OFFICIAL BSG RENDERS RELEASED

[Fabio]

Hi guys and gals,

Mojo has asked me to mention that he has released a bunch of radiosity renders of ships from the BSG TV Show plus a short blog article on radiosity rendering in Lightwave.

You can find it here:

Radiosity lighting....is there anything in the Universe that takes longer to render? Is there a way to make it work a little faster....actually a lot faster?

[gmd3d]

LW 9.6 is supposed to be faster .. but most that use Radiosity find it a major hog of their PCs ... I almost never use it in rendering

I'd say volumetric lighting and light-emitting materials (at least in my software) run a close 2nd to radiosity but I'd have to agree that it's the longest.

You can kinda sorta fake radiosity with strategically placed lights to mimic the effect but it's not quite as good (but it does render a hell of a lot faster.)

You know, someone over at the DAZ forums did a TOS and a new version of the cylons. Was a free dowload too. You may have to check under "day the earth stood still or GORT. Haven't played with the modelyet though :P

Somebody should do a "glowy spine" texture for V4. Then we could build our very own Number Six.

you can find both the Orginal and New Series cylons at www.sharecg.com
