Render change

For a long time i tried to make my models better, i tried tutorials and different types of modeling. Then i decided to do tutorials and experiment with rendering techniques. It turns out that that was the missing link, i made this simple dock model and tried the new render settings.
Both renders have exactly the same elements only the render settings are changed.



Nicely leveled light








Sharper images









More details
















These are just the New render settings.

NEW Cases

My new CD cases arrived for my showreel (i love HongKong), not only are they thin for posting but there not the usual (its good to be different).

I printed a lable to see how it would look, though there perfect on my screen there a bit dark printed.

Sanctuary

I decided to give "sanctuary" a try and the actor who plays Todd in SGA is in it playing two separate characters and he uses his Todd voice for both, one with his real face....its odd.

Basically the program is based around a facility run by Amanda Tappings character called the sanctuary were she house creature needing shelter, helps the one who have problems and imprisons the dangerous ones. She recruits a doctor of forensics and phycology for he impressive observational skills and he unrealized ties to the creatures she protects. along with Tappings daughter, a techy caretaker and a big foot butler they go out into the world investigating, trapping and containing monsters.

So much CG, not really for the creatures but almost every bit of the set and allot of the environment. Most of it is benign background CG and can go unnoticed but some elements are on the screen far too long for you to not realize it and allot of the "Hero assets" could do with a bit more work though they could argue that it is ment to seem magically unnatural.

Additions:

I keep seeing plot points and even a whole episode stolen from stargate



(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)(SPOILERS)

Quick summary of my thoughts so far to be updated when i watch new episode or if I remember something worth noting.


Episode 1-2

It was a fair introduction, while still leaving questions unanswered to keep you wanting to know. It was a bit predictable with some of the story elements but i was entertained anyway.


Episode 3

A bit vanilla but introduces some shadow villains.


Episode 5

When you think about how much this episode would cost they did amazing entertainment to cost.

I Liked the "who dun it" approach but it seemed to end abruptly compared to the buildup.

Icarus base

For anyone who dosnt know icarus base if t facility that is destroyed in the first episode of Stargate Universe, I had a unexpected day off ad that to the fact steve mentioned maya and me a liam were talking about SGU last night I decided it was a good opportunity for a bit of practice.

Icarus base is only show briefly and in small parts so i have enough imagery to figure out what everything is suppose to look like but have plenty of artistic license.

Obviously i didn't get the whole thing done in a day though, this is were im at:
