Ok don't be too critical of this as I am still working here.

HDRI, no light sources, no post work yet. Modeled in Bryce.

Dont know what I am going to do for a body yet, maybe just a floating disembodied head.

I love it so far!!! But the HDRI map is pretty low res...maybe find a higher res one?

Vile ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 8:35 PM

Thanks. I have it blurred, but if you know of some higher res images let me know

Vile ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 8:57 PM

You asked for it. This is what I do you might find a better way let me know, a variation on AgentSmith's way.

Hey thanx Vile! Lemme experiment a bit and get back on this! :)

Vile ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 9:16 PM

Oh boy, bet I will regret this...

humorix ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 9:18 PM

Lol! Just a question. What is the material of the object set to? Any notes on lighting?

Vile ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 9:50 PM

It's all about Reflection! Reflection! Reflection! or was it location? lol any reflective material, glass, metal, etc... 0 (nada, nil, zero) lights no sun either just bask in Ambient glow! Just Trust me >;)

AgentSmith ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 10:42 PM

Notice how the gobal image looks nice in the reflection, but not in the background? Usually it doesn't matter, because the background is normally post blurred. But if your global image is smaller in resolution, you can push your sphere straight back, away from the camera, to get some distance so the background won't look as pixelated. AgentSmith

I like the robot. Isn't HDRI a special image format that isn't supported in Bryce? Like it holds more color information than the actual resolution of the image or something? where did you get the map?

AgentSmith ( ) posted Fri, 18 October 2002 at 11:48 PM

It's fake HDRI. This more falls under reflection mapping. HDRI is the most used term for all this, so everyone is just going with that.

Yep no post work and it takes 3 times as long to render when you use DOF. I will post later a more finished image. Hepcatbrandon you are right this is faked HDRI but works quite well.

btw, forgot to mention, Cool-A$$ robot, those eyes are PERFECT. AS

Yep the Robo is definitely Kick A$$!!! Its a simple assembly but brings about impressive results! I've found a link which might prove to be good reference material for all of us Brycers!

madmax_br5 ( ) posted Sat, 19 October 2002 at 12:29 AM

Cool! Have it bookmarked...will explore it more later.

Great robot! He (she? it?) even has an expressive face!

Vile ( ) posted Sat, 19 October 2002 at 1:49 AM

Yes Robots can smile and here we get hung on that silly gender thing again. Silly Humans.

B.R.Y.C.E. can get angry too.

Hmmm Vile better not let zhann hear your views on the gender thingee!!! ;-) Kudos on the Robot design! Love its expressive face! Specially the eyes! Really dig them!

If you like the Rome HDRI pic, but you don;t want it in the forground, look at this short tutorial. It is explained in more detail in the main forum in it's own thread.

In regards to the robot, I like the floating head. Are you doing to do a series of this, like the robots travel pics? :) Lin
