its just not natural for a reflection to be like that unless the dragon is behind the character... unless the sword is made of glass.

and fix the deflating foot

Think thats the idea.




Should import some ground and enviroment stuff from a terrain generator.
