Looks great. Only thing I might suggest is that it looks like you wings go from the large rounded front down to a razor edge on the back side. Might look a bit more realistic if the back edge was rounded off.

Yeah I was thinking that.....Thanks for the comment 😄

Thanks for replying so quick solo 👍
Yeah iam kinda new to the whole rendering,texturing process so i thought i would give it a shot.Plus i think it would be cool to have my own texture library that i can edit,use and share.I going through all the TUTs right now for it,I am hoping i can share and show off some new textures next week or so.

Thnx again.

Well then, now start using some soft shadows! 😉

Nice start!

I was messing around with HDR lighting and ies mesh lighting.I layered 2 ground plains one on top of the other and I textured the bottom with a Metal mirror style texture and the top with Dilectic glass.I used a mettalic/gloss green car paint on the sphere.
I am going to subdivide the sphere a couple more times to get a smoother look on it.
I will post it when its finished rendering.
Here is the first one...ENJOY 👍

EDIT:here is the same scene,I just Subdivided it and added a diffrent texture(dilectic Glass)to the sphere to get a different effect.

Aaahhhh.... 😆 😆
Those are render presets... Never used these LR01-04 presets myself... 😉
To be honest I'm not exactly sure what they're used for, but if I remember correct, they're there to help 3dsMax users for some layered render techniques... 😉

Those are useful with post processing, for example if you want to add a controlled bloom.

Smoothing won't physically round-off the edges...for that you would need to use a subdivide tool, like the recently released Subdivide & Smooth Ruby script.
A more exact and efficent way of doing it would be to model the gun the way it actually is...using circles/arcs...rather than just tracing it and Push/Pulling.
There is a similar thread here.
I explain how it's done about halfway down the thread.

Thanks a bunch,That really helps alot.
Everyone here has been so helpful.

Thanks again ❗
