Finally put it up on photobucket .. will add more to the album as I find it.
Amazin trip thru early 3d Studio up to my first efforts in 3dMax, some oil paintings, some acrylic paintings, fun with photo's as backgrounds for renderings ...years of 'playin' with light and color to bring stuff alive.
Enjoy.

That's nice! How'd ya do it? :)

selected 'my computer' as the source, clicked 'load image,' went to the directories the images were in, and used CTRL key to select the ones I wanted to upload (didn't want any photo's in that album .. just paintings, renderings, ..from all the stuff I had done over the years.)
There's the majority of stuff there .. I have a few more images here an there I need to find (prolly on some CD somewhere ..I'll look for 'em when I can)
As for how the images were created .. as I said .. some are paintings, some are renderings using 3d models I built and texture mapped (except one image, showin a JU-88 and Hurricane trackin a dead 6 shot.. models in that one were done by Jay Thompson aka Vossman from AW long ago.. I just set up the render with background, lighting, camera angles an stuff to create somethin like it probably looked like)

Thanks for the memorys there GE. I even found the 109 you made

GE, is Hog Heaven originaly your idea? I remember seeing a painting or render with the same setup, except the hog has its flaps out and the target's a Ki84. Same title, too.

heh blood dragon.. brought back memories of gunning a 17 in AW3 and we landed 29 kills, lol... only a few vulches, lol.
always nice to re-visit these.

Hiya Moot.
Ya ..'Hog Heaven' was inspired by a scenario way back when ..when the Val was first introduced in AW.
There was nuthin like comin up under one that was completely unaware you were there, and just blowin him right outta the sky.
Especially in a scenario :)

MPBT 3025 was a sweet game, too bad it never made it out of the closed beta because Microsoft had EA shut it down. It was using the same engine that was supposed to be used for AW4.

Battletech:3025 .. Just one of the projects that never saw the light of day -sigh-
..pretty awesome in the beta, the explosions an effects that Jeff added and the game shapes I cranked out really brought it to life.
Shame I don't have any screen shots .. we all thought it was on the fast track to get online, right up till MickeySoft stepped in.
They wanted the legs of all the mechs 'fatter' .. I pitched a fit, obviously none of them had played online against the leg shooters :)
(and for a fact, the models I did from the sketches in FASA's own books were accurate as finished, not 'fat legged' at all)
I actually had some geek from MS tell me that it was just 'sound engineering' because the legs looked too spinly to support the mass.
I was like 'Dood .. you need to read the books ..this has *nothing* to do with present day engineering'
Frik-kin geeks.

I printed this out back in the day when printing pictures on a dot matrix printer was amazing. Probably with my Amiga. I think she is yours GreyEagle. Not enough definition to make out the sig. This is pinned to my cork board next to this 'puter.

One of my favorite tactics was to draw the enemy mech into the wooded areas, light the trees on fire and hit the other mech with an alpha strike. Was usually enough to make the lighter mechs over heat or seriously damage the heavier mechs.

Aye Lye-el .. that dot-matrix image is:

.. my first and only lithograph to date :)
The 'Doll' impressed me both by the way it looked and the pilot who named it, he shot down bandits in his P-40, his P-38, and his P-51.
Was the youngest Colonel in the USAF when he made that rank, just an awesome record all the way around.
