so what if it's not realy art

[Dagolith]

ah picture!

so what if it's not really art, see if i care, see if i care at all!

also, i'm not just some crazy gun fan in my basement designing guns, it's for a game I'm making, a super cool mmofps yay!

[Dagolith]

whoraa! like i care what you think  

[rtil]

mmofps? this is new to me. the gun looks alright, a little bland as far as textures go but i'm sure the game has its limitations. the yellow stuff coming out of the gun which i'm assuming is supposed to be gunfire i would just get rid of at least in this render, it looks more like gatorade than gunfire.

thats a light, the barrel is just above it, and I'm trying to get better at this, besides it's all just a work in progress.  

[rtil]

oh, that's a light? probably the solid black line around it needs to go, then. and soften the edges around it. can that be done? then it might look like a light.

Um, sorry dagolith, I wasn't trying to make fun of you, I was trying to help. Sorry if I sounded that way. It's just that light emissions do not produce solid linework around them because they're not objects. If you put solid lines around light emission it looks like something you can actually pick up or has weight.

Anyway, that render is nice. It would be cool if it had some tones. Does the software produce shadows?

why yes, and refletions , oh and i was only being like 1/13 serious

[rtil]

haha, ok . look forward to future renders

[Dagolith]

whoraaaa for "Podium"!!

[Dagolith]

much better render there

ya i was useing this new program for the first time, it's got some bugs, but over all it's pretty good

[Dagolith]

ha ha! my power grows with every creation![attachment=17:attachment][attachment=18:attachment]
this one wasn't done with podium, i just used the camera function. (in podium, the image needs to be a certain length away, or else it looses sections of the image. one of the "bugs")

[rtil]

never heard of podium. i use 3ds max, mostly because i have to.

[Dagolith]

well, podium is a plug in for a 3D design program "Sketch up 5 pro" although i just downloaded the trial, and looked up a serial code for it (pfffft like i'm gonna pay $500+ for a hobby) so it was free.

[Dagolith]

what i really like about this program is that i can make some pretty good renders, in next to no time

[Dagolith]

ya I'm really pleased with the way this plugin is working out, It went from the first one you saw to this one in like 3 days.

possibly part to a level. a checkpoint probably.
heres a not as nice pic, but it has better colouring.

[2poc]

cool 3D whats the program?

[Dagolith]

sketch up pro, with podium. it's simple enough to use.

[Dagolith]

this is a new one i have made on a whim in an hour or so.

And I've managed to work out most of the bugs with podium. whoraa!
