not sure if I made it clear enough in my last post, but I think everything else about the scene is lit excellently, it's really only the R2 shadow that stands out

I don't know if this was your final lighting rig or not, but if it is and you wanted to keep it that way you could easily remove the shadow in photoshop without having to change the rig, if you're animating it it'd be slightly more tricky (probably have to render in a couple of layers and comp it) but still doable - and you'd get better results than painting on it in PS, especially if you've added some reflections in there by then

but if it is just a temp lighting rig then I can't wait to see the final thing! hehe

Yeah I am currently playing (experimenting - a lot of that goes on with Mental Ray

) with different lighting rigs so its not final as yet, and do see what you mean about the shadow and totally agree, but fear not this will be addressed

I would love to animate the sccene however render times curently sit at about 30 mins per frame

There are things i can do to optimise render times so will see, but that is my end goal, with threepio hobbling along side

Cheers,

Wiz.

30min / frame... ahh.. that's nothing! Just render a few minutes worth for us, will ya!

Looking great, Wiz! Can't wait to see 3PO in there too!

lol, ok ok, will see what I can do this week, not had much chance to play this week as its getting busy at work (new project starts, so my playing at work days are over :P).

Ok something soon though, leave it with me

Looking good Wiz. Keep it up.

I never replied to your R2 thread, but I have drooled over it on many occasions. Stellar work on the little trash can.

Thanks mate, hopefully I can do 3PO justice too

Puddle_Jumper · 08-17-2008, 08:42 PM

ok Threepio is one of the three things i acualy like about star wars

**Wiz** · 09-27-2008, 10:38 PM

Only one of three... curious now as to what the other two are, to hazard a guess Leia in the outfit :P and Han in his tight pants (covering all bases as you never know

)

Anyway, here is a little update, I managed to squeeze in a few hours of playing with 3PO, and here is what I have, blocked out the hips, corrected proportions of the torso, and will hopefully get some more time to play tomorrow

Anyway, not much but as ever here you go

Wiz.

**Wiz** · 09-28-2008, 12:05 AM

lol, well did another hour, and ended up with a very feminine 3PO (just when you thought he couldn't get any more woman like, ... apparently he can :P)

Anyway, here is a redo on the way... but here ya go on the wrong hips!

OK, note to self, do not have a bottle of wine with friends and then think you can still model... although you can... however ... this is the result :P
