I been trying to learn new rendering types This render took 1/2 hours , it's and old model with many mistakes by the result looks ... I hope you like it , I used a HDRI image with global illumination. Tell me what you think about the effect. ( Maybe I shoud post this in the model kit building forum ) Mod ( Sorry for the big image)

Cool Dude !

Nice drawing >EXO< ! You must do some more. Here is a pic of what happened to my Gualg on the weekend - Still lots to do , but it's starting to look like nice

Joseph the pictures are great ! Thanks all Keep em coming guys ! I'll see how far I get this weekend - but if anybody has an "enemy" CG to post we can make this the Macross "enemy" CG post thread. <_<

I have taken a break from the valk's for a wee bit - So I used the Nanashi's info to create legs and guns so far , the rest still needs some work. I am looking for color pictures of a Gaulg in action Can anybody help- please post them here . Thanks

I like it ! Nice job , Tenjin's getting competion !

Thanks Guys I remember the HUD "thing" WOZ - thanks

Good work Mechmaster , that Spartan looks great ! WOZ , nice ! WIP I did a HUD "Display" - what do you think ? I am not sure of all the colours and if there is to much colour , this is quick render in rhino without the glass shown Let me know - Thanks

Last pic

WIP After seeing Aztek pilot's chair , I started looking at colour in the cockpit and fitting the pilot I still need to do work on the colours used inside the cockpit and the HUD.I also had to redo parts of the chair , ergonomics was way out If there is any nice refrence that shows a HUD layout (Picture in the HUD)in colour please post it , I know DOC had a very nice one on the old thread. If you have any suggestions let me know

Looking good !

Nice seat update Looking good !

Stunning animation !

Vic - If you can afford a good book the best I have used is "Mastering Maya 3 " or 4 or 5 . I am still learning to use Maya 3 I am trying out some "weathering" looks ( I like the clean look , but as seen in most photos aircraft doesn't stay new so...) Let me know if is too much or not enough or may be it sucks

WIP for helmet , I used the refences from Aztek and Doc I personally like the DYRL helmet better , but this will grow on me.

It quite amazing to see that all the guys here have the same type of problems- ie grey/white colours . Even if you specify the colour as white , is stills render greyish If I get it white it's too white , if you get it grey it just doesn't seem right . I like the colours used on the F-14 as shown in the photo's that "mighty gorgon" picked. There doesn't seem to be concensus on colours grey or white , all I know is the valks on this forum rocks ...red ,blue ,grey and even white! Doc - It looks fantastic , even if it is the first render test ,

Thanks all I will start "upgarding" asap !

The pilot is comming along nicely -

Thanks Aztek The helmet in the pictures is a nice "upgrade" to the older helmet I have seen in other pics. Looking at that backpack , bring a lot of questions to mind .......?

Forgot picture ......

Hi I am starting on my pilot , I used a poser model of a biker to get pose and shape and now i am builing the rest around him . I have a question - Is the shoulder "pads" decrotive or is there some funtion ? I have never seen a pilot from the back is there something special at the back ? If there is any nice refrences please let me know Thanks

To me that detail on the VF-0 looks fantastic ! Can't wait to see the finished model

Mechmaster that looks awsome The detail is stunning !

I now there is still some colour issues , lights on the wings and legs not right but ...... Does the flaps look correct .....? <_< What does the valk experts think ?

Hi Les Can I still add to poster , I know I am just a tad late , but I think I can add my valk now - Do I need to render with specific spec - I remember something ..... Thanks
