Nice render. OK TOP THIS!

1:13:06 renders. 120 frames of that. I think it will take awhile.


-Skidrow

EDIT: Also forgot to add something. Did you see those yellow things on the front bottom of my ship? Those are orbital bombardment MACs and I am planning on making an actual one. Fun fact. Will be small.

looks pretty good so far just a few comments
1. in reach im pretty sure the blades are bigger
2. i dont think the tail gets that close to the ground like the bottom of the main hull does


and yea Skidrow the project im working on now is rendering at about 3.5 minutes per frame and im trying to do a 4 minute animation sooo if my math is right is abouuut 17.5 days :P

lol, actually the blades are almost perfectly to scale, if not a little bit too big lol, as for the tail, i noticed that just a second before you posted lol, i'll get to fixing it tomorrow :D

yay! :D

@Amazingcuziam: Try Auto-smoothing to 30?

Beat you to it, by about 8 hours, lol.

EDIT: In order to adhere to the WIP thread rules, I have to give some relevant input other than "f". So, uh, That looks good, and keep it up.

nice thats way better than my attempt

o rly? i don't believe you.

Why not?

I am on frame 13 out of 120 xD!

take a look for yourself, not responsible for damage to eyes caused by bad model.

*dies*

How long have you been rendering lol. @StatutoryTrOy I think i just started bleeding out my eyes...
Edited by Amazingcuziam on Nov 5, 2010 at 12:37 PM

Weeellll... I think I started at about 11 last night. and the 13th frame is almost done.

lol, my computer would have given an out of memory error if i had been rendering for half that time

Hm. And all I am rendering is some basic shapes modified 1 skylight and like 9 or so OMNIs and 2 FSpots. And a moving camera. Also I set it to bounce...

Well here are the statistics.

Objects: 52
Lights: 18
Faces: 30,132
Shadow Mapped: 3
Memory Used: P:124.5M
Ray Traced: 0

what are your hardware specs??

Hows it looking?

its a bit long in general i think

maybe a bit, but thats the way i like it :D

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3


Computer:
Inter(R)
Pentium{R} 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.79GHz, 100 GB of RAM

That sound good?

Back to work on my non-linear Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.
Edited by Skidrow925 on Nov 6, 2010 at 01:18 PM

you realize you wrote 100 GB ram?

Whoops meant 2 GB. My bad.

What types of metal do MACannons fire that I could actually get? Because the lead slugs aren't working.

any metal that has magnetic properties

are you actually making one in real life because railguns are muuuuch easier to make. railguns just have 2 rails with opposing electrical currents and wen a conductive object crosses the two rails its accelerated in the direction of the current

MAC's or gauss guns use electromagnets that have to be on timing circuits that are extreemely exact

oh and thats the reason your renders take a while :P

my specs:

Intel i7 930 - 2.89GHz (OC'd to 3.8) - quad core with 8 processing threads
6GB DDR3 tripple channel 2000MHz RAM
nvidia GTX 280

for intense rendering the more threads you can get really helps. thats why i use mental ray renderer because it supports multiple threads much better ( as opposed to having one box being rendered at a time with a Pentium 4 i have 8 at a time)

What would be somewhat cheap but strong? That I could actually get?

err... macs with bootcamp?

Epic post!
And that, my good friends, is why we call this Custom Edition! :D

What? I am talking about Magnetic Accelerator Cannons. I need a somewhat cheap but strong substance to fire. I tried potato's but those just exploded.

oh i thought you meant a computer lol
"cheap but strong"

Yeah that pretty much defeats computers from teh list. Though I might try and shoot a large monitor with it...


HAAX!!!! *BAM!*

a little fact: MAC guns fire depleted uranium or ferric tungsten shells.

Or tungsten carbide from what I have heard.

The problem is that I have on of those available. So I used lead. Note: Never fire lead out of a MAC. It looks pretty but it's stupid.

I can show you one of the generator concepts I made but back on-topic real quick.

Someone should make a GOOD fighter airplane thingummy. Or an albatross.

Haven't given you guys an update in a few days, the windshield has been slightly improved (the render is a few days old) and will be redone before i release :). hows it looking? (minus the top windshield)
