Title: Halo Render 1
Post by: zionner on September 16, 2007, 04:53:04 PM
Hi everyone

As you will know if you read the post about it a while ago...I am working on some pictures to celebrate the release of Halo 3 a Week on Tuesday/Wednesday depending where you live..

Now The Large Capital Ship still needs some work, but The Pelicans in this Picture are finished, Enjoy!

maybe some postwork on engine exhaust would give the image more depth

Thanks Guys

dhavalmistry: I would like to add Somesort of Heat distortion around the engine, and even adding flames in would add a large amount of depth...The Problem with that is right now I dont have access to anything that i could use to do this,

Thanks

Nice!, What Did you use for that? Photoshop?
Title: Re: Halo Render 1
Post by: Will on September 17, 2007, 06:03:13 AM

Nice, Now if only i could afford Photoshop :/

Do you know any others that could do what im looking for? (Heat distortion)

you could do it in Gimp I think http://www.gimp.org/ not sure if it has a smudge tool but some careful drawing an a blur brush would work, then just blur behind the flame for effect.

Try Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/) or Photofiltre (http://photofiltre.free.fr/download_en.htm), both free.

This is a slightly changed version..using the blur tool from Photofiltre...

Its quite good (i think anyway) as the blur gives the pelicans feel more as if they are moving..

As always C+C welcome :D

I think to create more depth you should blur the whole pelicans instead of just bits and parts.......also giving more amount of blur to foreground objects compared to those in the background will give depth as well....

but this isnt bad at all....keep up the good work....
