[Krytos]

Wow, nice work there Fishy, that looks like another masterpeice underway

 

 

ummm . . . . me . . . ah (rumages through hard drive) . . . ah, I've been playing with a few things, there's that easter egg picture I posted in the Easter thread I made while playing with Mental Ray in 3DS

Here's the end product:

And there's this engine I've been playing around with using normal 3DS paramters with the exception of Radiosity.

This a pic of a 3d model of an Imperial Garrison I am working on. I haven't yet finished the modelling and it still needs textures.

[Lord_La_forge]

Nice little model you got there! I would share some of my recent work too, but those are top secret Reloaded pics

[Mad78]

Here is an animation i made.

Its in several parts so you shall need WinRAR to unpack. You sahll then need the Bink tool (can be found here) to read it.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

Part 6

Part 7

I do not know if these links shall work. If they don't tell me quickly so i can change them.

[Lord_La_forge]

Not mine but:

That's definetly a kind of job I want to have too. Anyone knows anything abouth retouching as a profession?

[Krytos]

@ LLF: Hmm, probably for magazines - other than that I'm not sure. I've been tempted to look into that field, though like you I'm not sure if there's much of an opening

 

@Mad: Sorry mate, I missed your last post here - just tried your links, though they don't work. It seems to be because I'm not with Gmail

It's a Cindytrooper.

[BadSamaritan]

 

It's a Cindytrooper.

 

I have the sudden urge to turn to the dark side....

[Jahled]

I blame you not. The Dark Side is fun when you get to plan your evil galactic conquests with your fiendish henchmen, tibbles, and Eric the Parrot, whilst wearing your favourite Stormtopper hat.

[AdmiralFishface]

Mad, I can't see the stuff behind your links. Krytos seems to be correct, it's probably A Gmail thing.

 

La_forge, very interesting site! Don't know much about art professions, though.

 

Jahled... woah. That's one dangerous trooper.

(On a critique note, the hair doesn't blend with the background perfectly. Some slight overpainting would correct that, though.)

[Krytos]

Wow, I hope she's a clone

 

So, where can I enlist?

[Mad78]

Gulp!!!

J... Have you by any chance got her comlink number?

[Darktrooper]

How about her holonet address.

 

I would kill to be at her feet.

[Mad78]

Back to art.

Here is a model which I am working. It represents a Rapora head.

I would appreciate if the moddelers of the community would tell me what they think. Thanks.

 

Note about the animation: Those who want just give me your email adresse and i shall send it to you.

[Jahled]

Found this:

Quite frankly the guy who made it is a genius.

[Mad78]

Core now that is neat!

[Darktrooper]

I second that. Very nicely done. Good find, Jahled.

Dark Leia.

 

I still haven't found a lightasber Photoshop tutorial that I can get to grips with.

[Trejiuvanat]

I'll send you one later, when I'm back at my own pc.

[Lord_La_forge]

Quite dark she is indeed!

[Mad78]

I must say that looks quite good J

[AdmiralFishface]

Well done, Master J, but a dark projection of herself she must be, for she has no reflection on the ground!

 

As for the sabers... they're easy (I took the liberty of retouching your pic back to saberless state):

1/ On a separate layer, draw a white line of appropriate thickness

PIC

2/ Create another layer, screen or linear dodge blending mode, and draw a thicker, colored line.

PIC

3/ Apply Gaussian Blur to the layer (about 4 pixels radius looked good on this pic).

PIC

Done.
