airport scene

[TheGoog]

I'm in the middle of applying at a tech school in Toronto, Canada, and they've asked me to do a few renderings that arent automobile based and have more of a complete feel to em. So here's what I've done so far today...

Just wondering what else ya'll think should be done to the scene, and where I may have made some mistakes.

and an update.....

[Shorty]

2nd pic looks x2 better, quite realistic too

[Cheetah]

i think the model of the airplane could be improved. other thant that the scenery looks good

[33x]

What Cheetah said is true. Thouhg I would also suggest at least one more different plane texture. Other than that, it looks great.

Needs a bigboy 747 somewhere in there :twisted:

[lackadaisical]

It looks good apart from some lighting conflicts.
The sun is obviously very low in the horizon, yet the shadows do not represent this at all.

[TheGoog]

lackadaisical >> hey!, I was waiting for someone to point that out...... I just cnat figure out how to get it working right. I know my current technique of using a skylight is not right at all for this scene, but what other lights would work?

[RallyMaster]

looking quite nice...now if only those commercial jets were replaced by fighter jets

[Ridge]

I can get some more realistic ground textures for ya...

[NoZTek_Z]

you need to make skylight a bit darker and put an omni for shadows and make the airplane material a bit more reflective... anyways good job

the scene would look better like this.. just need the airplane to have more reflection

[Ridge]

Here are various runway and taxiway textures!

The second image is better with the tower, and second plane placement. The lighting is off as stated earlier. I think if you add a couple other omni's it might help. Also, the scene is still a little bland, needs a little more activity in it. A cargo carrier perhaps, even a ground crew would help. Also, maybe lighting the tower Airports always seemed to me as being very busy places, even the small ones. Over all your doing a good job.

[TheGoog]

Update!!!!

thinking about adding a small building in between the two hangars, and then some stuff in the control tower, maybe lights in both..... maybe a forklifts yet, not sure.

Lets see what ya'll think first. I gotta have this done by tomorrow night.

[Ridge]

Some luggage trucks would be good...as well as aforementioned forklifts and maybe a bus to transport the passengers off the plane with the airstairs...

Also, to look more like most jets around today, you should put the wings at the bottom of the fuselage...

[TheGoog]

and more updates.....

[Hawktoey]

This last one is really close!! Great job! The only thing is that grouns texture.....to bumpy for my taste but then again that's only my opinion...8 )

[TheGoog]

Hawktoey >> you think its about there? thanks man

but for the ground textures. I chose it to be so bumpy cause I wanted to give the feeling that this place was OLD.... a little shoot-off from the main bigger airport and their just using it to store planes, etc. Just wamnted to try something a bit more delapidated (I think thats the spelling)

Anywho, I already sent the pic to the college, so who know.... *fingers crossed*
