Hello.. I have been working like crazy on trying to get a modeling demo done by Monday. The studio that I was applying for a matchmoving position, really wants to see my modeling work as well.. So, most of the stuff on it is going to have to be Playblast, with a shaded mode and then wireframe over shaded. So, before i show each model, i am going to show a rendered pic. Here is the idea that I had for my mechs, I thought that I would render them with the toon shader... What do you think?? If someone could be nice user added image

and let me upload the demo on there server, then I can show u guys my modeling demo. THanks,

Brian

btw I will post the other four with the vector render, as i get them done

I like the toon shader, but it loses that great detail and tiny weeny wow he even modelled that factor that I think is really strong in your work.

It's a good way of showing things off, but it doesn't seem to do your models justice, simply because you are so good with detail and precision and toons always seem more vague.

I'd include it, but some plain ones might also bring out the details, perhaps some of your usual well done MR or GI effects.

thanks for your opinion... Yeah, there will be more, and there will be an animated camera rotating around the shaded (not toon) model. I figured I have alot of other stuff with the regular render, I though thtat I could show something with the toon render. Thanks!
Brian

btw i am onl going to do one other.

Hmmm. Me guesses that with all these mechs, the company that is interested in you is making something with mechs in it? :p

I would picked different colors on the mechs, but I like the vector renders too.

Perhaps, as Brian is actually on the run trying to come up with this quickly, he might be using the vector renderer to speed up things Witchy. user added image
