Well it's not that great, and it is using SU, but really, what it is, is a SU model overlayed on a photo. I made the model, not that you can see much of it here, but I thought someone might like it.

I might try rendering it later and see how it goes.

Very very nice models. I hope all goes well with your mod. Though I cant imagine and engine that could handle such a huge poly rate.

Hi again,

I've done a couple more models since last time.

Oh, and here are some stats from them all:
A-12 2210 Triangles
F-35 2300 Triangles
Osprey 5500 Triangles
SU-25 2365 Triangles
SU-22 2528 Triangles
A-10 3408 Triangles
Shafaq 1722 Triangles

Wow, that's great.
It reminds me of those biscuit tins you used to get that were pressed into different shapes and textured.

ps : actually the arms of the droid are the canons. The two elements on the head are sensors or something like that... I think Star Wars fanatics will mind if we don't render properly their universe!

Yea, thanks, I was aware of that, but I wanted to try to make a narrow beam effect from the eyes. I didn't intend them to be weapons.

Thought that I would show you what I'm making now and the process I'm going through. It's a bit whacked, but it's fun...

Heres some close ups

Here's what I've been up to lately.
To scale, low poly, accurate

I was having major problems with Hypershot not saving, or properly rendering my model so here is just a PRTSC capture of Hypershot.

Hypershot wasn’t saving my model, screenshots, renders or anything, so I lost the Hypershot model and got stuck with low quality renders

[attachment=0:32yjmwn5]<!-- ia0 -->Ford Falcon Hardtop render rear.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:32yjmwn5]

I've found that Hypershot doesn't save when the model is open in SU so I make sure that SU is closed before I start using Hypershot and loading the model seperately.

Hi,

Just a kinda unrelated question.
Are you self taught in SU and v-ray?
I want to improve my skill level and want to know how to go about doing that.

Cheers

Holy crap that's looking good.
I'm nearly finished THUD!, the last in the night watch series

One of my first models I made. Rendered in Hypershot 1.5

WOW, now that I've seen yours updated, I might finshing off the rest of mine.
Sitting them beside each other, they look like they are meant to be in the same town so I think that's a good thing.

Do you have any more resource for the Pseudopolis Yard?

Inspiring, Lyall. The level of detail is very consistent so it looks like a real table-top model. Is that a bump map on the roofing? The colors and textures actually work well together as is. Thanks for positing this.

Thanks pbacot.
The textures are just SU standard with some colour tweaking. The Roof looks that good because it's mish-mashed due to the triangulation on the roof and usually it would look terrible on a model but in this case it makes it look bump mapped.

Here is the final model at this stage. The front is all complete, but the back isn't. I might get some more imagination at a later date and complete, or if some one else wants to complete it let me know and I'll give you the file.

Oh, and the pigeons are from the 3D Warhouse.

So far so good, but I'll reserve my judgement until after its rendered

@chris fullmer said:

Thats great! What render engine, and how much time to render?

Thanks, I use Hypershot and it takes a few minutes to render. I'm just using standard SU materials at this stage.

Heres another update.

I thought that I might put in an entry too. Hypershot if you couldn't have guessed.

Okay, I've done a little bit more and enough for today so time for an update.

Hi Solo,

As you would learn from all the thread relating to Anke-Morpork, this is a large city. Infact containing over 1,000,000 people.

I think all would love to see the city built, but really...? I don't think computer technology is that advanced as yet.

Due to thomthoms recent inspiration with his Assassin's Guild, here is my WIP for the Pseudopolis Yard, made from resource from thomthom.
Thanks

I have been making this using SU6 - Photomatch

C&C's welcome.
