Starwhip's Renderfarm [Stock Craft Requests Open]

Maybe a Blazing reentry, and another shot of it in orbit around Eve?

By the way, I see you accidently called it the BigS SSTO, it's Bad not Big.

Whoops! I'll try to remember that. Might not change the filename though.

Hmm, well, I should be able to do Eve. Reentry is tricky. I can probably do some research on the effects, and I know a hacky way to do it.

[Starwhip]

@SpaceplaneAddict's BadS SSTO descends on Eve.
Artist's Rendition. This craft may or may not be able to make it to Eve. Do not attempt to make it to Eve if you are not sure. If you attempt to make it to Eve with this and fail, you cannot sue.

@DMSP, if you have a craft ready I can start on it.

This procedural generation thing is really fun.

What are you using for the planets?

I am using Blender 3D.

This is Duna's surface material setup.

If it doesn't make much sense, don't worry, I find it hard to follow myself sometimes, and I created the setup!

Please make a tutorial on this!

I think I will make one.
I'm also going to upload the .blend file with all of the planet types I've done and will do.

Yay!  It's a shame that I'm over 25 likes...

@Starwhip

I completly forgot.

I'll have the craft up later today.

[Starwhip]

I'm not yet dead!

Made a nifty (not so little) fighter jet today. Thought I'd make a nice render of it. Here it is!

@Starwhip - I've just learned a way to texture a sphere with texture maps really quickly using nodes.  You might be able to download them from Kerbal Maps, and put it on a sphere, subdivide it, and use the sculpt tool to add depth.

I have textures for Kerbin already downloaded, as well as specular, displacement, and normal maps. They are probably more precise than the sculpt tool. BUT, for a planet like Minmus I think I'd use the sculpt tool like you said.

Yeah, I did mean more of a Minmus type planet.

Hi Starwhip, I know it's been months, but here are the three craft for the Atacama-Sahara booster render.

Atacama Winged Booster.

 

Sahara Upper Stage.

 

Atacama-Sahara Light-Medium Lifter.

 

My idea was that it could be split into three, all in one image.

The first slide would be the Atacama-Sahara joint booster busting above the clouds.

The second would be the Sahara in the blackness of space, firing its engiens.

And the third would be the Atacama booster flying back home.

Maybe it could be like:

1|2
 3

 

Oh, if you could do the Atacama being chased by a stock "Osprey" that would be awesome!

 

Thanks!

That'll work just fine.

Alright, thanks, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have fun!

OpenGL RENDER IS AWESOME! These each took about one minute to complete.

[Starwhip]

So I'm starting to get my free time back. Got back into the Blender groove with some StarMade renders, which were a ton of fun.

I'm going to be working on @DMSP's request, as well as some background projects which I've been contacted about. Hope to have them done soon!

Free time is always good.

Well, have fun working on it, and good luck!

@selfish_meme's (really really cool) SR-71 Blackbird soars low, afterburners on full!

[Guest]

@Starwhip - Are you using the sequencer to make the afterburners?

Nope. (What is the sequencer, by the way? :/ I've heard of it but never used it)

Spoiler

The flames are modeled. The outer cone is as you see here, and the inner "balls" are simply an emission shader plugged into the Volume output node. I loosely based it off the afterburner flames you can see here:

Oops, mistyped, I meant compositor, so by the looks of it, you used the compositor.
