I had a wacky idea to model a Wacky Races vehicle..... well.. 2 and a half weeks later I ended up with this lol all modeled in Carrara and rendered in Cararra.. you can see the thread in the Carrara board.. over yonder
Certainly brings back memories, nice render.

OK, so away from the Northern UK streets I am off on another project.
I am trying to set up a few Large scenes that I can use for locations on multiple renders so that my characters have a base, or bases to work from, still leaving me a free to have them travelling in different spacecraft.
So here is my first attempt of a working location based on Ensk Station and Props by Petipet.
The Dawn figure is on the walkway in the lower centre section so the size of the complex can be judged by that. It did have a few vehicles, both land and air but that wiped out my 32mb of memory (mental note - try to afford 64Mb on the next system). It does however provide multiple locations which was the aim. Nothing clever in this render but I wanted something this size as I think it will make a good night scene.
A better look at the complex.

Ours were a different colour.
That looks good, ours were all red as far as I remember except for Hull who had their own telephone company and they were white.
Depended on the location in STL, MO.
Some were red, some blue, wood or metal gray.

Frame 39 of a 300 frame animation I am working on.
I wanted to go simple so I used second skin textures on Sydney, played with fer face in the face room, and used toon outline in Firefly. The hair is a Miki 2 refit for Sydney that I downloaded of of 'rosity a couple years back. The background and light saber effect are done in post.

Nice work Rokket. I'm looking forward to seeing your final animation.

Me too. I have to post work 300 renders...
Eeek.

Aagh, I hate having to do postwork; my drawing skills have a high degree of suckage.
Trying to get the post work consistent throughout an animation will be tough. See if you can figure out what hair that is. I have SydneyG2. I probably have the original Sydney somewhere, but not on this machine (Urania).What architectural model is she standing on?
Which render engine do you intend to use? Rendering 300 frames will take a while.
What other effects do you anticipate would need postwork?
I'm thinking if you get the motion sequence worked out, etc., and send me the PZ3, I can substitute a working lightsabre (no postwork needed) and render in either Firefly or Superfly at decent quality, then send you the PNG frames. You have a video/GIF/Flash editor?
The limitation is avoiding sending me someone else's geometries or texturing JPGs. So, we need to use items which we both have, or make substitute items ourselves.
P.S. lightsabre -both FF & Sfly capable- available at Renderosity or ShareCG
P.P.S. To check motion sequence smoothness and timing, you can quickly render Preview frames with hidden line display style.

If you try the night scene, my first thought is to use the area light for those tower-mounted floodlights. Scale/rotate the rectangular area light to fit in front of each floodlight array. I think it would be easier to scale/align an area light to each tower than to do so with a spotlight.
For those blue lights I see along the walkway, on the cylindrical tank at left, and on the building at right, I'd add the lightcasting boost nodes.
I'd also use a boosted shader on the night skydome. Several of those in my construct sampler, and they'll fit any spherically mapped skydome.

Thanks for that, and yes I do want to do a night scene, in fact that was the plan today but a 'Fatal Error' on launching Poser side tracked me. Thanks to Janet I am back working but a few self inflicted injuries made the process harder than it could have been.
I like your ideas, the blue lights already have the ambience set on them so in firefly I just up those. I was thinking of playing with the material in superfly but I like your ideas better, particularly the use of area lights.

The "ambient boost nodes" only work in Superfly, so, yeah, in Firefly crank up the ambient itself. If the blue lights white out with ambient=30, then use an HSV node to increase the color saturation just enough to keep them blue, and plug that into the ambient socket.
