Thanks man! Well I just made some terrains in Vue and added a water material to them. I'm ok with the way it turned out but I wish I could do better. Real looking splashes and froth etc...

And you're welcome. I have this as my desktop currently (despite knowing I'll get teased to death tomorrow for it). ^^

Councilor [2006-03-23 02:56:29 +0000 UTC]

Wow the mechs are cool! but the explosives behind it (it's explosives, right?) looks kinda repetitive, and doesn't seem like an explosion.

Btw, check this out [link]
It's a good references.

TDBK In reply to Councilor [2006-03-23 03:59:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man.. well yeah those "explosions" are not really realistic. Thats one thing about Vue that is not easy or possible without some other app.. Particle effects. I was going for a more unrealistic approach.. actually thats what I shoot for. Sorta' real but not quite.

That's all good.
Nice colour contrasts.
Is that water or ice?

TDBK In reply to Hapax-Legomenon [2006-03-23 01:56:34 +0000 UTC]

Haha! It's supposed to be water but VUE has the crappiest water effects around. I tried to cover it up with some mist but it's hard to make something like water look real in vue unless it's just on a flat plane... which I did not want.

Thank you!!!

TDBK In reply to kevinwoodPHOTO [2006-03-23 01:53:41 +0000 UTC]

Haha!! Thanx man! Good to hear frm you! One of these days soon I'll get a lightwave scene set up with mechs fighting properly. In a city or something. I would love to do it in VUE but it has no particle effects. I'm still trying to learn LW though so it will be a while.

kevinwoodPHOTO In reply to TDBK [2006-03-24 19:05:09 +0000 UTC]

Right on! Yeah, all those products (Lightwave, Maya, 3DSMax) are very complicated and have a LOT to them, but once you get the hang of it, you're all set.

If you want a great way to learn (which is how I'm learning 3dsmax right now), go to [link] and look into their videos. They have video tutorials that are amazing. They teach anything from the VERY basics to modeling to texturing and lighting to the final render.

Good luck with your learning. Can't wait to see more scenes from you. I love how easily you apply your kick-ass mechs to everyday scenes

TDBK In reply to kevinwoodPHOTO [2006-03-26 03:50:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the link!! Lightwave is not too bad when it comes to animation and modeling. I just have a problem with special effects.. they never look good enough when I do them. I did get some training material for LW though and hopefully that will address that issue and the link you provided can help a lot! Thanx!

Thanx man! Yeah it looks icy but it's supposed to be water. Just that VUE's water looks like ice.. I tried to cover it up a little with some mist in PS.
