| | | Hi all, Recently I was looking through the CSF stampunk inspirations galleries and found (URL) this picture>. I thought this was pretty cool since it combined a train, some town and some pipes. Rather than using it for inspiration, I decided to (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

| | | | | (...) The billboard is a bit weak but everything else rawks! It would be cool if we could get coppery colored elements... (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) We can get coppery elements, just not many. The copper actually is sand red but it went funny from the shadows/radiosity in the render. As it is, it's similar to the copper you get in the Vikins sets. As for the billboard, I tried really hard (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Very nice theme crossover creation. I like all the pipes and whatnots. Good color selections too. Jonathan (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) That's a pretty decent rendition, although I think there's too much gray. Also, that sign on top with the chinese character looks a bit weak. I've done some (URL) kanji signage> myself, and I would have probably done only the bottom half of (...) (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | Thanks for your comments Kevin. (...) It's not Kanji, it's Thai :P More seriously though, the writing is only four bricks wide so I had to decide where to compromise. Because I'd used the Star Wars tiles for characters on the poster I decided to (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) You can't fool me! Thai has all those "n"-looking letters. What you should've done is do the poster up with just the letters in the ad. It says "Milk Caramel", and leaves us to wonder why a soldier would be used to advertise candy... (...) (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Excellent job. Contrary to other opinions, the billboard is really great in my opinion. But here's where I take issue with this... You clearly spent some time putting that model together, but it doesn't look like you spent nearly enough time (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for your comments Adrians. I actually did spend some time on the render and got it looking pretty much exactly as I wanted (it is slightly changed for version II but not much). I was going for a render that looked something like a cross (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

My intention was more in line with: "wow! that's really impressive--it deserves a really amazing render!" Anyhow, my email server is down and apparently losing (...)

| | | | | | | OK. Now that you've posted, those you have to tell us what you did to get that "gritty" effect! BTW, Cool, model Tim : ) (...) (19 years ago, 17-Dec-05, to lugnet.space)

| | | | | | | | (...) There are two ways I achieve a "gritty" effect. The first and easiest is to open the render in Photoshop or GIMP (which is free software, and wonderful btw--everyone should download a copy), then add a new layer and fill it with greyscale (...)

| | | | | | (...) No problem. It was 1am when I responded and I was tired. Interestingly enough that render seems to have divided opinion. (...) Very, very nice. I've put the one you emailed me up in the gallery and I'll add these too if you email them to me. (...) (19 years ago, 17-Dec-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
