3DR2D2, Bespin.

Wiz

Hey guys,

I always loved the shots of Artoo in Bespin, so here is my tribute

I have some none Astromech stuff coming up soon, will give you a break

Cheers,

Wiz.

Nice, although not a fan of the grain. Doesn't look like film grain, just a simple PS noise overlay. Also, what is it with you and tiny resolutions? Go huge man!

Wiz

Haha, I know I will look to do desktop versions, and take a look at the noise (as it was pretty much is a simple noise overlay in PS). Thanks

evil_genius_180

Agreed on the noise. The rest, however, is awesome. It looks like a still from the film. Great work as usual. :thumb:

Wiz

OK a higher res version, and worked on the noise, trying to get the film grain look (hopefully its better?)

personaly i say say dump the grain altogether, camera and effects technology has improved vastly since the poriginal trilogy was made, take advantage of that. cool image otherwise.

DCB

Looks too heavy to me still. I'd change the size, give it some healthy blur, and drop the opacity a few notches.

As for the res, more, MORE!

evil_genius_180

Some grain is good, but I agree that it still looks heavy. The problem is, you build such fantastic models that we want to see them without all of that going on.

Wiz

Thanks for all the feedback guys, very much appreciated

I was pushing for a production still effect (akin to the behind the scenes shots, and to note some of the noise is from the render itself - short render time; so need to increase that), but on that note I am doing a more detailed version of the Bespin corridor and doorway so will re-render a much higher res (cleaner) version soon Thanks again!

Cheers,

Wiz.

Wiz

OK one last update before I go away and rebuild the corridor and wotnot (is this more in the right direction?)

Thanks again guys, the feedback is great and really helps me to improve!

IRML

in my opinion decent film grain is all about the way it's blended, you can set up a log colour space to add your noise so it blends differently depending on the brightness of the background

Wiz

Thanks IRML, doing some research into all of this now so any further help/advice gratefully received

evil_genius_180

That looks great, the noise level is about perfect, in my opinion.

Wiz

Phew, finally

Thanks guys

DCB

Now all you need to do is fix that lousy resolution....

ditto. Lovin' it. Maybe you can fedex me that R2 when you're done, eh? :P

Wiz

Haha, sorry mate, way to close to my Artoo to let him go out on his own

BolianAdmiral

That looks nice. I agree that I'd drop the grain, but the level you have it in the last pic is decent.

Wiz

Thanks and yeah definitely happier with the levels in the last pic.

Slightly off topic, but I love the Lego Grand Admiral Thrawn avatar.
