thx, i may try to do a Gunbuster high-poly 3d model, non-transformable. Just gathering pictures now.

What is the most visually accuracted Gunbuster toy? Can anyone point me where i can find good pics of it?? thx!

Star Dragon asked for some boots, since i already had some boots models, i rendered it at almost the same position, then copy and pasted on top of it. I just adjusted the boots(colour, contrast, brightness, levels) so it would meet the same results(or almost) as the rest of her body when multiplied with the red colour. Did 2 layer copies of the entire body final image, without the backgrounds. I changed the perspective at one of the copies, then motion blured both. Final result with all layers on.

Tutorial First step is to own a rigged 3d model. I guess the most dificult one XD Then all you need to do is pose it... ... and render. Now i photoshoped the rendered image, so it would have better colours and facial proportions. Ariel's uniform is tight to her body (don't know the right word for it), so i just painted some layers with the colours i wanted, then all you need to do is multiply it with the bellow layer. I outlined the image, so it wouldn't look 100% CG. Did a sketch of her hair... ... then did some polishment to it. All you need to do is use the smudge tool and have some time doing it, using a tablet can make things a lot easier. Using automatic blur tools(gaussian blur etc..) won't give a good output. Now i just used some background i already had. Changed it's colours by changing the hue. Did some of the smaller details at her face.

sorry! now it has macross! Just for Star Dragon: Ganbare, still have to do the tutorial...

Thx to all! Sorry i didn't know she was wearing boots, from RT:SC it seemed as if it were stockings. Which one of them would be better: As for the body, i can't do much to change...

Thx!!! It is 3d.. Basically i rendered my base model, then photoshoped it. It was easy and fast to do. This the final:

Ok i did a RT fanart , don't know if it really should stay here. Not finished yet, have to make hair match the rest. Just testing some new techniques doing a roboc...tech character, if anyone wants i could do a step by step tutorial how to achieve the same results... RTPAINT0001

Older photoshops are faster, but the CS4 has some good new features... and it is acelerated by opengl.

That's a good alternative, but wouldn't work for me.

What was in the end????

I must say that Minmay doll in chinese restaurant dress is impressive!

If my artwork can't be acepted can i send other i have????

Sent my stuff... just did something fast...

"but I blew it when I said that the guys over at Harmony Gold takes storylines they don't like and put them in the robotrash." corrected! also was banned from rt.com just because i like macross better.

if i saw it earlier i could have done something...

The same thing again!!!!

Already watched the cam. Seems they changed completely the story... Now i will be just waiting for the BD-rip.

Torrent with the last 26 minutes is out! But the quality is really bad...

The real is the girl from the right. Her eyelashes seems natural. Not that there aren't girls who uses fake eyelashes. It is just that the robot must be the one using fake ones!

Actually i use the automatic "physical sun and sky" creator with MR+FG. I don't know too how to use advanced rendering stuff.

I really hope someone records it!!! Without cuts!

Zentsuit. Left for someone to finish it

I'm currently at episode 4 of Genesis Climbe Mospeada. I wonder how is the crap Harmony Gold made to fit it with Macross. It is a good series, probably ruined by HG.

Look!! An airplane crash!!!! -silently goes away... This thing is really a pain in the ass to do... Far away from being done... I'm not saving poly, but so far only 4k. Please don't say: "oh noes, you did the DYRL unit, i wanted the TV series one!" -edit- "forgot emoticon"
