Description
As everybody knows - Martians did not exist, and slow walking machines are not a very effective weapon - so let's be less serious this time :-)
Some of you probably will ask why heat ray struck old ship wreck ?
Why they did not burn the escaping boat?
Hmmm....No body's perfect....Even fancy Martians...
Previous day some of them drunk too much human blood.
After such a party, precise aiming is a hard task for Martians having hangover.
Remember, never try to drive a walking war machine, neither use heat ray the day after a party... You risk missing the target ;-))
Set, textured & rendered in Vue 5 Esprit.
Meshes created by :
Alain Gracia - lighthouse
Derrin Proctor - Martian Walkers
Helmut Shaub - motorboat & shipwreck1
Curious Labs - Low Res Casual Man
All meshes were retextured by me - I used a mix of textures and Vue 5 functions to obtain stains and aging effect.
Flames are a couple of spheres with a volumetric luminous material + point light
Smoke is only a 2D postwork (unfortunately I forgot about it before I render the scene - but you could obtain very similar effect using several spheres with fuzzy material)
Shore effect - alpha plane with painted transparency bitmap for mixing clear water and foamy water.

Excellent image. Great POV & fantastic terrain work !
Jak zwykle praca doskonala !!!!!! ;)
the shore effect is a masterpiece. (is there a possibility to get a tutorial) .........the whole picture -great as usual.
Wonderful work as ususal; like the terrain/stones and the lighthouse texture.
Beautifully & creatively composed scene with great detail work on the lighthouse, water & pretty much every aspect of the image. Outstanding work...
Great picture, perspective and lighting. Superb!
Sci-Fi humor :)) Extremely precise render and astounding work as usual Robert !
Fantastic POV. The green light ray, the fire and the smoke are wonderful. That small island is one of the best terrains I've ever seen. Your war of the worlds series are very good but I especially like this one with its humour. My! They've surely drank a lot of human blood. Maybe some of the machines that come behind the first will crash against each other. 8-) Excellent and vote.
Most excellent! POV and lighting are outstanding! Very well done!
Stunning work of art!!!...and yes nobody's perfect...
Wow... the shore effect is outstanding!!
Exceptional scene, the texturing and lighting are superb. Only unconvincing area IMHO is the more distant wavy water, a smoother, deeper looking water with the martians sunk further into it may have looked better. Still gets top marks though as all other aspects are way above excellent!
Great scene abd a I really like your texturing work! The sahore line effect is also awesome work. Vote!
Congratulations to this well done render.... shore effect is very realistic !!
