Viper Aviator's Composites
« on: April 02, 2011, 04:14:18 PM »
Started as a suggestion from Hangarbay94, here is a dedicated thread to my Star Wars composites. First up is the infamous ARC-170 Intruder (the ship got the tag Intruder from Hangarbay94) during the Battle of Courscant. The image is rendered in light oil with some added lighting effects. ENJOY!!!!

Coolio! Wonderful job Viper Aviator! The Lens Flare lighting effect really worked here

Thanks for all of the wonderful complements, now for the next one. "The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy" the famous YT-1300 Millennium Falcon, rendered in light oil with a custom backround to represent  Kessel and enhanced lighting effects for the front mandible flood lights, lens flare, and aircraft style running lights.

Viper, these are looking superb!!!

Now you need to start playing with the ships, adding shadows and altering brightness/contrast to suit their surroundings!

Also for lights check out some of the many Photoshop Lightsabre tutorials on YouTube. Applying some new, complex techniques will also add to your understanding of the software, and will get you moving around some of the more interesting tools.

You are such a great contributor to this forum, I would love to see your skills develop as you have an amazing and inspirational imagination.

These look great and I love what you are doing with these ships. Just my personal taste, I am not a big fan of the added red and green lights. Still these composits look great!
