Nice--how long did it take to render? I can still see some rough edges on the plane...

Thanks!

Thanks nc...I used the quick render option...only a few seconds. I'll try it in superfine but it'll take hours maybe.

Edit 20 minutes later...rendered with normal AA (one minute thirty!) no jaggies. Same link, sorry about that!

I notice some radial banding on the jpg...optimised max in photoshop...not nice.

The bmp is as smooth as a cucumber but wieghs in at a heavy 5 megs!

2 options. In an image editor...select the glider really tight/inverse selection/blur maybe 1.5 pix.

Or...I upload the 5 meg bmp.

Sorry about this...but it looks sweet without any optimisation.

More beer landlord!

i like it bh2, but maybe you should blend the plane into the clouds , it jus looks like the plane is pasted on a background.

Thanks idunno22... but the glider model was rendered 'in scene' so it's in its 'real' environment as a model.

I may add some flare and haze.

The glider is my first real go at modelling something i needed instead of fishing around for a ready made. Took about half an hour to model! It'll probably pop up from time to time, the Alpine version gives a better view of it...hehe!

The banding may be an issue with my clapped out graphics card (Gforce2 mmx).

Ooo, fantastic hue

What program did you use to model/render this?

I'm trying out modo at the moment O_O...

Hey deelo...I made it to go with your fantastic iTunes Crimson...goes with a shed load of other skins too now we have colourisation thanks to localhost. Your 'Glacier/Blue/Black' skin colourises just nicely!

Keep it up matey skip!
