Description The story:
The once-clear skies had suddenly become man's domain. Now peppered with massively lumbering, steam-belching airships, the air lanes above the Deutsches Reich were evolving into history's next battleground. Reich factories began producting the single manned Obenwolken in 1862 as a means to quickly survey battleground from far above other airships: equipped with a state-of-the-art onboared photographic recording system as well as paired sets of MG02 repeating cannons, the diminutive craft was highly adept at both reconnaissance and offensive missions.
Now, in the future, this ship is hidden somewhere, no one can reach.
The golden eye. The sky watcher.

My entry for the =3D-Asuarus steam punk contest.

Model: 3Ds-Max2009
Render: Vray1.5 SP2
Psot: PhotoShop CS4

Faced problem with the texture, my texture file gone due to my stupidness, so the material you see here is not really textured, and i don't have time to "retexture". Hope it's good enough as much as the other entries.

mossawi [2009-03-05 21:31:35 +0000 UTC]

can u talk about ur lighting and render settings bro?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Sha-X-doW In reply to mossawi [2009-03-06 10:12:49 +0000 UTC]

Sure, well, for lighting i used 2vray lights, one in the left and another in the right. Adjusted the intensity of the right one to be stronger ofcourse, I also added a dome light and used a hdri night map as light map + reflection. For the render settings, Nothing special about them, I used light cache and IR maps to render and adjusted the settings to fit a night scene. Also to add more light to the scene, i did added gloss to all the materials even the floor, un-noticeable gloss, just for light bouncing.
What else?
