Trombone + Trumpet. Yes, it actually exists, no that it not its real name

Progress so far:

(Sorry, it only rendered for ~20min with .8...)

Attachment removed, look farther down.

cool !
Can't wait to see more !

Ps.
A small general remark...(not specially for you BZ Win)
Why don't you guys use jpg format? 4 MB's for wip is way too much i think. That's a common thing around here. Don't abuse the upload feature. Let's save some bandwidth of all of us.

I doesn't look like normal smoothing is turned on. Cool model.

yes, ns is missing, but it looks great :D
will you use gold, or will you try to find brass?

Or is it a silvery trumpet?

Yeah, normal smoothing is off, as it was just a test.

Kram1032: The one I have sitting in front of me is brass, so the 1st render will probably be a brass color...

But, we have one at school that is painted a dark navy blue, it looks quite cool as well..

did some more on it, and let it render for ~3 hours while we went to see Spider Man 3

(Oh, btw, this is kinda just a warmup for my next project, since I havent been into this for a while...)

It doesn't look bad, but kinda plastic...

I guess, gold, maybe also a blend of gold and copper, is the best choise, as brass mat.

(Au.nk + Cu.nk : 0.33 as blend setting)

How was the film?

That definetly isn't a final material, or it is not the final scene...

Still trying to figure out the new Blendigo exporter, because I am personally used to / like the classic type better.


About the film, I would give it 7/10, it was 2.5 hours long, and they really drew it out... Probably could have been only 1.75 or 2 hours....

I see...
I'm curious to the 5th Harry Potter Film: The book was overly outdrewn.
The film can get rid of MANY scenes, this time, without worrying.

...ok: back to the topic. :D
