    Make sure you share. If you won't do a 1:1 Enterprise, someone has to!

    Does Mike have a real R2D2 chained up in the shed, so he could take pictures and claim its "just 3D"? :p

    Lucas should have waited a few years . . . technology today would have made the FX for the prequels so much damn better!

    (Yeah, I know: those movies were a stepping-stone for the 3D tech of today, yada, yada, Yoda . . .);)

    I really did think that was just you showing a reference photo from Empire! Great stuff, man.:thumb:


    Oh, yes. Jar Jar would have been sooooooo much better! LOL !

    This is not a render ...
    The more I look at it the less doubt I have ! Either that or you sold your soul to that guy with the red tail :D Compared to your work the CGI efforts of Lucasarts recreating the R2 for new trilogy seem like a toddler's drawing ! (or a stormtrooper, they're also absolutely innaccurate :D)

    Simply put: This is ...simply perfect. Looking foward to your 1:1 X-wing Mike.

    Mike, you mentioned a Turntable of R2, that still happening ? ... Also one of him making his way down the Tantive corridor would be good too ... or are you focused on your X-Wing for now ?

    I forgot to take my medication again and did another pic (below), .. not as warped as usual, but felt like doing one ...

    For some reason, in that shot Chris reminds me of Marvin a la Hitchhiker's Guide.
  • ChrisGFXChrisGFX362 GermanyPosts: 607Member
    thats too funny :lol:
  • WizWiz28 Posts: 0Member
    LMAO :lol:, sadly that is probably the very thing I would ask Mike ;)

    R2 2011 is already underway, he is like the 2010 one but now with slightly more realistic metals :P

    I suppose no-one will be surprised to know I'm taking my real R2 to Death Valley, to reshoot him in the same locations as the originals... :)

    I'm about to have a heart attack and die of not surprise. (Of course he's really taking pictures that he can pass of as "CG".)

    I was devastated with that result ... I know if I pushed the envelope further, I would have passed if I added the third leg damn it ..... There's just no pleasing some people .... but I did come away with my Intellectually Challenged Certificate !! ....

    Hahahaha this is getting a bit off-topic but it's nice to see some humour outside the general discussion :D I like the R2 made out of a wooden barrell !

    "Volume 1" :D:D Love it! I have to laugh, because otherwise I might get depressed at how these parodies probably aren't THAT far off...
