That one was influenced by Ed Lee's Stargate picture. I tried a couple of things an kinda liked this texture thing over it.

[Edit]
Here is a slightly modified version - [/edit]

and here is a nonmodified plain render, without textures, of the whole model:

Wow! Reminds me of the Gothic set designs of Tim Burton's Gotham City in the Batman movies. It would be cool to have some rust or something on the large surfaces though.

Buddha,ceenda: thanks :]
it would have probably looked better when I would have added some textures -
I tried some and didnt find anything that would fit in so I left that out.
I kinda liked the plain version better in comparison.

I'll probably try some scratches on it.

Eh? Influenced by my picture? Hmmm.. you gimme too much credit. Anyhoo, I kinda like the grayscale..film-noire like. What program is this again? Just curious...

thanks,its rendered and modeled in 3dsMax 3.0
mostly to test a freeware renderer, but the final renders were done without it.

wonderful the only critique i have (or maybe its just me) but the scafoling or riders with the steps liiks like its toppiling over and the ramp thingy to the left looks a little crooked either thta or im cross eyed hmmm

nice pic though i really like it

Krazy: yep I have to admit, the perspective looks warped. Its one of the strangenesses of 3dsMax- somehow it always looks off more or less, perspective wise.
The construction �s parallel.. but somehow the rendered projection is not- strange

I really like the feel to the first pic. The dirty look is sweet. The second pic looks way to clean. The grayscale is a really nice touch as well. Great work Nex. Only one thought, have you thought about using a bump map on the big engine like things? I think if you do a bump map of some dents and scrapes it would really add to the piece. Like I said though I really like it.
