Description
The dawn patrol had been uneventful, when suddenly the two Sopwith Camels found themsleves in an unusual area....
Just a bit of fun, inspired by finding Death Star greeble blocks here:
http://www.scifi3d.com/details.asp?intGenreID=11&intCatID=52&key=756
These were imported into Carrara (from the OBJs) using the option to have different named areas as different objects. This gives you 16 blocks, which should be edited to crease edges over 50 degrees, and then placed in a grid replicator. I duplicated each block so that there were four of each in 90 degree rotations for more variation.
The Sopwith Camel some may recognise as one of the models that I talk through making in the Advanced Carrara video tutorials that I did, published by Infinite Skills and available from Daz and elsewhere.
Thanks for looking - I hope you enjoy!
Phil

something a little different from your usual renders, well done.
fantastic scene!
Very clever and creative use of the props. Those aren't the Sopwith Camels you're looking for ... move along.
i have used greeble plugin in lw...this is an awesome scene...excellent... chills and thrills
Ha, love the concept!
Looks amazing - cute idea and clever use of Carrara and the props - I'll try to track down your tutorials because Im just learning C 8.5Pro now (with some difficulty!) Just a suggestion, is to somehow get a curvature onto the death-star block arrangement to suggest the underlying sphere shape - so that the distant ends curve away and give even more dramatic and convincing perspective.
Great render, Phil! The idea is super. Excellent render too, what a contrast.
reminds me of "Star wars", cool scene
This is really funny, and an interesting idea. Thanks for the info on the greeble blocks, I'm going to pick those up right now.
HAHA! Awesome!
snerk... giggle... heeheehee... this is rich!
A slightly mixup, nice done.
Those are some good looking planes and an eye opening render. Very nice!
