Galactica's Glory

gmd3d · April 24th, 2006, 01:13 AM

Here are a few BSG pictures I have posted in CF .. but I would like feed back from you

evil_genius_180 · April 24th, 2006, 11:39 AM

Awesome work, Taranis!! I love classic Galactica. I'm sure I'd love the new one, though, but I don't have cable so I don't have the sci-fi channel. You really did a great job at bringing the classic Galactica to life. That's probably how the old show would have looked if it had been done today.

Did you do the backgrounds yourself, or are they pre-made?

:cylon: :cylon: :cylon: :cylon:

gmd3d · April 24th, 2006, 12:05 PM

Thanks

the backgrounds are premade but the first and last had the backgrounds played around from me.. I am now making my own

evil_genius_180 · April 24th, 2006, 12:19 PM

Dude, that's a sweet job of blending models and lighting to a pre-made background. That's not so easy to do.

Well, I had a render cooking and then TrueSpace stopped responding and I had to end task and restart it. That doesn't happen a lot and it pisses me off when it does.

gmd3d · April 24th, 2006, 02:14 PM

Thanks again

I enjoyed setting these one up .. at present I am working on a Buck Rogers pic

Yes I remember that happen when I used TS ..it was a major pain

evil_genius_180 · April 24th, 2006, 02:31 PM

Usually it works fine for me, but every now and then I find myself cussing and spitting at it.

gmd3d · April 25th, 2006, 01:35 AM

I was Cussing and kicking my PC over the weekend . Have to buy a hammer kicking ruins the shoe leather ..

BTY I have some more BSG art over at Colonial Fleets so any other BSG i do will be posted there and not here as keeping with the designs of 3dgladiators and CF seperate as warrior disigned ..

BYW IF YOU NOT A MEMBER of CF you should as it celebrates the original BSG show. infact if im right its the very first site that I posted 3dart starting when I use Turespace

evil_genius_180 · April 25th, 2006, 09:54 AM

I could be wrong, but I think Warrior just doesn't want the BSG stuff in the galleries. As for the forums, it's all good, I think. After all, this site is called 3D Gladiators, not Non BSG 3D Gladiators.

Don't worry if that makes no sense. I just woke up a few minutes and my coffee is brewing and I'm not making much sense to myself right now.

gmd3d · April 25th, 2006, 10:32 AM

No he informed me that he wishes to have the BSG art over at CF and all other art here .. no point having the same stuff at both sites ..

Darrell Lawrence · April 25th, 2006, 11:00 AM

T is correct. I prefer not to be running two sites with the same content

Kinda redundant for an owner

Darrell Lawrence · April 25th, 2006, 11:01 AM

Links to art threads over there, however, is cool

evil_genius_180 · April 25th, 2006, 12:04 PM

I see. Well, once I get a couple more mods from CF I'll start an art thread over there and do a link over here

I just hope I'm up to the task of creating some worthy BSG pics :cylon:

gmd3d · April 25th, 2006, 02:08 PM

Looking forward to seeing them there .. Look out for Stevew BSG meshes .. lots of detals

evil_genius_180 · April 25th, 2006, 07:06 PM

I have Steve's Galactica in its original tS format and it takes a chunk out of my PC's memory to even render it by itself without any anti-aliasing. I might have to save that one for when I finally get a little ahead and manage to get a new computer.

gmd3d · April 26th, 2006, 01:11 AM

I had the some problem ..

that one of the reasons I switched to LW .. rendering times are much faster .. how much RAM do you have..

evil_genius_180 · April 26th, 2006, 01:18 AM

Not enough

evil_genius_180 · April 26th, 2006, 01:20 AM

Actually, it's not the render times that are an issue. I don't mind sitting through a long render. But, when I have a large model in a scene, just setting up the scene is a pain in the ass because my computer is old and responds sluggishly.

gmd3d · April 26th, 2006, 01:34 AM

I had to increse my Ram . it was just not enough .. but I am now looking for a PC upgrade with more go in it

May 22nd, 2006, 08:27 AM

Any more where that came from. Good Job!

evil_genius_180 · May 22nd, 2006, 05:23 PM

Actually, Galactica matters are supposed to be handled at this site's sister site, www.colonialfleets.com Taranis posts over there too.

So, he might have some more over there and maybe we can get him to throw up a link.

gmd3d · May 23rd, 2006, 02:15 AM

Thanks Tanker

I appreciate your comments.

I haven't done any BSG pictures in a while

but there's is more over at CF. I will look for the links but these are my best
for BSG imo ..

But if you want to search yourself look under Taranis or potemkin as I was once known

.. but I have more Trek art work than BSG

gmd3d · May 25th, 2006, 07:21 AM

That's a really look like art render, man. I love Galactica 2004, but classic comes back on my memory cause of your work, and i like it.
