German Tank
 

Here's my creation... don't have any textures applied (only the mesh)

Greets

this is one detailed motherf..... :)
Really nice work!

//Ving

wow.. awesome detail, TEXTURES! TEXTURES! TEXTURES! :)

//Matt

DAMN o_O. It looks awesome. So many points :D. How do you align all these points so perfectly?

What do I have to configure, that these shadows are so smooth and the object looks like real plastik?

Wow! Nice detail!

It's called global illumination (GI). There is a good tutorial at the Lightwave3d.com site that will show you haow to do it.

GI
 

For this case, I put light intensities to 0% (for every light)

Next, active "Enable Radiosity" and....... ;)

Did you not make a dome around it (To use the luminosity as a source of light)?

no.....

you refer a dome made with skytracer?
made with hdri?

Yeah cool, that Tutorial an Lightwave3d works good :D.

No, look here:

This is the tutorial that tought me about GI along time ago, but I barely use it since it takes sooooooo long (I prefer fake GI). ;)

long time..... i know......

how you fake GI?
I know a fake to fake GI in a room using raytracin' but.... how you do in a landscape??

I use a classic 4-lights system (main light, back light, fill light and cenital light)

To make fake GI you just need to make a sphere of lights (it's very simple with LW 7.5).
Then you can just save the scene and when you want to add it to another scene, just go to File>>Load>>Load items from scene, and choose yes when it asks you if you want to load lights too.

This looks great! Can we get a polycount?

hey! really nice attention to detail! would love to see the textured version of this tank :)

keep it up...

# polys == around 80.000
