Oh look a full station render!!!!

... with the rest of the station cloaked!

Been working on the top of the docking bay and I got the urge to render, as I was nearly finished, to see how it all was looking. Apart from a few weightmap errors, and the dreaded white speckles appearing again, I think it's working out pretty good!

Aresius · 03-21-2007, 11:46 PM

indeed... looks very good...

**Martocticvs** · 03-21-2007, 11:47 PM

A likely story! Looking good though - although you missed a load of white speckles around the edge...

Dallidas · 03-22-2007, 12:09 AM

damn, i was hoping for an uncloaked shot...o well...

looks great! what are these specks you speak of?

**tobian** · 03-22-2007, 12:15 AM

I painted them out in photoshop.. it seems to be a curious bug in fprime that if there's an area light in the scene, sometimes, speckles appear on the reverse-lit seams of the model. Annoying!

With enough baking they were almost gone, but there is nothing in it to explain why they were there at all haha

Cheers for the compliments guys, oh and Martocticititus was talking about the stars :P

That last pic is too beautiful for me to even see any 'speckles'

And besides....if this station is donut shaped... sprinkles are a good thing

**tobian** · 03-22-2007, 12:42 AM

Haha it is indeed donut shaped, well part of it.. hmm maybe fprime decided I needed sugar sprinkles

Cheers for all the compliments guys!

"Disengage cloaking device!"

"But, Captain, the entire station will be visible then! I can'na do it!"

"Engineer, I want this station visible and rendered ASAP!"

"Aye, Sir!" (Muttered under breath: "Bloody loon!")
