Still thinking of rendering this again slightly cropped but gonna enter this for now. A number of people honor their history by reenacting it so I decided to attempt to portray that.

Nice lighting and the viewpoint is not one that is often used. Good job.

There is my entry for this month's contest. It's a small hommage to my grand-father who fought in the Spanish Civil War 75 years ago. I have tried to show the mix of military and non-military clothes that the photos of the soldiers of this war show.Not very happy with the lights though...

Did you have shadow maps turned on? That might have made a difference.
I'm not good with history, I didn't know that war was such a short time ago. We learn something new every day! :-)
Dana
Yes, but it did not work as expected and I did not had time to fiddle more with it...
Sure ya do -- it's only November 27! Get back in there, kid!
That landscape models is one of many that sucks in all the light. I don't understand these things, but I always get SOME shadow (I'm talking DAZ Studio 3 here) switching to raytraced shadow because Deep Shadow Mat isn't intense enough. Also Dyald's and Stonemason's daylights from ShareCG will hammer out a shadow.
Mind you, your lighting is already pretty good -- like the way he's profiled against the sky.
WAIT A SECOND, I haven't entered yet! And it's already November 27!!!
It si true that I used Deep Shadows map, I will try with the raytraced to see if there is any difference.
ZamuelNow: As a reenactor of long standing (25 years) and a volunteer interpreter for the National Park Service (15 years) I can really appreciate your render. Thank you.
vivayo: Your render is a nice tribute to a part of history that is little remembered these days, but had a real and lasting impact on world events at the time and in the future. You are to be commended for giving this part of history it's due.
Both renders are truly outstanding. At first I though that picking the top render this month would be a bit of a no-brainer, but now I'm not so sure. These two renders have dramatically upped the ante. Glad I'm not a judge...
Someone else beat me to my idea, so I had to improvise a bit.
Here is my entry for this month.

Nice piece of work! Well thought out, nice composition. Forgive my asking, but...excuse me while I put on my historical hat...I find it a little odd that you chose to include the Baker rifle as opposed to a modern military firearm. I mean, it's a nice touch, but the Baker rifle is a British military weapon more suited to the early 19th century. It renders up nicely, but it makes me want to sit down are re-watch all my episodes of Sharp. I've faced off those guys across the field before. Nasty bunch...never mind...Nice render...

First of all: thank you for the compliment. :) Secondly, this isn't the render I wanted to do... I wanted to do the "Kennedy"-esque salute, but someone else beat me to it. Then, I wanted to do a render representing a piece from each of the American conflicts... But couldn't find a Kentucky long rifle. So... I substituted a Baker hoping that no one would be able to tell the difference. Just pretend that it was a weapon taken from a British soldier during the War of 1812, and used heroically in battle. ;)
Alexa :D
That's a take on the theme that I would never have thought of!

Interestingly, CBC Radio just aired a two-part radio special on the Spanish Civil War (concentrating on the Canadian volunteers). It's still available on their website: http://www.cbc.ca/livingoutloud/episode/2012/11/09/the-spanish-crucible-with-interactive-timeline/
So I have just enough knowledge to know how true to life this image is...

Very touching, Alexa.
All your links check out - ENTRY ACCEPTED.
You're welcome, Lord Ganthor. Outside of some entirely separate headaches I've been having with crashes and such, this contest wound up being somewhat difficult since my brain went into full tilt Serious Business mode which caused a bit of an artist's block. Figured that in the end, most inaccuracies could be noted as understandable given the resources.
With my entry, I made a bit of an update. Changed the layout slightly, fixed clipping in a few places, and made small adjustments. The watch was added to help with the "preparations" concept in that she's not finished getting ready or perhaps this is a rehearsal.
Watch -- Watch -- http://www.inlitestudio.com/3D/3d_watch.html
Oh, I didn't have those watches... Link checks out, entry still accepted.
ZamuelNow, could you update your earlier post (#211), please? That will prevent some judges looking at the older version of your entry and other judges looking at the newer version.
Well, your heart was in the right place! However...and I do this in all good sense of fun...the Baker rifle never made it over to the states! All of the British troops during the War of 1812 were still armed with Brown Bess muskets, just like they used during the Revolution. The reason I know this is because I wanted one for *my* 1812 impression and was promptly "shot down" with that information! I had to very sheepishly withdraw my request. However, for your future reference, try this: Mock's Colonial Rifle
I used it for one of my June renders and it's pretty accurate. It's more of a Bess than a long rifle, but it suits the purpose. Just in case you ever get the urge again. Still, over all, it doesn't detract one bit from the render. Don't pay any attention to this old historical nit-picker...

Those are pretty cool watches! Thanks for the link. I've seen reenactors who should know better do that sort of thing. That and modern eyeglasses, fingernail polish, cell phones...the list is endless.

Well, Wikipedia claims there were Baker rifles used at the Battle of New Orleans and the Battle of the Alamo... but we all know how accurate Wikipedia is. Especially when (as in this case) there aren't any inline citations.
(I have an early-morning meeting tomorrow and the forecast is for snow, so I'm logging off and hitting the sack. See you tomorrow evening...)
Snow :ohh:
Our low is suppose to be around 10 C and our high is 26 C. Dang! I am running around in shorts and a tee-shirt putting up Christmas lights.
Very nice work!
Dana
Nice link ! Thanks.
Well, I've tried to use ray-traced shadows and the result is a bit better but still the shadows do not show on the ground, I do not understand why...
Not to go horribly off topic here...oops! Too late! The Alamo? Hadn't heard that one before. Bit of a hoot, there...okay...maybe. About a 2% chance as the Spanish were arming the Mexican army with surplus Brown Besses, but not likely. American forces with Bakers? Not likely again (though the idea of American militia with Bakers is an intriguing thought). And at New Orleans? Even more unlikely. The British forces in America were line troops. Baker rifles were usually (but not always) reserved for special units, like sharpshooters. Most of them were back home fighting ol' Nappy. Wikipedia's information is spotty at best and until I see some first account documentation I'll continue to be a skeptic on the matter.
Snow? No thanks. I'd just as soon hold off on that as soon as possible. We're prone to ice storms in this part of the country, so I'd rather have snow if given a choice.
from http://england.prm.ox.ac.uk/englishness-baker-rifle.html 7th paragrah from the bottom:
Kendall
So Alexa, as you can see who is debating which war the rifle was used in, it's a guy thing, pay no attention to what they say, they can't help themselves about it, my husband is the same way. Us lady's don't care about such details but guys do. Notice how none of us women give a hoot about which rifle you used. Take note for future date on that one. LOL
Hey, I do too care. Like Ganthor I used to do re-enactment, and we were very careful with details like that. And I even hhad a story to back up the reason why I, as a female, could authentically dress as a Johnny Reb soldier, carrying an authentic replica gun.
I had a Remington revolving rifle, black powder, cap and ball. A fully working replica, proofed for live fire, although I admit I never did live fire it, only used blanks. But a friend did try his out live, and It put a whole through both sides of one of the sign boards in the Holiday camp we were "performing" at.
sorry cho, we women do tend to be passionate about guns too, just not quite as finicky as the guys are sometimes.
so do we have a "Belle" in our midst?
Yes indeed, even If I am a brit, ACW reenactment was quite big over here for a long time. I was mainly a soldier boy when we were doing battles, but if we did some of our indoor sketches, then I would be a Belle, and I did have some really beautiful "crinoline" dresses, even though say it myself. Mine had to be better than most, as at the time I was making money by making and selling them.
I do have a few photo's somewhere, but unfortunately my scanner will not work with this new PC, so I need to get a new scanner before I can scan any in.
Nice link ! Thanks.
Well, I've tried to use ray-traced shadows and the result is a bit better but still the shadows do not show on the ground, I do not understand why...
Something's borked with distant lights &skydomes;. You can set the skydome to not cast shadows; but it's still blocking the distant light from casting them on the scene. one workaround is to do a multipass render (one with the skydome & one without).
