No Remorse Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hey all I am trying to pull out all the stops on my Canadian GD entry, as such I am finally biting the bullet and trying out SENMM for the first time, rather than my usual NMM. Please take a look and tell me what you think I can do to improve it, I think it looks a bit rough, so I may go over it again and clean it up a bit. http://greenman.publicmine.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/Vet_Arm_SENMM_WIP.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Looks more than decent to me. One thing though, I'm not sure the horizon would bend along with the axis of your tube. The middle 2 parts are OK, but the in the others IMHO, the horizon should be kept... well... more or less horizontal :D ... I could be wrong, I don't have my chrome bar handy at the moment...

FaeLi-N Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Agree completely there sir! The reflection should be consistently parallell with the ground (horizon). Looks good so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Remorse Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 I just took a look at my Exacto knife at different angles, it would stay parallel with the tube, but the horizon line would be shallower, so I think that may be the problem, Thanks for pointing that out :D Ja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuriken Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 what does SENMM stand for?! I've only just got my head around NMM and then you go adding more letters to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quis custodiet ipsos custodes Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sky Earth Non Metallic Metal, painting metallic colours (gold, silver) without using metallic paints (boltgun metal for instance). It differs from NMM in a way I'm unsure of, horizon line or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaldoth Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I believe SENMM has something to do with reflections and whatnot. Cant tell you for sure. -Kaldoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuer_faust Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 It's using blues, greys, and browns to paint a psueduo-reflection of the environment as opposed to simply light on metal. So SENMM= Chrome. NMM= Boring, less lustrous metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRasterImage Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The horizon line is correct. The curving shape of the metal rings is the dictating factor, and it is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphin Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The horizon lines are quite perfect, great job on it. It really does look good, keep this up, and you'll have some really kickass looking marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltman Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Excellent job there Ja, and as corrected, the horizon line is correct, the curve of the cable is what dictates how light is reflected upon them. I see little need for any improvement, except perhaps brightening the horison ever so slightly, ofr a slightly more reflective effect. I would advise more contrast on the black hilights though, but that'S another subject :D SENMM will not be a problem for you, and a definite plus for this season's GD judging. Bling it up! ;) Boltman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezul Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 dude that looks great, im with the others in saying that the horizon line looks a little out, but im only picking that out coz i was looking for something wrong with it as per the C&C...

No Remorse Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Thanks for all the comments they are greatly appreciated, I will work on brigthening the horizon line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
