Between projects and playin' again.
Was quick to model, texturing actually took longer than modeling.
Rendered with Thea, used the 'Glare' option with 50% radius for godrays.

Wow, is very expressive! I can hear the silence !
How did you achieved that "volumetric light" effect? -

I wanted to use the 'medium' method in Thea but that would increase render time, I did not want to render more than 2 hours (original size 2000x)so I used the 'glare' option after render (in Thea) I believe it worked pretty well, I could use PS and add dust but thought it looks okay without it.

Read between the images

Pete, can you show SU textured image?

Sure, As you can see I mostly used the bump maps instead of diffuse maps in SU, that way I can map easier, and in Thea I link the diffuse (little trick I use to keep model size down as bumps weight less than diffuse and easier to see for mapping)
-
Why not normals maps? I always thought they were superior.
Nice tip though.
-
I usually swop out the grey scale bumps for normals in Thea for close materials, otherwise grey ones work fine (I do set the contrast higher in Thea for grey maps however)
I use Paintshop X4 and Pixplant2 to create all my normals, spec, displacement and bumps as well as make textures seamless if needed.

Hi Solo
Like it a lot!! Maybe also because I practice Karate...

Sensei!

Nice render Solo, it feels like there's gonna be a showdown of Samurai's...I love the model very clean and organized.

Yea, solo . Nice work! Fantastic mastery of textures. You need some wrestlers in the scene now;)
How long have you been using Thea? I thought you used Vray as well? -
Excellent work, Sensei

I can hear the click of bamboo shinai on steel face masks. And the smell a lot of sweat.

I'm waiting to the fight between Neo and Morpheus!
Great render as ever! -
beautiful atmosphere

I'd say about two years if not longer, I was involved with the beta from the first beta version.
I did, I never owned Vray (think struggling freelancer) but learned from the trial version and was part of beta testing also,then the beta testing changed and one needed a license to continue which I never had so that was the end of my Vray days.

Excellent render-modelling peter!!!
Always practical solutions, expected from you. A great lesson. -
masterfully done as per usual, and nice hints for Thea.
-
very nice athmosphere. nice render and lighting. I wish you put now some samurai characters model in artisan.. keep on playing because when you play we see the best from you.
