Newbee ART. Taranis

[gmd3d]

Hello modelers and artist of 3D Gladiators. My handle is Taranis and I am a member
of Colonial Fleets and a member here formerly known as potemkin. But I never posted anything. Recently I was able to buy LIGHTWAVE 8 and am still getting use to it abilitys. With help from Warrior and Titon :thumbup: .

I have a number of renders posted there and decided to post them here. Some of you will see you own hard work and fantastic models. I hope I have done then some justice. From Star Trek Star Wars and of course BSG.

















I hope I have all the model makers name in these pic's if not please let me know and to the model makers Thanks of your hard work. You can find the BSG pic's in Fleets.

Nice pics, Taranis. I particularly like the Star Wars ones myself.

[gmd3d]

Thanks General Phoenix, Thay are the latest ones . all I need know is models in LW of Han and Chewie to add the The Falcon Cockpit and I am a happy camper.. I have yet to understand the rigging controls yet.

[General Phoenix]

Feel free to upload these to the Gallery, too.

I have some old pics from the 3DG archives I need to put up there myself...

[Titon]

Looks good sir!

Keep it up!

[gmd3d]

I will do that.. I am still studying the video lessions before I start building my first mesh.. The ship in the LENSMEN cartoon. But I need to down load some more lessions from KURV studios.

[Titon]

Taranis modeling is my passion. I prefer that to texturing and animating by leaps and bounds.

Someday i may actually put it all together.

[gmd3d]

I have yet to go anywhere near the Texturing and animation. But I would like to learn how to add character to Sean's Falcon cockpit model

[skyhawk223]

Ahh yes, texturing and animation. Good luck!
I like the 1701 shot myself. Nice scene.

[gmd3d]

[gmd3d]

[gmd3d]

Thanks Crusader. I have yet so much to learn . the problem is finding the time. I hope to have a few mor pic in a week of so.

[Darrell Lawrence]

Leaps and bounds, m'man.

The switch from tS to LW did you good I think

[gmd3d]

High Praise Warrior thanks. I am looking to do some Star Wars pictures this week
next week BSG.

[gmd3d]

Hay thanks jamacove I apprecate that

[gmd3d]

I will have a few more coming soon..

[shugotenshi]

Keep them coming.

Great artwork. If you think of yourself as a newbie, then I have no chance of ever getting anything as good. Keep up the good work( and make the rest of us feel like a left-handed money banging on a rock).

Nice imaging, did you do any post work?

I think that the interior of the dock is awesome and the ships are incredible! Its nice to see the ships outside of a space setting, GREAT WORK!

Mike

The Star Destroyer looks awesome!

Hey "T" I see you found this place.
BTW congrats on the wedding

Its a funny thing finding old artwork .. and looking back to where I started ..

When I first started to use Lightwave I could hardly model a box.. and that comes ready made

the thing about these are the great models and ok lighting from me .. and it just ok .. not great ..

some of the images at the start of this thread I have just added to the Gallery
after a delay of er a few years .. since June 1st, 2005. nearly 4 years ..

The lighting and ship detail were impressive to me.

[gmd3d]

thanks it been fun looking back

[evil_genius_180]

And this thread came in handy. The image of the Enterprise in Spacedock with all the little utility vehicles and Miranda-class helped me fix your thumbnail problem in the gallery. I love that image, BTW, it has a great STIII through STVI feel to it.

[gmd3d]

thank .. i really want to start doing some trek images for a while
