I've been making SFM renders for the last month or so

That's why I haven't really posted anything. I started out wanting to make animations but I'm pretty lame at that so I switched to 'scenebuilding' - where you produce a nicely composed scene from various models and render that with lights and particles. I'm happy to take requests if you have anything you'd like me to have a crack at.

 

This has been my most popular one so far:

 

 

In a scene like this the actual map is an empty void. Here's a series of pictures showing how I made this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like working with varied time periods to keep it fresh. The muskets and swords in this are from Assassin's Creed

 

 

This type is my favourite, the mech here was built from generators, radiators, gibs, and pipes from Half Life 2 and Day of Defeat

 

 

This is the only C&C render I've done so far. I was going to do a triptych from Dawn, Sun, and Twilight, with this as the leftmost 'Dawn' panel but I mucked up the formatting.

 

And the rest!

The light rays, shouldn't they travel from the cone of the lamp rather than the light source itself?

 

Other than that, the renders look interesting, but I am unfamiliar with the tools used. Am I correct in assuming most assets are not yours?
