hi.
here's my new work.
a good old viper lands on a remote airfield, far away from the capital city.
this started as a grass exercice and turned up quite well.
there are 3 different grass blades, scatered on 2 different 2meter circles, with 4 different textures, turned into 2 different vray proxies (to save the memory)
then, i scatered the proxies on a terrain.
then i decided to make a viper land.
i think there are about 60 milions grassblades, and a few trees.
color correction and compositing in after effect.
hope you like it
tell me what you think
edit: with or without grain?

Still nice work. :thumb:
Another thing: Did the BSG Vipers have wheels or landing skids? I can't remember for sure, but I seem to recall that whenever the Vipers had to make a "hard landing" on the Galactica flight deck, there were always sparks trailing from the landing gear. That, and the fact that they had VTOL capability, implies that they may have had skids instead of wheels. Like I said, I'm not sure but it's worth checking into.
BSG-old had sort of hybrid landing gear, wheels inside of skids. I think the new ones just have skids.
i've been waaaaay too happy with the blur trigger.
i had a 800*450version that worked just fine. but for some reason, the same focal settings and compositing didnt worked out so good in hd...
i'll redo a new version when i'll have some time.
i know about bsg landing skids. i just hate them. even once you have landed, you have to move. how can viper do their taxiing with hard skids ? or move from their parking into their tubes?
these are more fonctional landing gear.
Remember that the Viper MKII DOES have wheels on the landing gear...
At least, the prop does...
:-)
i'd play with brighter colors
