Just letting you know this thread isn’t dead :slight_smile:
I’ve been working on lighting and a bit of general comping the passes.
This is the beauty pass:

This is more or less what I plan doing with it, of course, not including any of the enviorment. This is a low AA render because it’s purposes didn’t require time consuming high AA:

Currently I’m working on dust particles and on figuring out how I’m going to make the BG.

Though this is a 2D image, I’m trying to do a little pain overs as possible and use as much layers from 3D as possible - as if it were an After FX or Fusion composition.

Opinions would by gladly read and noted.

Ok, here’s the Dust situation so far.
I’m not sure how I’m going to make the massive dust clouds in the BG, I don’t have after burn… any suggestions?

you are not replying on icq so i’ll write it here,

the first one looks better imo, the background’s color is too simlar to the soldier so its realy taking something out of him.

and those dust particles look like rain more than anything. you have to do something with them. dont ask me why i dont realy know atm :slight_smile:

any suggestions > Maybe a bigger version ?

Actually my eyes are looking the halo of the sun in first. I think you should catch attention on the marines.

Nice work :slight_smile:

Yes eye is going towards sun, make the armor more shiny and reflective, inorder to balance the pic.

you can make foggy clouds in photoshop.

Use dodge and blur tool on a guassian blureed cloud filter effect.

Rest u can do some color efftcs and layer modes, to amke it look good.

Simple I think your work just need post effects.

I like what you have done so far.
Long time ago, a was doing image similar to this one, here it it:
