Star Wars (Pick Up)

[gmd3d]

Thanks Xaa for your kind words .. this kind of feed back is good for the artistic side ..

The image is cool.
I like the added use of atmospherics. That's something that it often over looked in an image (or animation).

Fantastic image, love the use of rain In my head I always associate the Falcon with sun and desert or open space so to see it in such a different setting really gives me a sense of being elsewhere to the films.

Really nice job

[evil_genius_180]

That's 'cause the Falcon never landed on Kamino in the movies.

[gmd3d]

thanks again .. this image is what I love to aim for .... and starwars designs are great for placing into any setting .. .While I love space images .. surface can be more fun ..

I like to place the falcon in a jungle setting .. rain forest .. dark .. with a small opening where the falcon ripped through the canopy where light is filtering through. the small landing lights arrayed around the falcon.. damp undergrowth ..
at the foot of the land ramp Han sitting . at its end .. waiting for ??

well what ever ..
this is one I will be doing some time once I can get a decent PC

[Darrell Lawrence]

Sound like you want him to go find Luke and Yoda

[gmd3d]

:laugh::laugh: .yeah .. I would have like to have seen the falcon travel to see yoda ..

[evil_genius_180]

I'd like to see it on that planet they show very briefly during the "Order 66" scene in ROTS. The one with all the colorful foliage where the hot Twi'lek Jedi gets killed. Actually, I'd just like to see more of that planet, that was way too short a shot of it for my taste.

Awesome work Taranis

For eg180: I´m just testing a scene from episode VI ( battle over endor ) - but it takes time, ´cause for the next weeks the European Soccer Championship in Switzerland and Austria is more important for me :laugh:

I´ve rendered just a first test-image to see how the laserbeams work. ( I´ve to change the Planet, correct the illumination, work on the post-effects and... and... and... )

But the thumbnail will give a first impression what will happen in the final scene...

Hope you like "Return of the Jedi" as much as "A new Hope"

[ulimann644]

There is one more scene I´ll finish soon - It´s the Imperial Task-Force from episode V

I dither about to turn the camera-angle 180 degrees and use a 3D-planet in front of the scene and maybe a few 3D-moons...

[evil_genius_180]

Empire is still the best.

If you're using other peoples' models on that image, you need to credit them.

[gmd3d]

Nice work and like were you going with it ... and EG180 is right about credits esp if they are yours even in a WIP stage.

(Sometimes in my haste I forget myself)

[Darrell Lawrence]

Be a great idea to start your own thread too, so people can comment directly on your images

[gmd3d]

Should have said so myself ..

OOPS - A quickshot-mistake - Such was not my intention; I´ve posted unfortunataly two Thumbnails from a wrong folder - big sorry

I´m on the way to correct it...

Thanks for remind me about that. Next time I´ll do so - Sometimes I´ve got a brain-buffer-overflow and don´t think about the easiest things...

[gmd3d]

we all make errors . but you have fixed them,
But I noted you never added your own name/or user name .... its your art mate .. credit yourself too

your the Force behind the pic.. no pun intended.(or is there??)

[ulimann644]

On final-pics I do so ( see gallery ). When I post only Thumbnails, sometimes i forget it - otherwise my ego is not so great that I´m worry about that ( by thumbnails )

[gmd3d]

cool mate .. sometimes I do it myself .. and I need reminding ... sometimes I have the brain-buffer-overflow problem myself

[evil_genius_180]

See, that's why I just make everything myself. Then I only have to credit myself.

Of course, I also use the worst 3D program in the universe when it comes to importing meshes, but that's entirely beside the point.

"uli-mann is here - the force is with him..." Darth Vader to Grand Moff Tarkin in Episode IV

You´re absolutly right with it. I´ll try to not forget it too often in the future...

.. Have to say I like the Greg Martin picture .. I tried one of his online photoshop tuts last year for space shots . result was ok .. I use "Universe" for my space images when I do them
that is/..

[evil_genius_180]

I have Universe but haven't used it in a long time, not even for starfields. I like to do my space backgrounds in Gimp but my results are nowhere near as good as Greg Martin's. That dude is just crazy with the space scenes.

I really like this one. The lighting, colors and rain effects....it all fits to make one great image.
Great work.

[gmd3d]

Thanks Jenneh ... I am delighted with the response its received so far..

Great work on the render! The afterwork looks fab!

I like the starwars of ships.

[gmd3d]

they look like they work .. and real and functional.

Oh and welcome aboard

cool image, i love star wars

That's really impressive. Nice job Taranis
