Awesome!! Looking good so far. I cannot wait to see the finished goggles.

Those are fantastic, they're coming along nicely. Can't wait... heheh. =oD

I never understood the Splinter Cell glasses. You can see them in the dark! What's the point of that? Having used real ones for a while now it totally misses the point. May as well yse a flashlight. Real ones don't light up in front. These are looking cool by the way, I guess that's the point... Look cool for the kiddies.

Sam's goggles light up for 2 reasons - 1) so you, the player, can see Sam in the dark (same reason the sat-uplink on his back lights up) and 2) it looks cool. None of the AI controlled people in the game can see the glow. Only you, the player can.

I love straps & buckles lol, great job. bet it's gonna be quite popular in the poser community. (btw still messing with the force shield thingy lol) very cool :)

Thanks DaSerialMole, these are still quick FPrime renders... I'm sure that Poser's smoothing angle is going to ballon the hell out of the detail and I'll have to use Moe's trick on snipping the polys to get it back - we'll see. Can't wait to see what you do with the shields. I've been thinking of a similar gradient trick on specularity and glossiness on a more angular piece of geometry that would work for the Borg personal sheilds.

There's an option in the properties menu, in Poser 5 at least, which can turn off the smoothing, as well as the various tricks.

Any news on the goggles? =o)

That's looking sweet, hmm not too sure what else to say other than it looks awesome. =o)

This is looking absolutely spectacular. Simply amazing.

Ditto x 100 =o) Looking forward to useing them.

Runs around excited =o) What program did you render these pics in? P5? I like the way the lenses look. EDIT: Sorry didnt see your last pic, Im guessing they were rendered in Lightwave then. =oD

Satusgai, these are FPRIME renders out of Lightwave....Once everybody is happy, I'll start dragging it into P5..... I'll probably create some procedurals in P5 for the surfaces initally. Once there I'll make some P5 renders.

damn cool mate, any chance of an article about making poser props in LW? (as not to be subtle for once lol )

Hey DaSerialMole, Its not a bad Idea. This one is probably my first serious attempt. I've picked up a couple of tips from Moe that I will be trying. I haven't exported this to poser yet so I'm sure that I'll run into some gotcha's. I'll keep notes and maybe I'll be able to come up with something.

Excellent work bro!!!

All I can say is 'wow!'. It has certainly been worth the wait and it looks better and better each time you post. Its also inspiring to see someone who takes care with his work and does it right, so to speak. I'm sure you could have cranked some nvgoggles out in a day or two - but you didn't and it shows. Thanks for keeping this project going and for keeping us updated.
