with sound.

Modelled, animated, and rendered in Maya with Mental Ray
Composited with AfterEffects.

That... was fast. So fast that I can't really appreciate the design of the ship yet

Aresius

I second that. First scene: too fast, second scene: too far away.

That's a very nice ship!

I agree with BorgMan and Aresius, these two shots would work amazing in the middle of a larger montage or scene, but IMO they don't work on their own, the ship simply doesn't shine enough.

spacefighter

good shots but it would be nice to see some others which are slow enough to show off the ship's design. as others have said, they would be good as part of a longer clip and would have a lot of potential use on a film.

In the second shot, I'd recommend turning on edge pixels if possible for the atmosphere to get rid of the faded edge.

yes: these two shots are just middle shots of a longer sequence.

as for edge pixels, would that be in the comp or the render.

Stormcloud

can we see a close up still of the ship somewhere?

ah found the turn table of it - nice looking ship and your render scenes going into orbit cool too

As I said before, in that case they are perfect. :thumb:

I know, but it's just that this isn't much to go on. Too WIP to let the viewer really see anything. That's the problem a bit...

Hey Stormcloud, sharing is caring
