Feeling the Force (*Update on Page 2*)

Have you anything else to say/sell? :-?
It’s friendly nottice for the future ;).

Those last pics just made me wanna say ONE thing:

“Pssiiiieeeeeee-uuuuuuuuuuuuww”

AHHHG bugger that! the UberFan himself has forgotten! I meant Dreadnaughts (Katana Fleet, i think), those were around during the clone wars. And anyways, the SDs should be either victories or the wierd prequel thingies, but i think vicStars are better! And you can’t really tell if the SDs are Imp I’s or II’s, I’m assuming they’re II’s because they rock, and I’s were lame (they go so slow). Also, the bulk of the Imperial NAvy was Imp II’s. Anyways, heres some stuff of Victory-class Star Destroyers… and Dreagnaughts (from BlenderWars)

Keep it up!

Oh, I think the core of a laser is a slightly lighter version of the laser glow.
But don’t do that on the lightsabers!!! Maybe make the lightsaber thicker.

theonesoldier: I hate to be argumentitive, but there are Victory Star Destroyers in Episode 2 at the end, I’m pretty sure (Keep in mind it has been a while since I last saw Episode II). But Victory-class are war cooler than the wierd things in Episode 3. Anyways, enough Star Wars fan blather. The image is great, although I’d like a new version with VSDs or Trade Federation battleships… or both fighting it out…

Blend on, and blend well!!!

Don’t know why I missed this one first time round, but oh well. Better late than never, eh bud? :wink:

You have fixed most of the problems that other have pointed out previously, which is good.

The thing that really seems to be lacking for me in this scene is the lighting. It just seems very flat over all and not very dynamic for a fighting scene such as this. Did you use any GI or AO at all? I truly think that it would help out a out for this render.

Good luck with the interview!

Really improved…

two things:

-Lightning. Try some 3 point setup… there is no key light visible, no rim/back light to separate the jedi from the background… a better light setup will really improve this great scene…

-Tip of the laserswords/ the blade itself. The way the tips look now makes the blade look flat, like 2d instead of 3D… and it don´t look like fast movement… you should try a more motionblur-like look… a smaller “spread” on the blade and a visible blur behind it´s movement path.

Looks a lot better but still needs some work. The saber and blaster bolts would be casting much more light than they are now. The floor’s a little too dark, it feels weird. It looks like it’s reflecting and not getting any shadows. The blaster bolts shouldn’t have sharp, clearly defined edges. Give them a little glow like the saber and make them taper on the ends.

I don’t think the expression on her face looks right. I don’t know what it looks exactly but not Jedi serene calm or whatever. Also, she looks sort of like an older woman who has dyed her hair, I think that might be because of how prominent her cheekbone is.

Remember, you must. Anger to the dark side leads.

Nice blending, man. Have you shared this at the ‘blenderwars’ site?
