Indigo Renderer Forum

Well. I guess im just the type that likes to make things more complicated than necessary. Today, it hit me that I could just add in the background with photoshop in like 2 minutes.

I added a character model of mine in for scale. Yep, this is one big room. I know it's empty, but being an observation room, the focus would primarily be on whats outside and so I figured I should obstruct it as little as possible. .. Although a few more objects couldn't hurt.

Im still looking for some textures to give it a futuristic look. I want to make it feel like a place where humans could live comfortable.

The background here is basically that humans evacuated the earth and now live on a giant spaceship..

Nice idea but quite difficult... You should look Fx movie like "2001 a space odissey", a professionnal designer worked on "spaceship interior". Maybe you should find designed model in magazine, or maybe imagine a space eden, with grass and birds

I might be misremembering, but did 2001 have any scenes like this? I mean, what im going for a massive warehouse sized room where hundreds of people can watch the stars, etc.

Not exactlylike this you're right but there are some great designed model

Not bad, but surely you know how to reduce an image's size. 1.82 MB - you kiddin'?

Why not go for raw metal (custom phong or nk) with just bump ? I mean if you are aiming at a metallic look, a diffuse texture is not a good idea, ie use it as exponent map rather.

Sorry, for the size, stinky. I just got a new 19" monitor and Im really jazzed about it.

We all are. In fact, when the word hit the street you got yourself a nice, big monitor, everyone over here (Belgium) raced outside to start bonfires, light fireworks, etc. The whole nation was exstatic.

But still.

Update

I scraped the ugly tiling diffuse texture and replaced it with an nk/phong mix. I hope it's looking more like a place that someone could comfortably live.

noe0.: someone taught me to use jpg files instead of png files to reduce server load....

image resizing is also good. besides smaller image resolution = faster render. at this stage i dont think such a high-res render is needed.

but definitely avoid using .png's

Sorry, I just wish indigo could render to JPEGS. I'll convert it though..

For a start, that's much more readable.

A big booh for that big, heavy, noisy pic. Cleaner and smaller would be 2x nicer
