Artist's Comments

EDIT: This image is best viewed in 32-bit color. 16 bit is far too limited on the colors and causes rampant color loss and dithering mucking - Besides, it was rendered in 32-bit

Eh, figured I'd do something different for a render than another one with it just standing there.

It's taking a step, big whoop. 4 hours, 39 minutes to render... because I refused to step away from PC and continue to browse our wonderful (not) Internet.

Light's are bit more powerful than the previous renders, hence the funky shadowing going on, but it's only minor.

Half of the 17 secondary lights were lowered close to the ground, hence the oddity with the darkest shadow being lighter in the middle.

I'm still trying to figure out why lights that aren't supposed to cast shadows are casting shadows, I think it may be something not completely hashed out in Toxic itself, Ambient lights make Toxic load up some strange deal with the Runtime Environment, causing it to "close in a non standard way" (As best to translate it).

But hey, in another render, I did say I'd do other renders where you could glimpse other details, and thus, I have not lied. There'll be more, but they'll be a little far between, I have other things I'd like to do other than render this over and over again in such a drab environment... too bad the render with it in a "Training City" ended up mucking the PNG file up, making my programs unable to determine it's format.

very nice pose :)
I noticed it's flexibility even around the foot it's standing on :) very realistic. Tho, I like the pose...but maybe a bit too fancy for a mean lookin machine? I'd like to see this in a battle stance with a very dynamic view that makes it look like Death is coming upon us XDDDD just my suggestion

What a great model! Smooth, clean, detailed.
Going to check the rest of your gallery now.

Those are some nice details, but why so many lights? (17) Why not use Mental Ray with Final Gather and a white dome? That would have done the trick.

BTW: Is that Maya?

Maya? No, I'm not using any "professional level application" for my work. It's all free 3D programs.

Wings3D with Toxic Engine plugin, and there's so many lights because enabling Indirect Lighting makes the renderer close itself by calling up some messed up Runtime Variable.

Hell, I'm using the "professional level application" for my work, but I am not on the professional level, as you can see from my gallery, so, don't bother :)

Nice detail! looks like a nice model too from what i can see, deff. not worth 4 hours to render though, you need to work on lowering the render times...or get a better computer :P
:iconacedarkfire:
It's the renderer itself, as I've said it before in an earlier deviation with this model.

Awesome... i need to learn how to draw mechs, too. mech, mech, mech.

I don't know what to do! Wah!
:iconacedarkfire:
Been thinking up scenes to put it in, but my idea's don't normally get executed often, because I have other things I end up working on. Somethings on the horizon, I just need to work towards that point.
