Recently I've been working on a highly detailed 3D project. I wanted to make the most detailed GDI Titan model ever. After I finished that, I wanted to put it in a scene and render a photorealistic result, where the good old atmosphere of Tiberian Sun would live up once more. I'm currently working on that part, and it is far form finished as I make more and more details. Currently I'm working on some Tiberium blossom trees for the canyon scene, as well as actual tiberium crystal models. Also I need to make the textures for the cliffs, and some additional rocks. Plenty of work to do!

I want to share some of my work I completed so far. So here it is. Enjoy!

This is a very fast render for the scene as i have it right now. You can see there is still a lot to be done. The cliffs don't have textures yet and I'm not content with the lighting either. It is beginning to get the atmosphere tough..

This is a fast ambient oclussion render I did so all the details are nicely visible. I know it's grainy, I set the AO rays to a very low setting.

This is one of the composited renders of the titan so far. Maybe I will add more detail still.

Very cool. Should stick a Banshee or Harpy in that sky space attacking one of them.

ahh Stingerr how are you, its been a while?

It's looking nice

Things I can suggest

1. Tone down the noise normal/bump map on the titan and the ground. I think it needs toning down and/or scaling down.

2. I'm not sure what rendered you are using (vray?) but add some volumetric lighting to the Titan headlights. It will look great (and maybe darken the environment lighting to further emphasize this).
If not remove the self illumination from the light material for day scenes

Anyway keep up the good work!

Hey SMIFF,

True it has been a while Smile. Very busy here haha.

The bump mapping is just how I like it actually.. Adds to the detail of the model. I think it gets dull when I tone it down. Don't know if I'm right here but that's just how I feel about it.

I use Mental Ray for rendering. The lights use a mentalray pointlight, but I think I'm gonna play some with volumetric like you suggested.

Thanks!

The Titan is about 220.000 polygons. The cliffs are about 600.000.

The only thing that bugs me on the Titan are the "toes" on the feet. It seems somewhat odd to have a very angular object with hard turns in the geometry and then have a rounder "toe" that seems somewhat out of place. This is more of a technical and compositional comment, so take it for what you feel it is worth.

Oh wow how much time did it take to make the titan model only ? 2-5 days ?

Stingerr, always surprising me with cool shit #Tongue

It looks fantastic, bro. I'm very impressed.

Wow, very cool work.
The detail is great.

Though it still has a bit artificial look on it.
-textures should have dirt, rust and a more weathered look. especially along the edges, which are most exposed to nature
-the material looks a bit like plastic. i would suggest a more metallic/polished material
-as Regulus said, the toes don't fit. Angular would be better.
-the turret could be a tad more detailed, like the visible separate armor plates (ablative armor) on the legs.
-the round lamps look very old school and out of place imo (you should change them to something more modern, maybe even place the turret one closer to one of the hatches and give it some kind of handle, so the driver/gunner can manually control it
-the U shaped metal plates (the ones mounted with 4 rivets) holding the barrel could be a bit thicker. The barrel is supposed to slide in them to counter the recoil, and with the current thickness they are very fragile looking.
-as said already, the bumpmap is a tad too strong. tone that down and add a speckle map to add a few cracks and dents here and there.

\EDIT
-the ankle joint could be a bit bigger. It looks quite fragile for such a heavy mech. A robust hydraulic damper behind the ankle would be a nice detail too.

All I can add is that the ground looks very flat. Otherwise, suberb work.

Looks complex, I'm too attached to VXLSE_III to find a better 3D animation program. I wish I had your level of skill and a better 3D program, but I don't think I have the time or patience to learn a new program.

Fantastic artwork. Surprised

I love the tiberium plants.

Only the cliffs in the background look a bit too metallic (less specular intensity and a tad more rough bumpmap would be good).


How long did that took to render?

not a fan of the cliffs, they dont look like natural rock formations at all.

and that light post looks really out of place

But other than that it looks nice Smile

Body looks good, the gun barrel needs more detail, at the moment it's just a chromed metal tube. There'd be some wear towards the rear where it recoils and returns to battery inside the buffer mechanism, and the muzzle would be a bit dirty etc from firing residue. or, on an easier note it's just too perfectly clean/smooth compared to the rest of the vehicle, especially the lovely rough texture on the hull armour panels.

Best of luck with this, btw.

With some photoshopin', this could be turned into one awesome wallpaper.

This.
Stingerrr, how hard would it be to render it in a bigger size, say 1920x1080, and upload it somewhere? Might give it a shot if you don't mind #Tongue

The original size is 1920 x 1200 pixels. Took 24 hours to render. Mostly because of the fog and lights interacting. I could upload it here, but please credit me whenever the image is used.

It's awesome!
This is the highest quality CG of TibSun I've ever seen!
