Vindictus Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 OK - Here is the squad so far: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Command%20WIP.jpg The Company Champion Detail: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Osric2.jpg And the "regular Marine" (The one I am currently Working on): http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Command%20Squad%20Trooper.jpg OK - Here is my Request.... I did some ambient lighting around the lasersight, seen here: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Lasersight%20Detail.jpg I'm not sure the effect is really coming across, and I am looking for suggestions on how to fix it... Thoughts? Also, Here is a detail of the shoulderpad: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Decal%20Pad.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The laser sight looks fine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/#findComment-1027782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcyon Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Amazing! Maybe THE best run o' the mill marines I've seen. This isn't a comp army, it's gaming, right? I wish my normal models looked as awesome as yours. Your robes, gold, and faces are especially great. Keep on pluggin away!

Ripper.McGuirl Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I like the effect, but it doesn't scream laser sight to me. Maybe make it brighter in the middle? Do laser sights even give off ambient light to the sides?

But I am trying to learn new techniques like ambient lighting, nmm, etc and am using these for experimentation... I'd like to do some serious GD entries for next year rather than the usual "Lets see what I have that I could enter for ha-ha's..."

Chronophague Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Quote OK - Here is my Request.... I did some ambient lighting around the lasersight, seen here: Ambient light around a laser is kinda wrong tho. Laser light travels in a linear fashion, so it doesn't really cause ambient lighting to anything, except when it hits a area which is uneven, which then breaks up the beam. :P But it looks good, only the red looks more like a led than a laser. :) Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/#findComment-1028011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper.McGuirl Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Ok, so I'm just gonna assume that it looking like a laser is secondary to it looking like it's giving off light. The way I'm seeing it, it seems like the brightest reflection should be on the side of the scope right next to the laser itself. Right now, it appears that there is only light on the edge of the rim, and it looks like it is actually brighter on the bottom right chunk ( below the laser). It also looks like you tinted the rims behind the laser, which I think hurts it from making the light look like it's projecting outwards. Lastly, I think that you tried to add in some shading that you would normally put in for a "universal" light source. I would think that the light would be just as bright in the cracks, since it's right next to it, and if not just as bright, then at least brighter than they are now. And this is just a thought, but maybe the light would be more noticable in the cracks as red, and whatever other light source there is would be drowning it out on the more raised surfaces? I realize that this may be kind of hard to follow, if you want me to, I can doctor up the photo with a diagram so that my jumbled words make sense. =] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/#findComment-1028138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamez Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 realy good work on those. I personally can't see anything wrong with the lighting, apart from, obviosly, the fact that it wouldnt happen with a laser. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/#findComment-1028167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Nice minis there, real nice blending on the armour, as for the light i would say make it brighter near the light, though it already looks good. and don't you just hate how bad your minis look when you make them twice as big as real life? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89363-revilers-command-squad-wip/#findComment-1028374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
