warhammer 40K grey knight terminator

MartinH · Jan 2014

I've had this guy laying around my personal arts folder for ages and thought it'd be a shame not to post him, so here he is!

Inspired from reading the grey knights Omnibus book.

rendered out in Marmoset 1! Old shool...

I'll post close ups later on

This is WAY too cool to be already page 3...

Can we see more angles and some construction shots?

foredea · Jan 2014

very nicely done!

I like the detailing alot!
But I`m not a fan of the lensflares. They don`t fit in.
Mainly because they don`t lit anything. I think if the cold lights would somewhat saturate the shoulder pad and face towards the same cold blue color as the lensflares, they would fit in much better in this image.
I presume you had them added in ps?

otherwise mad skills

Repeat after me: lens flares are evil.

Having established that, you should know that the rays are caused by bright light hitting the lens, and is more visible with longer lenses and/or small apertures. The shape of the lens flare - whether the star which you (partially) have or the various bright 'spots' - is determined by the shape of the iris blades. More simply, if there are 6 blades in the aperture (probably the most typical arrangement) then lens 'stars' will have 6 rays, and the flares will appear hexagonal (or like rounded hexagons).

So... if you absolutely, positively MUST have lens flares, then increase the number of rays.

damn grey knight awesomeness good job!

MartinH · Jan 2014

I knew that lensflare was going to bite me in the ass lol. I was trying to get some volumetric light haze around the "lamps" and couldn't get a decent result any other way, i'll def. post a render without it though, just not worth the shaming.

Here's some close-ups btw. I'll get a keyshot render of the sculpt in a bit, my daughter is giving me no spare time haha.

PS, also got some weird shadow articfacts here and there, sharp edges in the shading that i cant get rid of.

Sorry for the monstrous image btw

MartinH · Jan 2014

Yes i realize now that there's a microscopic lens flare in that headshot close up, damnit i thought i had taken that off lol.

Nice texture work - did you use something like substance designer for the metals?

MartinH · Jan 2014

thanks Torch, this is all handmade the old way. I've been looking at substance designer though, it's really a great tool and I've heard some people at work are really vouching for it. I'm pretty sure I'll use it on my next personal project.
