#A-Wings
Mike,
>>Thanks for the compliment; those models were a lot of work, although much
eaiser than the TIEs. I realize that I am overdoing the backgrounds, but I want
to show others that there is more that can be done in a space background than
some starfield, a planet or two and a lens flare.<<
As for the compliments, they are well deserved!
What is a lens flare?
>>I have been working up some different planetary surface materials, and if the
models themselves didn't take up all of my memory to render, then I'd be using
CorelDraw!'s "satellite photography" fractal fill to create some realistic
image maps.<<
Can the "satellite photography" make the nebulas and starfields? I've alwaysed
wondered how people make those cool backgrounds!
I saw in another thread that you uploaded the projects to a forum. Which one? I
can understand how the copyright laws can get in the way, in for the type of
work you are doing I don't think they should apply. Your work doesn't make a
profit or poke fun at the subject, but copyright laws are very general. Just
glad that the inconsistantcy of CIS allowed for your work to be viewed.
I was going to tell you to check out som of the stuff I've been doing, but it's
been "scrolled off" the GRAPHPUB forum already!
