3DDeath Star Landing

Rendered in 3dsmax Mental Ray. Glow and grain added in post. This is actually a still from an animation I'm testing out. I've only rendered about half of it so far as the rendertimes are 15 minutes per frame. Next I'll add a whole bunch of Storm Troopers waiting, but this is just a test.

    That's looking great JMoney, and you've done a real nice job lighting that thing, better than my attempts. Looks more like the subtle diffused look I had when using a skylight before I put the roof on. Looks very nice, will have to nick those lighting settings off you. Though I'd suggest perhaps adding a quite localised light source near that array hanging from underneath the TIE rack to take it out of the shadows and have it lit a little more like it is in the matte painting, but other than that it looks excellent. Can't wait to see the ranks of jiving Stormies added.

    Great work.

    Lovely picture, but 15 minutes per frame? I'd go stir-crazy...

    I've had to render upwards of 700 frames sometimes... if they took 15 minutes per frame, that'd be 10,500 minutes or 175 hours... that'd be just over a 7 day week...

    That's totally amazing!! Very nice picture and I'm sure it will be very cool animation! The reflections on the floor, this black silhouettes on the front are looking incredible. But 15 minutes per fraame... may be you should toggle all settings the way you want and use some render farm? It will take some money, but it will be waay faster.. I don't know your computer specs, though. May be you have a supercomp :) But so much continuous rendering is a big load on the computer's shoulde.. I mean, processor.

    At first, when I read the theme's name, I though you did something with the whole Death Star landing on the planet :D:D:D Just like those sphere ships of Trade Federation from the first 3 episodes...
