Absolutely amazing!
Not bad but not good as well. If the primarily goal was the realism, there is a lot of things which could be improved. Especially texturing and lighting. Everything looks very flat. Overall, it lacks depth. Postproduction (if there was) is not very noticeable. If the primarily goal was to create a stylized semi-realistic work, it would be necessary to dramatically improve the lighting and shading. You can see a lot of work on modeling but these renders are looking unfinished.
Excellent work. But why V-Ray? Why not LuxRender / Yafaray or one of the other open-source renderers?
I love it! absolutely stunning images. 5 stars from me
Because they are not as good as Vray?
Luxrender is out of the question unless you want to render for a year and Yafaray just lacks some really useful features that Vray have.
Vray is very well integrated with Blender now and it is the render engine that is used the most in real productions so knowing it is an advantage in the industry.
Also if you have it, why not use it?
@Maddox61: Thanks. I’m working on a 4gig system at the moment ith just a Geforce9800 graphics card. This scene pretty much maxed it out though.
@leonnn: The textures are mainly lots of photo textures from CGTextures.com hacked and mangled and layered up to create the materials I needed. For the most part they were painted in GIMP, with a few that were done with blenders texture paint for unique parts with difficult seams etc. There’s about 4GB of texture files I created in total - for which reason I probably won’t release the blend, though maybe I could release just the model at some point.
@sundailsvc4: Some good points design wise about the damage. Mainly I just was having a lot of fun blasting stuff to pieces and modelling all that damage, realistic or not.
@bigpilot: Just because I bought vray for a work project and I really like it. It’s got a good exporter now thanks to all of Andreys work, and it’s a very fast GI renderer.
Thanks for all the nice comments!
Great attention to details… great work
Thanks, I wanted to see the textures, hehe 4gb its a lot, aniway what I wanted was to anilise your techinique on texturing, thanks for the reply.
extremely awesome! very nice texturing!
hi ben …great work, what version of vray you use?!
Ben,
You’re just awesome.
