Author Topic: My latest Photoshopped starship models. Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       I'm learning Photoshop and have decided to use it to add backgrounds to some of my Starship models. What do ya think? Feedback is welcomed of course. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1755600&uid=657989&members=1 -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Masao doesn't like you either Member # 232 posted                       The lighting on the ships don't match the lighting of the backgrounds. The ships are all lit from the front, but the backgrounds have a variety of light sources, some even in the picture itself. The models look great, though. No apparent mesh errors (j/k) -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Yeah...I pretend there is at least one other star in each photo! Lots of Trinary systems it seems... It's difficult for me to get good detail effects with the camera when they are lit from behind to match most backgrounds: the ships become silouttes. The new stuff from the Hubble site is helping in this area though....the Merrimac over Jupiter is a new example. Got any ships from the other albums you'd like to see with a background? -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Aban Rune Former ascended being Member # 226 posted                       The thing with these scenary shots, though, Jason, is that you won't always get a ton of detail. Nature is sometimes quite skimpy on detail. At the very least, you'll need to lower the levels on the ships to help them blend in with your backgrounds. I'm all for sweet detail shots, but if you're trying to do scenic shots, you'll need ot lose some of the detail. -------------------- "Nu ani anqueatas" Aban's Illustration The Official Website of Shannon McRandle Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Yeah, I've noticed that too. The ships actually look more "correct" with images from the Hubble than they do with CGI starscapes. I'm hoping to add more Workbees to the shipyard scene though.... That's a great Workbee model: I'll have to get some shots with the manipulator arms attached too. Got any ships you'd like to se me attempt Aban? I need to make a better Ageian pic for sure! -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Aban Rune Former ascended being Member # 226 posted                       I'm itching to do work on a Steamrunner and that Antares Class from the other thread... TOS version, baby! Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       That Steamrunner cutaway is sweet.... Alas, I ave no TOS ships or plans to do any: they just would look silly with the Dominion war era fleet. -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Masao doesn't like you either Member # 232 posted                       How about some nice old ships from the Starfleet Museum? -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       I'd have to build them first and I've already got to finish the Wolf 359 mystery ship, 2 Nebulas and the big freakin' 22" Dominion Battleship! All that before Wonderfest in June. Any particular design from the museum? I like the TOS looking ships over the gaudily colored things myself.... -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Masao doesn't like you either Member # 232 posted                       There's about a dozen pre-TOS Federation Starfleet designs, most of them pretty small. Take your pick! -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged
