Tube launch

Working on creating thrusters for the Hyades ship by Tan J.
orig creation on effect

Scene launch

Launch bay

is a google 3d .skp model and was detailed but massive. Also, could not alter textures materials so stuck with it.

thnks

yeah I am trying to figure out color correction for those scenes in Sony Vegas- but it is being difficult to obtain, so, put it off till I get the next section- launch of raptor and MK II's then the entire scene will be ready for sounds, post. then off to find and Muck up some Tie Fighter Jocks day and scramble a star Destroyer into a trap lol maybe...

I got a couple of ideas on how to create a light jump- hopefully I wont forget them when it is time to do one.

No updates atm.

I still have some plans to do a BSG vs Empire battle as well. I had an opening crawl wrote up, if I can find it, I'll post it.

Thunderstruck · July 3rd, 2011, 01:24 PM

UPDATE !

New revamped Viper Thrusters.

was working on doing the Raptor but think I should try and find another model, the one I got does not look too good.

this video will contain craft from both shows.

some feedback on how it looks to you would be appreciated. most scenes were previously rendered on old machine. But added some color correction to them.
with My HD system it all looks like crap LOL, but the Scroll at end looks better on system than tube vid, you can see star colors. >> ?? << y IDK

since on a new comp and OS am having to restart and redo everything.
From model conversions to material assignments. So will have to build up all again. Though I had a few clips rendered, went ahead and used them in the intro.

This is a test of Intro. To see how it appears. Though with a HD screen now, am having trouble finding color correction, color adjustments and finding it looks plasticized. May be beyond my mere abilities as a noob CG Animator/artist on a self taught basis. but hell, even TV and films don't look good now with this new system and screen

That was pretty cool there, QH. Liked the Armitage. I can see what you're talking about with rendering that on an older machine. A little choppy at first, but it picks up. Nice models and texturing there.

And I'm largely self-taught on this stuff as well, very much a n00b, so don't feel bad.

gmd3d · July 20th, 2011, 02:35 AM

no don´t feel bad about it. we all started some where.

nice work none the less for all of that.....

did I see the Celestra in that last vid..... nice to see it used if so

Thunderstruck · July 22nd, 2011, 02:59 PM
