Messing with HDRI lighting instead of the mental ray Physical sun and sky…!

Colour needs ajusting..

Colour is ajusted! Much better

Just love the sky in the background...! Looks real!

Again, The Sky!

Will,

Hi,

School holidays are finally here, am ready for a break! (2 weeks, not bad).
I am now facing the decision of whether or not to continue school next year to do NCEA level 3. If I don’t do it, I will be going to Lifeway college of 3d animation for a 2 year course.
Lifeway College is the highest grade 3d animation diploma in New Zealand and is relatively close to where I live. Cant wait to go!

I am very proud that they featured my Short Course result on their youtube account! LINK Thanks Lifeway!

With the holidays, I plan to do a few things, homework (Arrhh!) and stuff in Maya! Fun fun.

I have started to texture the HK-Drone I was working on a while ago, Need to get up to scratch with Maya’s Hypershade, as I currently have no idea how to create a metallic texture! Help?

A quick render of current status. Lighting set up is a quick physical sun and sky. Click for bigger 720p pic.

So, thats it basically, will update this more often now… And Ive got twitter!

Will,

I am currently working on a new and improoved version of my HK-Drone, After I came back from the 3D animation course, I realised how wrong it looked, I then decided to go back and make a better replica.

Some pics, Ive done modelling, but now onto the harder part: Texturing. Pics:
