"Gamer's Paradise"
As I walk through my bedroom where I play all my games
I take a look at my stack and realize it's very lame
But that's just perfect for a gamer like me
You know, I shun fancy things like mod-ability
At 4:30 in the morning I'm playin Quake
Fragging all the players online, until my hands ache... n00b
And I've been gaming and LANning so long that
Even John Carmack thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the LAN, I'm into own-zor-ing.
Got a joystick in one hand and a coke to my chin
But when I finish all my owning and you finish dieing
Then again we're gonna play, until one of us turns blind.

I've spent my whole dang life
Playin' in

Well I recently had the pleasure of meeting a matte artist who works at Industrial Light + Magic, and he offered a few tips on what is needed to make 3D look realistic. :)

One thing of obvious mention is the ambient occlusion render pass (where basically, there's shading around every bit of detail). I was sort of familiar with that, but I never really tried to employ it in any 3D shots of mine.

So, I made this picture as a bit of a test-bed for this. I've just discovered a more efficient method of generating occlusion passes now, so I'll be looking into adding these into my production pipeline. :)

Set-up and rendered in LightWave [8]
Passes composited in Adobe Photoshop

The spacedock is delicious, but I can see flat edges of the Earth.

But other than that it is real.

Wow, amazing job. Looks like it is right out of chapter 17 of my fan fic, which I am writing chapter 17 of right now.

You all make me sick! Not recognizing Spacedock from Star Trek (specifically "The Search for Spock). Except for Sacred-Light of course. I've always loved that part of any ST movie more, don't know why.

the station is really fascinating, but a little more detail on the planet would make this piece awesome!

Wow!!!! :eyepopping: That's one very nice model of a starbase. The details it has. The planet makes the piece even more complete. This is why I love Star Trek and people who take time to make such nice 3D models.

I'm gonna :+fav: this and I'm gona keep an eye on you, wouldn't want to miss another one of these beauties. :+devwatch:
