Edi: Poly count so far is 87702

 

Nice! Keep going, not much time left!

 

Thanks Dave!!!

Also I have learnt how to render in much bigger sizes so expect some much bigger render like:
1665 X 1285( My personal preference)

 

If you're going to render "big" you may want to consider rendering to 1920x1080.
This is the resolution of the HD cameras used to shoot ROTS.

 

I havent taken your advice beacuse imageshack wouldent take the Hi-res renders (Too Big lol)

Updates: Added roof and detailing, I have also added some new materials to the model:

Edit: Had to re-render the images beacuse Imageshack won't take files over 1mb

 

Updates: Added door at the end of corridor, Added smoothing and beveling

Had to do take screenshots because blender make all the wireframe renders really dark

Current poly count is 142952

Only 4 days left guys, The model is basically finished, another update tommorow, then the final renders

 

Nice work! I noticed that our msn conversation appeared in those screen shots

 

Lol, Expect the final renders by tommorow or Sunday guys!

 

SCI-FI 3D EPISODE III ROOM/LOCATION MODELLING COMPETITION

Entry by: Laurence Hurwitz Bremner (Lightsaber_Monster)

Subject: Coruscant Docking Bay

Description: The Location where Obi wan says goodbye to Anakin before going to Utapau find General Grievous

I have made the model as close as I can to replicate the Model in ROTS, every part of the model seen in ROTS was made (Even an extra door was added) the model was made in about a week and a half, you may need to change the specularity of the model a bit to make it look more real, The sections of the model including the parts of the floor can be extended indefinately by duplicating them

Images: I have rendered some nice big 1024 X 576 images for you and angles that you can compare to the movie:

Great work Laurence! The model itself is excellent, but it would look better with some better lighting and tesxtures!

 

Bumpety Bump

 

It looks awesome!

I will edit this message for more renders ASAP

 

Doesn't Blender have Global Illumination now? Try rendering it with GI lighting.

 

Im not sure if blender has GI, Ill have to check it out

 

Last render for the competition, extended the hallway so you dont have to:

Very nice Work Lightsaber_Monster

Blender render engin have the GI option it's Call Ambient Occlusion.
it work only in Raytracing render. You find It in the pannel "World Buttons" window and subcontexte Occlusion
[image=http://mooky.3d.free.fr/dynamique/modules/uploader/files/occlusion_panel.jpg]

in this part you can use a basic GI With "ADD" and "Plain" Option or change the color of te light ambient on use Sky (world horizon Color and Zenith Color)or Use A Light prob Environment in "Sky Texture" option ( World Texture Whit a HDRI or LDRI Sphérical Map load in image texture)
And ou can combined the light (Lamp proprietie) at the light Prob enlightment with Sub And Both Option
