a quick proof of concept sketch using new cloud restriction functions and some camera trickery...It was a bit fiddly to start, but I will post a clip file of the refined version if anyone is interested...

wow Nice work

Heehee, Jason! I have almost that exact .tgd from last year but without the new cloud controls; beammeupscotty.tgd, I called it.

I used just a simple shape to define the beam. I should look that one out now and get busy with the new settings, cheers for the reminder!

Cool work, very Zelda-esque!

Poor cow...

Those animal mutilations are a mystery; but, I think you nailed the cause here. Your UFO model is excellent as is the composition. Two things: you might consider making the cow smaller; and, maybe trying a night background. In all, this looks like is was a fun project.

You could have done this simpler; just throw a camera on the ground, point it up, attach it to a distance shader and use as blender for a cloud. But I like the image

Looking real good! Now, the addition of a few more grazing cattle surrounding the area would be good; and, the addition of some low grasses.

Henry Blewer · January 02, 2011, 10:02:27 PM

More objects, and cows would be good. This is beginning to have a movie poster look. It's coming along nice.

I like the look on the cow's face! Must be great to be lifted like that. Cows in Heaven.

yeah, those aliens dont have a very good record with abducting cows....

Poor cow...

i like version 2 more.
tho' the quality of the flying saucer model could be better, smoothed out/subdivided more.

FrankB · January 03, 2011, 09:54:41 AM

great idea, Inky :-)

inkydigit · January 04, 2011, 03:44:03 PM

vegetation by Klas and Lightning....
btw no pw, just jpegged!

Very cool work Jason

A bit odd to say maybe, but I like the realistic perspective of the ground, cows and clouds
