I brought my eagle created by a guy by intials JM into lightwave 2018 I started going through each surface - changing them to the principled shader type in lightwave. Simple one point light source.
The model is nice, but the textures are low quality. At some point i'm going to build upon the model and start making high def parts. Bring the whole thing into substance painter and bring metals from aircraft onto it.
Post effects are done in Fusion- CC, blur, glow, grain - push it from a very cg look into the realm of models and film look. I blew out the brightness so it looks more like something in deep space.
Alain Rivard created his cg model with a Blue screen and invited a bunch of us to have some fun with it - Using standard Blue screen removal techniques and colorizing we get a nice space image of a very detailed eagle in HD. He's made a whole series of high rez 3d models against blue screens.
