This looks fantastic. Love the details everywhere! Very curios to see how it will look after a material pass. :) I'm curios, do you intend to add any like vfx engine flames or such? Make it look like there's activity from the engines.
So I think the main issue that it would cause it to update every other render is because of scope. You have the script in global scope. The variable be is used in the function, but defined after it. There were a few other issues. I chopped it up and came up with this, it outputs an updated bitmap to disk every time: ( bp =…
Hey guys, I've been working on a character portrait for a post apocalyptic illustration set. I started with black and white and I think that was my big mistake, I wanted to add some color but I'm struggling a bit with the capacity of analyzing whether or not it's a worthless process... for this I'm following the tutorial…
~ That horizontal "lens flare" is that's overused in the star trek movie is called Anamorphic Light or Anamorphic Lens Flare. An anamorphic lens consists of a regular spherical lens, plus an anamorphic attachment (or integrated lens element) that does the anamorphosing. It's actually very difficult to direct with it and…
[ QUOTE ] Of course it has to appeal to a larger audience... but what i'm getting at is you can appeal to a larger audience and still remain true to the source material. You have to find a careful balance. -Getting rid of COBRA, is not making GI Joe a more appealing story. -Giving Optimus Prime flames is NOT making…
The problem with the flames for me is that there's a vortex pulling energy in at the center and you have an expanding ring of flames that converge towards a point far above the vortex. There's also the way you have the vortex pulling energy in and a slowly expanding circle of wavy things which contradicts the build up…
Be thankful, griff. People are taking time out of their day to give you feedback. PhotoSOURCING means copy-pasting from a photo. PhotoREFERENCING means copying by hand, while looking at a photo. You used the wrong word and got people confused. I don't think tRens is flaming you. His post seems legit. Your sword isn't…
You can have a flare that's usually scaled to zero and becomes visible during the second frame of the firing animation (rapid fire weapons will loop only the first two frames of the firing animation). And I think I've seen Battlemechs with similarily large autocannons (only one or two though) mounted on top so that's…
Long shot, but I'm hoping someone in this community might be able to help with a preservation project. Chromacolour (the UK-based animation supply company behind the cel paints used on films like *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*) sold three digital color palettes up until around 2012: - **Series 100** — 600 colors - **Series…
I might be completely off with this so take it with a bit of salt, I don't know much about composition. I get the feeling that when viewed from the entrance side there are some incongruences with the scene. With a bright sky like that, I would expect the flame to seem less bright (less contrast + light interference etc). I…
