I think I got it figured out. TY guys. Oh and I have not made a lot of comments in this thread but I want to say this is really outstanding work Leon. I am very impressed, with your overall skills, you seem to have mastered every aspect - modeling, texturing, rendering, rigging, animation, dynamics.... Just outstanding! You should be very proud.

Cheers for the very kind words Ctbram, still feel I have a very long way to go till I will of mastered this stuff but feel I am making good progress and am really stoked about getting my stuff working in game. Thanks to an amazing guy who has been teaching me the ropes I can now get a character rigged and set up in max and over to the cryengine in a few hours. Has always been a dream to be able to create characters and vehicles for video games, is amazing to see it coming to fruition.

Our short video is progressing well and should have a post with the video soon.

We will then begin work on our 1st game. I will start a new thread up when this happens so I can demonstrate as many of the aspects that I have and will be learning in order to assist others who might be interested. Also just a key thing we discovered in max for making these models low res was the new multi rez option in max 2012, essentially works like decimation master but gives great control and results.

Thanks again for every ones kind words with regards to my work and this thread, it is much appreciated and certainly helps keep the motivation high,

-Leon

I have not used physical sky env rendering and I noticed that once enabled I can no longer get proper ambient occlusion renders unless I physically delete the phys sky render node. Is there a way to leave the node and just disable it for my AO renders? I even tried creating a dedicated AO render layer and all I get is a dark blue murky haze on everything until I completely delete the phys sky node.

Having some testing fun. The first c130 is simply compd out onto a picture while the 2nd one is done in maya with particles for the clouds and a BG plate on a mip node. Any clouds in the middle and foreground are done in maya. Just the distance stuff is the BG plate.

Here is a screenshot of the setup. Just a plane, ibl, and fluid emitters for the clouds.

I always tell him he gets to do all the fun and "Shiny" things while I am stuck doing clothing and coding. Also I thought this thread was dead....
