I know I may sound annoying, but do u plan on donating the model to scifi3d? Considering that mustafar is the place some people try to create in fan films, but can not. Hopefully u'll make that dream come true.... praying

Yes I think so, I am not sure if i finish that collector arm base, at this stage it could be well used as a background construction, but its not that detailed for close shots yet. Actually the details arent that big deal, it needs good texturing for close looks - I am not that good texture mapping. If anyone is up for texturing I can release it when I have more updated it.
I dont know about the terrain tho, I am going to find a way how i will get my wide, stabilizing shots done. I reached 7.5 million polys couple days ago XD, and it got very slow suddenly, but that was somewhat waste of polys too.
I have in mind of doing more places not seen in movie. And i think the fight will be also on a mountain cliff or somewhere not on building/construction.

I figured that doing fight on the same places as in the movie woulnt be that interesting.

Yes there's hope! dancing Well the thing that I liked the most was the lava dam u made. I didn't know terrain took so much polygons. But in the movie u could only see mountain terrain in the background, so don't fret about the terrain detail.

The image of the terrain i posted here was only a little over 500 000 polys. Thats not much really. But later i made more landscapes, and clone a lot so i got really huge area covered but wasted too many polys.

Does anyone use realflow here? I did couple test simulations, with not too bad animation but I coulnt figure out how to texture after importing to 3ds max. The texture doesnt move while the flow moves. Somehow export the uw cordinates from realflow?

Two quick previews of landscapes. Their not final.

Wow that's cool. I've never used Realflow, but how are the textures made? You might just want to apply a UVWwrap modifier to it and that might help.

Maybe they have support forums at RealFlow? Also.. I saw this link and thought about your question. It's a tutorial on RealFlow and it talks about materials too.

thanks zoo. I will look it through.

UW unwrap didnt work either darthvipe, still same, it like puts the texture around the flow mesh,however some of the faces appear during animation and the flow moves but the textures stay where they are. I guess i have some easy thing to fix, i ll search at realflow forums.
