Shonner: Sorry, I meant does your material system support layers? If so you could keep that nice metal material but include paint chips and rust streaks like in your earlier image. The stuff I use it would be a matter of making an alpha mask to control various layers. Still a nice robot either way. It has an impression of something that would actually work.

ShawnDriscoll ( ) posted Mon, 10 December 2007 at 6:27 PM

Yes. Carrara does layers. As many as you have RAM for. The rust look has about 8 or 9 nested layes. The last image has only 4 layers.

Some more work on the Fokker. Adjusted some parts and made a start with the texturing. In progress Renderosity thread is at: [ http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2716851](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2716851)

Done for now. Will export it into Vue 6 for outdoor rendering.

Great looking through some of this stuff. Nice DR1 made one about 6 years ago not as nice but hey.

This is a character I am working on for a web comic I plan to put together. Lots of preparation all original mesh I made in wings and render here in Messiah. Once I upgrade the hardware I will be rigging him and his partners.

Love this thread, shonnar that robot looks like one my brother had more than a few (20?) years ago! great stuff.

Mine here is a 'wizards orb' on a simple wooden cube to simulate a table.

I was doing it in between tweaking, printing out and framing a doz high quality photos for family Christmas prezzies, it then took 3 1/2 hours to render.

It has 6 spheres with different textures including volumetric, fractal and a photo of a brass backed crystal door nob as a mat on the centre orb and a bryce sweeping spiral with a starfield mat.

I was a bit dissapointed with the starfield as it didn't hold the 'glitter' when I rendered so I have to figure out how to adjust that, any hints will be welcome.

WOW!! Away for a little while and lots to see here, Great stuff everyone. I was thinking of modelling a gas mask, and whilst inspecting several photo's on the net to get an idea of form and function, I came across something that chilled me to the core. A Mickey Mouse Gas Mask?!! Apparently only prototypes were made, ment only for kids. But I thought it would be quite creepy as a battlefield mask? The modelling so far. Z.

Hi all, Bit of an update. Took the obj into Carrara 6P for final modelling, Shader domains and textures. Not sure it's turned out creepy though?

Zikeo,WOW! Those red eyes (and matching hair bow & tongue in the full shot) does really give it the creepy feel, especially with the cutsy micky mouse smile! I also think the way you have the moroon colour just at the base of the eyes enhances that feel. It is a tad creepier that I had thought with the original suggestion. Great work. Jen

ZIKEO ( ) posted Wed, 16 January 2008 at 1:30 PM

Hi, Thanks Boofy. The maroony colour was achieved with the Anything Goo's plugin for Carrara, which you can use to add grime etc from the most densely packed mesh areas out.

Can't seem to get of the theme though.
Taken a bit further from the Mouse mesh and I've ended with a Duck.
Daffy, Howard not donald.

What I might do is a morphing duck in Carrara, between Daffy and Howard, using the filter cannister (not shown here).

Thanks again for the input.

Zikeo, the silver one is my fave, soooo cool! Love the wires. Great modelling.

ZIKEO ( ) posted Fri, 25 January 2008 at 11:24 AM

Thanks Boofy. The colours on the previous post are, I think, all standard Carrara shaders. I've had a play with the shaders and set a lot more domains. The paneling colour though, is still a standard Carrara shader. But very much the translucency I'm looking to get, but maybe not the colour. Subject to scene requirements I guess.

Thanks

**DarkEdge**: Nice model you have there. I like high poly' models :-)

Work continues with my accurate Space 1999, Eagle Transporter (series 1). This is roughly how the 3rd final render will look - still some thing to do with the terrain/environment. Modelled with Cinema 9.6 and rendered with Maxwell Render 1.7.
