Something inspired by Empires

Here's little something that I made last night in three hours(two of which went into rendering) with Blender, Indigo and The GIMP.



C&C is a fun game... :D But give me still some comment & critique.

 

okay, what exactly are those and why is there a random puddle of mud?

It confuses me so greatly

-Sheepe

 

:D Quickly mocked up grenades/bombs and a glass clip with some bullets and a buddle of blood, which for some reason turned out black. I still need to fiddle around with the indigo settings... And there doesn't seem to be too much contrast, oh well it's an unbiased GI render, so I guess it's that...

I guess I'll rebake the fluids and do some other stuff... Back to the drawing board! :D

 

A pool of blood should not be so lumpy. :p

Also keep in mind that blood tends to splatter, so if you can get a little of that in there, it would look great. And I'm not sure about Blender's rendering system, but that speckling makes me want to turn up the accuracy in Final Gathering (XSI FTW).

 

i like the chrome effect on those shells.

 

Dumby, it's rendered with Indigo, not Blender internal. :p Indigo is like Maxwell renderer. Unbiased, slow, but makes very natural lighting. I tried to reduce the noise a bit, but it's only a two hour render. The "blood" is done with the fluidsimulation, it baked for half an hour and I didn't feel like finetuning it. But like I said back to the drawing boar.

As for the materials I'm using presets for silver(bombs/grenades), gold(bullets) and copper(the casings). Felt like goofing around.

Indigo is a bit hard app to use since it has no UI so things come with trial and error...

 

i made the kitty in my avi in maya :D

my first model lol (kinda)

 

I thought it was a very nice cowpie you rendered there.

 

Hey, don't call me dumb! Just because I didn't know if Blender had built-in rendering or not is no reason to call me dumb.

You're mean.

 

Yeah, I don't think blood is that thick :D It looks pretty good other than that.

 

Okay okay... I'll fix it, I'll fix it. Just give me some time. :D

 

easy fix: just call it grease not blood.

 

Kirov bombs?

 

Lol exactly what I thought :D

 

Kirov Airships save the day, every day.

 

:p Mmmm... Kirov Bombs...

 

Kirov Airships are closer to heaven then god.

 

I tried to rush an American base with Kirovs... Half of them blew up too much Patriot Missles >.< But the rest (4/8) Pretty much destroyed every living organism in that section of the map :D

 

How many Kirov's did you use? Probably not enough! I like using 20. Yep. From 3 sides, 6-6-8. The 8 attacks their heaviest front. If you have the micro, you can destroy their whole base without them being able to do anything, extremely fast since they will focus on the 8 (you send it in first).

 

twenty blimbs? by the time you had made that, I would have crushed you, had tea, made love your girlfriend, and have finally managed to get sleep next to a jackhammer.
