nice ....................

The main focus when I look at this picture is the robots, unfortunately, you did not make them. (I know you gave the original creator credit). But it seems misleading...

Just my opinion...

Nice design and colors, the water (in fact mostly the reflection) is a bit less convincing imo. Good luck!

Great ! See you on next contests !

Congrats, nice work

thanx for the comments and vote..

nizeee.. i dont know anything of 3D but is there anyway to make the wood look more real?, i mean it looks like its made of one piece.. while a ship is made of planks?

wow!!!!!!

KingRafox, a reald gold comment. Now the ship is made from planks.

beautiful and very good

Really nice render on the ship! The cannons are too large, and they made a lot of smoke when fired, but good work.

Thanks, CMYK. Made cannons smaller and add some smoke with fire effect and two atmospheric gizmos in max. Im not very happy with Max effect, if anyone help me with an idea for 3 D smoke really appriciate.

Nice modeling love all the little details you have added top job!

Take a look at this maybe of some help

The only way I know is either particle based, but you would have to render seperate and composite or in MAYA there are paint effects you could use, I am not sure MAX has the same tools.

youpee, it works ! Thanks Dante and Warlock. I used a Pclouds particle and a material made upon tutorial indicate by Warlock, just adapted to a V-Ray mtl. Grateful. Get crazy when i think is a 10 secunds photoshop work. 3D life is tough.

yeah looking gud.. from the high resolution image i guess u didnt use the indirect illumination..i.e no light bounces and perfect shadows appear..so do have a check on that and with the fire effect it does nt look like fire

Thanks. Ramananjv, I've checked settings of final render and the only light with shadows, a Direct as sun. GI is open but if you have time see new step 15 and if is smtg wrong pls let me know. As for fire effect...finally I didnt use Max Fire, looks really crap, on the cannon i have only an omni light with Lens Effects and the smoke effect.

really cool ship. i think it looks a bit plastic tho.

Very, very good model! Just please put the sky and tweak lighting a bit, and it'll be awesome! =)

thanks, can do nothing more here, scene is too heavy and v-ray crash every single change. is my last contact with v-ray

very nice!

Excellent lighting properties. Nice job, author!

This is fabulous! Great work!

Very cool - except what you have is a schooner (two masts) which had a completely different kind of hull. You need a third (smaller) mast at the back.

Thanks. Kyricom, there is a third mast on back, is broken and in its way to fall.

Oh yes, I see now. Sorry. Might consider having the base of the mast stick up a little higher to make it more noticeable. Nice

Lelaina ?

Based on your SBS the helmet looked good in ZBrush. But it seems to have lost some details on your final render. Actually I found it hard to see what it was in HI-Res. Anyway, no hard feelings, because of the lack of time to fix anything before the deadline I'll base my vote on the SBS-version instead.

Dka, perfect. After I read your comment I begin to digg like a fool on tutorials, helps...you know...everything. And, surprise . I discovered that transphering the wavefront object and the displacement map from ZBrush to Max is not enough to keep all details. I have to use also a V Ray displacement map. At this moment dont know how to do it. Never mind. next time. Thanks, man, I feel like Columbus, I see America but I cant touch it.

Very good, the reflection are excellent.
