Description

As everybody knows - Martians did not exist, and slow walking machines are not a very effective weapon - so let's be less serious this time :-)

Some of you probably will ask why heat ray struck old ship wreck ?
Why they did not burn the escaping boat?
Hmmm....No body's perfect....Even fancy Martians...
Previous day some of them drunk too much human blood.
After such a party, precise aiming is a hard task for Martians having hangover.

Remember, never try to drive a walking war machine, neither use heat ray the day after a party... You risk missing the target ;-))

Set, textured & rendered in Vue 5 Esprit.

Meshes created by :
Alain Gracia - lighthouse
Derrin Proctor - Martian Walkers
Helmut Shaub - motorboat & shipwreck1
Curious Labs - Low Res Casual Man

All meshes were retextured by me - I used a mix of textures and Vue 5 functions to obtain stains and aging effect.
Flames are a couple of spheres with a volumetric luminous material + point light
Smoke is only a 2D postwork (unfortunately I forgot about it before I render the scene - but you could obtain very similar effect using several spheres with fuzzy material)
Shore effect - alpha plane with painted transparency bitmap for mixing clear water and foamy water.

Hmmm, sounds like you've been getting fanatic comments, too bad. The water and rocks are exceptional work in their own right, as the base for such a well thought out scene - wow.

Nice idea, just question. If the one machine is on higher ground, shouldn't it be higher up? Their all (seemingly) on the same level. It looks like a pond rather than the ocean.

Cool scene - only you should make better water - water on the bottom part is OK, but on higher part it looks bad

podoba mi sie faktura na tej latarni ,widac cegly ,i cienie balustrady i okienka .wizja ataku na morzu przez statki kosmiczne ,ciekawy pomysl ,szkoda ze tych laserow nie ma wiecej .ciekawe spokojne morze tylko przy latarni odbijaja sie fale o kamienie ,a te statki chodza po tym morzu jak pajaki:)
