I love the artisic style in that first shot...I can't even put my finger on it but it is such a unique scene.

Love your work man.

Looks great. I don't know that I could put so much work into something like this. I admire your dedication.

Thanks.. though to be honest I often spend as much time in post, cheating, as it does rendering hehe

(though to get them that smooth with adiosity lights, it takes 2-6 hours to get them really smooth!)

I may have to try and do an Ambient Occlusion pass, to try and bring out the detail a little more!

With regards to the time taken: I'm doing this as much because I want to finish it one day, as because I use it for a test bed of my modeling skills, hence it keeps improving, as I find new ways of modeling something... Still actually thinking up what detail to put on it is more timetaking than actually modeling it.. sometimes

I usually just give up when things start to get difficult. I guess it doesn't help that I have a five year old computer and software to match

Well just don't make any stations with a horrendously complicated layout, over 3 million polies and render them with lots of soft reflections and full radiosity... and you should be fine !

I once had to do everything within 10 MB of ram - ahh the good old days.. no wait, they sucked

Get a new computer !

Captain Boh · 05-18-2006, 11:02 AM

I'd love to, only problem is, I can't justify getting a new PC, and I can't afford to get a new Mac yet.

Though, I'm certanly doing better than 10 MB of ram.

Look fabulous, any more updates?

**tobian** · 05-18-2006, 11:45 AM

Well then what's stopping you!

No more updates for a while I'm afraid.. woking away from the computer for a few days

Captain Boh · 05-18-2006, 11:47 AM

Away... from... computer?

Madness!
