It's actually better than anything I can currently do, so nice job.

Going for a new look. Any suggestions?

Try to dull the visor out, and lower the glossy/reflection on the mc.

Visor - TOO BRIGHT!

Thanks for the tips, better?

the armor is still a little too shiny/glossy.

and not very rough-looking.

armor looks to rubbery and smooth.
the visor is looking great though

you might want to add the lights on to it altogether as the mc looks like he had no builtin lights like hes ment to.

The background looks like it was originally like a 200x200 image. No me gusta.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 10:47 am

yeah background's really blurry for some reason, but the chief itself is looking better

benman08 · Post by **benman08** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 11:09 am

The background is a hdr image format, so when i set it as a spherical environment, it does this.

*EDIT*

Changed the diffuse to fit in with the scene more.

benman08, those look very nice.
I especially like the visors. They look awesome.

Benman, there is a way for you to turn off the HDRI image being rendered as the backround, but keeping the effects of it on the material. If you wanted to do that.

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 2:18 pm

You really don't even need to put it in the background in the first place. There's ways to get a Bitmap Map in the Material Editor without clicking and dragging it from the Environment place. Plus, most HDR images out on the web are too low quality to put in the background.

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 2:23 pm

They're nice if you blur them for an exagurated DoF effect.

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 2:27 pm

Indeed, they are very nice for that, I recommend checking out www.debevec.org for some ideas of what he's talking about.

Also, be sure to look at the movie he made, Fiat Lux. http://www.debevec.org/FiatLux/

Keep in ming that these are at least four days old, and have been udated greatly since then.
