The Duke's Inspection


 
 
(Click images to enlarge. Click Thread Title For youTube Video.)
With a little bit of help in the rendering department, I've finally finished the first version of this shot as Duke Leto pilots his ornithopter (followed by escort) over the city of Arrakeen and past the spice refinery before heading out over the shield wall.
There's still many things I'd like to do to this shot so hopefully it will continue to improve over time.
Any suggestions would be welcome!

  1. The thing I don't like is the very shiny Carryall, but the rest is looking great !!!

  2. Yeah... I agree... will have to tone it down a bit. The original model was silver, but with a matte finish so it didn't reflect the camera or the blue screen. I still have some detail work to do on it, plus properly texturing it, so will fix it up then.
    Thanks for you comments!

  3. It looks rather boring to me. Perhaps some Atreides banners hanging from a building here and there? Just look at the Atreides unfiforms: very Baroque Rennaisance, and with some color.

    I think it would really balance out Arrakeen. Plenty of time for drabness out in the desert later, right?
