3D World 108th Issue

rcallicotte · October 16, 2008, 09:05:48 AM

Let's be festive and make October 31st the due date, if everyone agrees. I'll start on mine today, if so. Otherwise, I understand.

@PG - I believe the only rules we stated (did we agree?) is that the image must be made in TG2 with no more than 30% postwork, which percentage will be agreed upon by general consensus.

PG · October 16, 2008, 04:30:59 PM

OK, I think the 31st is reasonable time for those of us who haven't started yet to get a chance. I never use postwork anyway so that's not a problem for me.

Cool. I hope everyone who wants to join is does. This is exciting.

O_B, this should give you time if you want to touch up anything or re-render.

Excellent... does anyone have any suggestions for what they think I should work on?

Will · October 16, 2008, 07:41:13 PM

Yea I'm thinking I just do a more polished version of my of my older renders, but who knows.

PG · October 16, 2008, 07:58:07 PM

I was thinking the same thing Will.
@OB: Your strong suit seems to be populations and rugged terrains. Maybe a rendition of something like this.

Heheh, thanks PG, but I was actually already have an image - I just want to know if people think I should tweak it: http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=4841.msg51700#msg51700

Oh right. haha. I forgot about that one. well the rock populations look a little uniform, mainly in size but also in distribution at first glance. Maybe try the camera a little lower too. Have it on the ground with detailed local scope populations (the ones close up) and looking up at that...missile trail? Looks like a nuke.

Okay, I love this image, so I'm going to be really nitpicky.

First, the smaller pebbles should be a little more random. They look too 3Dish, due to the population conformity.

Second, I would put just a few (not a lot) of trees in a bunch in the mid section between your foreground, but just before the mountain range.

Can't think of anything else right now.

I think I might have a go at this, but my skills are rather laking. Should be fun.

Will · October 17, 2008, 03:02:07 PM

Hey its all about having fun and learning stuff. Give it a shot!

rcallicotte · October 17, 2008, 11:08:42 PM

Something creative, PG. In TG2. You have plenty of time before the 31st...eh?

old_blaggard · October 29, 2008, 12:43:53 PM

Eh... would we be able to extend the deadline by another couple of days? Somebody shut down the box I was using to render the image and I lost over 80 hours

.

rcallicotte · October 29, 2008, 03:29:00 PM

You can restart where you left off, can't you? Or not? I guess not.

How long do you need?

Mine is almost ready, but I have already rendered it. So...I understand if we need to extend the time. How much?

old_blaggard · October 30, 2008, 12:59:02 AM

No, when the computer was shut down all of the render progress was deleted. I can probably have it ready by Monday the 3rd.
