discussion : I used an old Viking Tunic for m2, cross dressed it to M4 then retextured it (that's why the circley bits are so disorted!) and used a few transmaps to elminate all but the black thing around the coller and the belt
I also used the caustics trick for the lighting. This time I kept reflections on. I retextured the shirt for the groovy flash insignia. Added a glow to the laser gun thingy.
Just want to say I learnt lots in this one from the tutorials, Thanks Bunyip02, you rock.

Discussion: I started by making the Kit Kat Clock not really know where I was going with it. Then the scene just evolved in my head. Everything was made natively in Carrara except for a few texture maps: for the Kit Kat Clock and the dial on the old radio (which you can't even see in the render, lol), those were painted in an external editor. I used a few native shaders from the browser - Brass, Chrome, and one of the plastic shaders which I altered for the radio knobs, just changed the color.
Carrara native render engine with no post work.

Dragon - Daz Dragon 3, Custom Shaders using various Carrara shader controls with the original Dragon 3 maps
Scenery - EnvironKits - Badlands, Tower City, Dystopian Desert Destruction Kit
Rendered in Carrara 8.5 Pro - Postwork in Howler 11 (Color grading, signature, depth of field, Rosie's smoking barrel)
Discussion: Adding the dragon to the scene launched the idea of having the atmosphere really smoky. I started by using Carrara's Fog, which kinda got lost in the bright(ish) sky, so I made more fog that was quite dark - which is still fairly subtle, which I liked. But then it seemed to be begging for some fire so, again I went for Carrara's Fog and set the color to a very saturated yellow, then copied that to create one that's saturated orange. Made for a pretty nice looking fire, I thought.
TheAntFarm's Dystopian Desert Destruction Kit is a dream to work with. He really knows how to make efficient content, and this is truly one of them. Each storey is a separate prop, but we can load in presets to get closer to what we need fast. But being props, we can select any parts of the kit and duplicate it in Carrara, which I love. Much older is the Tower City, but that is still an awesome collection of nice, tall towers, construction, walls, etc., and is also all props and very efficient on the system.
