Looks pretty cool; could use some better materials though.

The MC looks wet in that render cus the armor reflection is too strong imo

We are allowed to post non halo-related renders correct?

UNSS Zepher. I need to have the render times quick and the results pleasing to the eye. Does this look good for a 6 second render?

6 SECONDS!?!?

[DEEhunter]

Yes. Using the lowest Vray GI settings.

The copper and gray colors makes the skin look metallic.

[DEEhunter]

That's just for work flow. Its easier to see the details.

I'm completely new to VRay, anyone know anything about it in particular? I can't seem to figure out how to get a good looking 'Jell-O' material and a Ceramic plate material. I did a quick Google for Jell-O and it suggest No gloss, high refraction, high reflection, with fog. I did that, but it was opaque. I have GI enabled, and Caustics, but I don't know if I need the latter. (It look similar with it on/off.)

As for Ceramic material, I just made the play slightly glossy with a matte finish, not sure if that's correct or not? I had Fresnel reflections on, too.
Thank you!

Why thank you.

Sorry for double-post.


That's what I got with a 'Ballistics Gelatin' Material, minus the bump map. Any good?

[Yodel]

Make it slightly more translucent, make the bottom of the jello mold more rounded, and make the top a bit more flat.

I'm looking for thoughts and suggestions for my latest material, and hopefully you all can settle a dispute over what version looks better.





What one wins?

Overall, I'd choose the first. It does a much better job of exemplifying details on the normal map, particularly on the rubber. Makes it 'pop,' in a sense. That said, I feel the material overall lacks detail and definition and a lot could be added to differentiate it from other people's materials and whatnot. Something to make it unique and fresh.
