This one is very very good! I just don't like the texture, ARGH, it's sooo 'crooked' and all. Just change UV mapping it'll be great Also, the image is blurry, looks like you resized a small-res render. But it's awesome anyway, gl! =)

very nice work

very nice!

thanks,wlado, done my best

Fabulous work

Excellent entry!!

great job

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats as usual, Billy

Wonderful...congrats on 2nd!!!

nizeee.. i dont know anything of 3D but is there anyway to make the wood look more real?, i mean it looks like its made of one piece.. while a ship is made of planks?

wow!!!!!!

KingRafox, a reald gold comment. Now the ship is made from planks.

beautiful and very good

Really nice render on the ship! The cannons are too large, and they made a lot of smoke when fired, but good work.

Thanks, CMYK. Made cannons smaller and add some smoke with fire effect and two atmospheric gizmos in max. Im not very happy with Max effect, if anyone help me with an idea for 3 D smoke really appriciate.

Nice modeling love all the little details you have added top job!

Take a look at this maybe of some help

The only way I know is either particle based, but you would have to render seperate and composite or in MAYA there are paint effects you could use, I am not sure MAX has the same tools.

youpee, it works ! Thanks Dante and Warlock. I used a Pclouds particle and a material made upon tutorial indicate by Warlock, just adapted to a V-Ray mtl. Grateful. Get crazy when i think is a 10 secunds photoshop work. 3D life is tough.

yeah looking gud.. from the high resolution image i guess u didnt use the indirect illumination..i.e no light bounces and perfect shadows appear..so do have a check on that and with the fire effect it does nt look like fire

Thanks. Ramananjv, I've checked settings of final render and the only light with shadows, a Direct as sun. GI is open but if you have time see new step 15 and if is smtg wrong pls let me know. As for fire effect...finally I didnt use Max Fire, looks really crap, on the cannon i have only an omni light with Lens Effects and the smoke effect.

really cool ship. i think it looks a bit plastic tho.

Very, very good model! Just please put the sky and tweak lighting a bit, and it'll be awesome! =)

thanks, can do nothing more here, scene is too heavy and v-ray crash every single change. is my last contact with v-ray

very nice!

Excellent lighting properties. Nice job, author!

This is fabulous! Great work!

Very cool - except what you have is a schooner (two masts) which had a completely different kind of hull. You need a third (smaller) mast at the back.

Thanks. Kyricom, there is a third mast on back, is broken and in its way to fall.

Oh yes, I see now. Sorry. Might consider having the base of the mast stick up a little higher to make it more noticeable. Nice

Lelaina ?

Hmmmm, very very intgeresting approach! I like the style, tho I'd use a slightly bigger field of view for the camera, and maybe a bit more contrast. GL!

Nice, I like it

I like it. I'm not sure if the right tower should be leanjing like that but still a very good entry.

Thanks for comments. wlado, reduce the blur. camera angle is set to match as much as possible the source.jawshoewhah, i'm not sure if my tower will stay vertical in real life .floor shapes look simples but actually are very sophisticated

good use of your 3D program ....

And congrats as usual again, Billy

Congrats!

congrats

congrats!

Congrats!!

congrats.

Looks good. I like it! The details and the various objects makes the scene come to life. I also like the fact that you've done a detailed SBS that clearly shows your work!

I don't know about 3DS Max's capabilities, but It may look even better with better shadowing (for example "Final Gather" Global Illumination, with the window as the main lightsource). You could also use focal blur the bars. And adjust the cameras focal length to cover more of your work! But that's just my opinion. Good job anyway!

dka, 5 seconds before reading your comment I' ve noticed that I forgot to switch on the V-Ray shadow on the key photometric light. Tonight my brain and my CPU are burning. I shall try a new render tomorow. Thanks, great minds think same way

About the lens coverage. I' ve work on cm measure units. All room have exactly 6 x 2,5 meters, like a real prison cell. I wish to suggest a real straight space.

nice job

Very nice, looks like a bad prison

great

great rendition of a cell (note - normally, garbage cans are not allowed inside the cell, just a bunk, toilet/sink, and a desk area, everything made out of metal and steel....and rather than cups and what not, you'd probably see commisary products there, like snacks, deoderant, toothpaste, and hey, you can even buy Nike's in jail!)

LOL, spygirl, maybe on american' s prisons. Truth is I never seen the interior of a prison. And i dont want to For this pic i think to some descriptions from Dostievski' s memories.

nice dream lol its very nicley done

Very cool!

nice.......the pot in the corner must be the crapper....lol

brings back memorys

very good job

I would say it is off theme in a way---that is unless you like prison!!!

oh wait, why wouldn't be a dream? You can get 3 meals everyday and watch TV and have FREE weight room and............because you did something wrong. hmmmmmmm maybe it is a dream to some with nothing.
