Here is a scene I am working on. I will be tweaking the small arms fire in the water and the bow wave to try and get them a little more realistic. I am also trying to make the explosion on the conning tower to come out better. Then I will add fog and haze and do a final render....??

looks great---really love the bullets hitting the water..cant wait to see the finished pic!

nice image and the sub looks excellent. I agree with woodhurst on the buttlets.

Thanks woodhurst and gregsin.

If this is a u-boat, then I think the sea should be several shades of grey. 0.02p

I'll see what I can do with the color. Thanks Do I have to return the change?

For a more realistic smoke try using the Volumetric Burning Tire Smoke. I know it will increase render time quite a bit but the effect is fantastic. Cool image. 8)

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't. 

A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

pretty good, i would suggest a slight POV change and maybe another plane, mostly because a single couldn't possibly drop a bomb and in the time remained for the water splash to come down to rotate around and use the machine gun :D just a nitpick, i know :D Drac

The big water splash is from another ship off camera shooting at the plane drac. Swade I just cannot get the burning tire smoke to work good here.

Kewl. A couple of years ago I was working on an all bryce version of Red October. Some day I'll get around to finishing it.

Looks cool GROINGRINDER. one thing though, I think most fighterplanes aren't purple, rather dark green or grey. Red October was cool I've read the book.

Eric: Did you see the film 'Red October'. If not you really need too. Granted that this is probably your take on the book, the film version of the sub is spectacular!

plane seems a bit small... other then that, great pic

Thanks seansan2. Over on the Rhino forum they said it was too big, so I shrunk it some.

I don't think the plane is too small, remember you're looking at a huge sub with a crew of probably 100 men or more and a simple one person fighterplane.

I think it's more likely that the watersplashes of the bullets that are too big compared to the plane and sub.

Thanks for the info Rayraz.

Bryster, yeah, its a long ways from even being close to accurate. I have the film and should crack it out some day. You can't see the drives in that shot, but they are there. GG, keep up the good work, I like your sub scene a lot.

Thanks EricofSD. I have to do my modeling in Rhino.
