This took about 4 hours to do.  It's based on the work of Roman Kochnev.

Let me sum it up:

4 hours for:
- modelling of wings, body, etc. (spatch ?)
- drawing of the texture maps
- modelling additional stuff (guns, etc.)
- put everything together
- adding some glows
- Building up a nice lighting and camera position

You must either be cheating or using some advanced AI reading your

Nice pict. BTW.

I don't see why, they don't do anything that can't be done with media or 
tricks with highlights on transparent objects...they are just a bit 
faster.

    They are a -lot- faster, easier to manipulate and get the parameters
right, and usually have a nicer effect with hours less trouble. Therefore
people will use them. I wouldn't feel bad putting a thousand in a scene if
it needed it. If I had to mess with media for that I would find another way
to do the scene.

Thanks for the link...I don't have near enough time to cruise around looking
for these type of sites.

As far as the model...looks superb, yet it's a shame you hide a large amount
of detail with low lighting.

Do you plan these things in your sleep?  Or do you just have a patch lead
hooked up to every member of the family so that you can use their

Actually, it *is* an atmospheric effect, similar to the halo you see 
around lights in fog. Otherwise, they wouldn't reflect or be visible 
behind transparent objects. :-)

I am thinking of a lens flare effect though...it would mostly be like a 
glow, but with slightly different behavior and more flare-like features. 
Or maybe I'll just do a lens flare post_process filter...that might 
allow much more realistic flares.

It is true actually that almost all people have a slight astigmatism which
makes lights have a slight flare effect. This is why we do not always see
stars as perfect dots of light, and also why some people shouldn't have
laser eye surgery (which can greatly exaggerate the effect).

I was not claiming otherwise, but that is not the effect that the glow 
patch simulates, though it looks so similar it can be used for that 
effect.
