Description
Time to freak out a little bit there Bilbo...or at least invest in some fire-proof undies ! LOL
So, Thursday night my graphics card packed it in after trying to do my game level mechanics...&$#&%, it's getting repaired now and should be ready early next week, what a pain !
On the good side I was going to get a new graphics card and possibly a new motherboard when I finished my Diploma, on the bad side I only had 3 more assignments to finish...sheesh, almost made it !
Luckily my old desktop came in handy, which happens to have a new motherboard and graphics card and 6 Gigs of ram with Lightwave installed, but not much else, So this a tweaked scene from the bullet dynamics, which I re-textured the Cloth dragon, did some compositing with a ref-pic and tweaked the lights, only added the smoke and logo in Photoshop.
Anyhoo, can't wait to get my beefy PC back, finish my Diploma and keep making games !
Cheers jif3d :o)

Sorry you had some unforeseen troubles Jeff
Awesome tweaking, great outcome !
Amazing red eye, smoke and charging stance.
Great looking scene you've created.
sorry to hear about your card but happy to know that you're getting it back, hopefully very soon.
Really dramatic scene, the lighting is nicely done.
Fantastic dragon and great lighting, excellent fantasy image!
Powerful and creepy dragon, poor Hobbit ! superb lighting, great fantasy image !
Great work with the dragon!!! Wonderful scene and work!!! I am glad that your graphics card will be repaired! Good luck, Jeff!
Fabulous character and marvelous scene/composition !!!
Nicely done ! Like the lighting too.
Sounds like the dragon got a whiff of Old Toby Bilbo's been toking on!!!
Sorry of your woes, I'm sure you will prevail. Wonderful image!
BBQ'd Hobbit, be sure to wash him off good first otherwise it's too Salty....always nice to have a back-up machine, mine ain't worth more than a Doorstop now it's been raided so often.
Lucky you had a backup but I hope your repaired machine comes back quickly. Great lighting in this scene and his eye really stands out. Excellent work and you will be be pleased that you can see the end in sight with your diploma. ☺
A pity you couldn't make it to the finish line with everything in tact. Still, you got a dragon out of it!
Wonderful image my friend love the lighting :)
Never good when that happens feel for you ...This image is Brilliant.awesome lighting well done
You forgot to mention, that the old Modem gave up the ghost and we also needed to buy a new 'Router M.' YIKES and I am sure there will be more - usually is ... BTW - the stance of the Dragon is definitely nothing short of a big scare, I do remember that movie too and followed then by a hell of a lot of spitting fire, like a lava fire !
Cheers
It is always something. Great render! Hope everything gets back to normal soon or much better!!
Yeah, there are days when I want to take an axe to my pc lol. My wacom cintiq decided it would quit, so that's a $1000 down the toilet. Ah well.
Smaug was in a good mood, or Bilbo would have been a snack.
It looks like it's time to run! Fantastic work.
ROFL
Brilliant !
This is a Fantastic Render!!!
Wouldn't like to come face to face with him!!!! xx
Very cool Buddy, sweet scene....
Very cool
I just knew these marshmallows would come in handy! Now... Where to find a stick?
Ah, this really is pretty hot, and dangerous, my friend; I guess you let go out all your angry about that messing card, right? Any way I like it's attitude, what fits so well to this monster, and btw you are lucky, not needing that fire-proof undies, sitting save behind your screen! In mean while I hope everything is okay, and you almost are there, to receive that well deserved diploma, Jeff. Fingers crossed here
(LOL)
Sorry to hear about your computer issues....this image is top notch...Love it....
superb lighting and beast. hope your comp is returned promptly
studying is something I have no desire to do. between taking care of projects around the house, and playing with Poser and my time here, there is hardly any time left. I use it to eat!!! and sleep
Splendid monster!
