During (Mustard Gas) Sandstorm

Seth · May 09, 2009, 07:47:33 AM

playing around with the new pack from Tangled-Universe and my own Big Fat Atmo pack, I did this little render.
it took only 20 minutes to put things together and it was mainly a test to see how a different atmo can change T-U texturing.
I thought it might worth a little post

very cool!

Sweet - might have to pick it up

oh, so you did this image

I appears in TU's product page, and I have assumed he did it himself. Really nice, the front formation is a real eye catcher. THe "dust" is a little too greenish somehow, though. Great apart from that.

Cheers;

hehehe

I just took his light and atmo off and put my big fat atmo.
then i change the surface colours, and tweaked a little bit the canyon to fit my taste (more vertical walls), looked for the pov and add a the sand cloud...
and then i hit render button... not bad hu ?!
Martin was astonished about how the atmo change the surface and how it fits without tweaking around :p

that's a 20 minutes (maximum) work !!!

greenish ?
it might be your screen Frank, because on mine, it sure is a bit too dark but not greenish at all... (and as i am a Samsung colours lover, I love the way my screen renders colours...)

I have to second that, I view the picture on a Sony Trinitron using sRGB and it looks weird somehow - maybe I'll have to switch to Samsung

Yep, it's green here to Franck. Samsung is a very good monitor, however they also need calibrating on occasion. My monitor gets calibrated every couple of weeks because Spyder3 reminds me.

Seth · May 09, 2009, 10:21:08 AM

okidoki ^^
I'll have to redo my calibration then !
damn i don't see green on mine... boooohoooo

you calibrate every couples of weeks ? mmmhh.... didn't know I have to do that so often ! thanks for the info.

sorry Frank, my mistake ^^

no problem. just rename the image title to something like "Giant green stink bomb explodes in beautiful canyon"

Don't be so cruel, you might hurt his feelings. Then he comes around with his arsenal of huge green stink bombs

Seth · May 09, 2009, 01:30:27 PM

considering i didn't render any gallows... that is a bit out of place

Martchi · May 09, 2009, 04:54:25 PM

Bravo!

Now mustard gas should clear the area for any of those desert critters like snakes, spiders, scorpions, centipedes and others. Not a bad idea Seth. I've got to get me this pack soon!
