Skullsixx Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I got a big kick outta that Ataria Island shot.. very cool! The after burner pic came out great too. If I may suggest, tone down that light blue under the nose, etc. Otherwise... nice job!!! Quote
Dante74 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Nice! Only the jets have the shadow on the wrong side. Look at the shadow on the van in the foreground to get an idea of where the sun is. Very cool nonetheless... Noted. I'll change it as soon as I have time to do so. I got a big kick outta that Ataria Island shot.. very cool! The after burner pic came out great too.

Help me out here, I'm colorblind and I haven't got a clue what light blue under the nose you're talking about. Quote
sketchley Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I'm just guessing, but maybe he means the bluish highlights along the underside of it? On the nose, missiles, and most of the white parts. Quote

Zinjo Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Yeah the highlighting on the nose area and underside implies a light source in front of the fighter which is not present in the background which is in fact, a cloudy morning, probably at early dawn...

Dante74 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I've made the nose, rockets and wheels a little darker on both images. Now I'm ready to move on to something new. How are those in flight renders coming along? j/k Take your time Jason. I really appreciate you taking the time to do these renders so we can have all this Photoshop fun. Quote
Jay-Lew Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Started working on the pilot ( mesh courdesy of scott8539 ). Did a few adjustments to the mesh, and got him rigged ( although the rigging setup needs a little bit of tweaking still ). Still need to make textures for him though. Here is a preliminary render. Later! Jason Quote
scott8539 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 if you want i can send you the new helmet and vest i got from rodavan.got them poserized to fit that guy.if its alright with him i'll send it. Quote
Zinjo Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I would suggest that you keep any color coding off the helmet and leave it as white. This allows any Photoshoper to be able to color the helmet as they see fit. This way we are not "stuck" with a Roy, Hikaru, Max or Kakizaki color coded helmet. Even with a shiny surface it is easy to re-color so long as the base is white. Something to consider. Quote

Even with a shiny surface it is easy to re-color so long as the base is white. Something to consider. I disagree. If it was a Roy, Hikaru, Max or Kakizaki VF it would have been white anyway. As this is a CF it should be piloted by a CF pilot. BTW: I do hope Jason will take the time to create hero versions of a couple of renders somewhere down the line. Quote

BTW: I do hope Jason will take the time to create hero versions of a couple of renders somewhere down the line. #1 Yes that is correct! It's my online gaming handle. I use it cause it's quite embarassing to get killed by someone who calls himself "Man Muffin!" #2 By Hero versions do you mean Fokker's Vf-1S / Hikaru's VF-1J / Max's VF-1A etc etc ? If so, then the answer is Yes, I will eventually make those versions, just not sure when I can get around to it. Quote
Mike Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Hi Jay-Lew, Is there any chance you can provide me high-res versions of some of your images (1900x1200 at least, bigger is better) for a project? Edited February 1, 2007 by Mike Quote
Skullsixx Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I found this today online. Kinda cool. Quote

Mowe Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Wow, very beautiful PS works everyone!!! After a long break from my 1/60 Yamato VF-0S Photoshop Bash-kit Job, I did a bit more work to it today. Very happy with the progress with the weathering. Click HERE to see previous progress pics. Please post any comments if you have other ideas or technique I can try. [attachmentid=40573] Edited February 18, 2007 by Mowe Quote
Dante74 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I just saw the your thread and that's some nice Photoshop work there. I wish a real Yamato VF-0 could do that kind of posing. Quote
Mowe Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Ah!!! You hit the bull's eye!!!! I started this project a while back because I was frustrated that the VF-0S wouldn't do this pose but VF-1 can (see below). At the time, I thought Yamato had gone backward with the poseability, so I took the matter in my own hand. Actually, my recent whinnying and b itching of Yamato on other threads had propelled me to restart this project… heh…heh…it is my own little way to correct Yamato’s less than perfect toys… Original Inspiration...........Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Super (no photoshoping) [attachmentid=40574]..............[attachmentid=40575] I just saw the your thread and that's some nice Photoshop work there.

They look amazing! The heat effect and lighting is very very nice. I know you said you're over it and ready to move it, but if you chose to revisit the pic, a 'squat' nosegear position in the first pic could really top it off. Once again, beautiful pics. Saved.

GutsAndCasca Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 What a great thread! Nice work, everyone. *two thumbs up* Quote

Mark Thanks! You have a good point, the front gear should squat a bit. Although I don't plan to revisit that particular image, I am ready to do new one. All I need is a good picture to fit a render into. Quote
Jay-Lew Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Hey all! Been busy with other projects lately, but will hopefully have time here soon to get back to finishing my VF-1 and back to working on my SDF-1 and Macross city. In the meantime, I got sick of my current VF-1 desktop so I whipped up a new one for mtself and thought I would share it with all of you if you would like. I have a larger one than this, full 1600 x 1200, but I cannot get it to upload to this forum, so I fanyone would like the higher res version, and knows how to get it to upload, please let me know. Thanks! Quote

Dante74 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Well I am feeling like doing some Photshopping, so if I can find a decent pic to use I might just post something new here in the couple of weeks. Quote
