Title: Tornado Final
Post by: old_blaggard on June 02, 2008, 10:46:02 PM
I've been working on this tornado image for a little while.  It's done completely in TG, except for the ring around the tornado, which is a simple image map.  I'd love to get some input on it.  For a little more detail about some of the choices I've made or the technical aspects, check out this thread over at Ashundar: http://www.ashundar.com/index.php?topic=4383.0

I agree with darthvader. I think this would also look amazing from a lower pov.
The tornado is very very well done indeed, I guess it's function-node work...or?
Great job anyway!

Great work, O_B.  I don't even have to ask if this is pure TG2.   ;D

Yeah I'm also almost 100% sure, knowing O_b, but you'll never know ;D

Heheh, thanks guys ;).  Yes, this is indeed all TG, except for the ring of clouds around the tornado - that's just a doughnut-shaped image map that I whipped up (I suppose I could have done it with functions, but image maps seemed more practical this time ;)).  Both the tornado and the dust cloud around it are masked by functions nodes.  I definitely agree with darthvader that the ground is too noisy, and I'll experiment with other POVs as well.  Stay tuned!

This is amazing work OB. I agree that the ground is too noisy (higher AA ought to take care of it), but I'm not sure the perspective needs changing. I can't wait to see a high quality render of this!
