Render Gallery Submission Thread (Updated 8-13) 56k warning

Nice render benman! The only problems I see are the muzzle flashes and the bullets (they are bullets, right?). The flashes just look like orange clouds, I don't know if they are like this in HALO or not, but they should look more "pointed" so to speak and should not be going back past the muzzle. Also the bullets do not appear to be aligned with the barrel. Two minor things about the pose: On the left (top) gun the trigger guard seems to be going through his finger (ouch) and on the bottom one, his trigger finger appears to be off the trigger (if HALO guns had triggers) as in not firing.

Hey Veegie how come you have renders in your gallery that cannot event compare to this one but you won't put this one in?

I'll think about making a sticky'd topic just for showing off renders, good or otherwise so that people can pose there instead of here.

I suggested that a long time ago, since people were constantly submitting underpar work here, and if everyone made a new thread, it would flood the board. We should have a thread for posting and feedback on renders.

I think that is a good idea, but I'm just wondering about what actually gets in to the gallery on the front page. Most of that stuff is great but some of it is not very good.

Be specific, I'll gladly remove something if someone brings it to my attention. For all I know, I over looked something.

If I myself see it is vacant for too long i will submit something worthy, but this topic is not for the purpose of knowingly submitting bad work, or making uneccasary comments. If there is to be comments then they should be critiques on someones work, not a congrats or good job post can be said on a type of messenger or privite message if neccasary. do not post "hey thats great can you teach me" kind of post in this thread. It is only a waste in a thread thats for submissions, making it harder for the moderators, and a waste of time for Veegie to seeve through all these wastless post for an image.

Thank you...

i agree with spartan...seriously though why is there sub par stuff in this thread? we got people like veegie/benman/Halo 2 rules who make some godly renders...

I think that the rule for "dont submit stuff inless you spend 4+ hours on it" should be enforced more.

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 9:03 pm

Minus Ben and add Trep, thanks.
Not that you matter...

...I second Veegie's statement, Ben's is alright at best.

First of all let me just say that what I wrote before was to get people into the gallery NOT to get people out.

Minus Ben and add Trep, thanks.

What is so bad about Ben's renders? I look back and the picture Veegie made with the spartan pointing and the picture Ben made with the spartan shooting could have been made from the same person. They both have one spartan doing something with something non existent with no background and both have a bloom effect on them. Yet somehow Veegie is godly and Ben is alright at best... I think they are both Very good.

i agree with spartan...seriously though why is there sub par stuff in this thread?

Okay... Could someone please define "par"? Just to clear this all up.

I think that the rule for "dont submit stuff inless you spend 4+ hours on it" should be enforced more.

On the whole scene or on the characters, objects, lighting, posing, rigging, materials or other effects?

You can spend allot more that four hours and still get crap, but you can also spend less than four hours and get something real nice out of it. It all depends on the artist's skill.

I hope I haven't come off as being rude, or angry because I'm trying not to.

Fix your quotes, I'll edit this post with a proper response when you come up with a proper post.

Tanasoo · Post by **Tanasoo** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 10:39 pm

Sorry about that

Figures, the one time I don't preview...

You're looking at specifics, we were looking at it as a generalization of all their work.

Because he blatantly disregarded fixing something that is quite easy to fix, AFTER it was pointed out. Which tells me that he really doesn't much care if it gets in or doesn't.

Ignore Dire Hunter, if it were my choice, he wouldn't be able to post on this site, much less this topic. And I won't pretend that opinion isn't shared.

I agree that that guideline was very vague and a bad generalization. But it was stated at a time where almost everyone was begining, was was literally posting progress shots asking what to do now...
But I don't see what the fuss is over the rule, it is disregarded almost always anyways.

Heh did not post in a long time. Some nice renders i see.

Tanasoo · Post by **Tanasoo** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 11:26 pm

I stand corrected.
But wasn't is HK-47 not Dire Hunter? Or is one just an alias?

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 11:49 pm

Oh no, he was. If his behaviour didn't give it away...

Why not try to keep this peaceful and not argue about pointless subjects?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 12:31 am

This isn't an arguement, it's a short discussion.

^lol, true^

New render, I finally got a standard marine up and running, so I decided to give him a bad day

No man gets left behind:

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 1:10 am

Marines right hip comes to a point, and you need some sort of a reflection on the MC.

Done down the green as well, think of it like a pearlescent, rainy day olive green.
