Spaceweed + Over Optimized Rudder = Imperial preview vid

[Avis]

This was going to be part of my work in progress X2-Music video No3 (maybe rammstein,, maybe somthing else) anyway the pilots of these Argon Novas obviously had been hitting the spaceweed a bit heavy and ordered a few too many rudder optimizations

ok I admit somthing went horribly wrong with the 3D scene and,, well,, lets just say what you see wasn't what I had in mind

lolol

was that using X2 or did you render it?

If it was X2 how on earth did you get em to do that?

looks like it will be good when finished

Pixel, it's rendered in 3Dstudio MAX, but I take the fact you had to ask as a compliment that I got the ships close enough

the problem I've had is 3Dsmax unit scale to metric unit scale conversion which accidently happened to the file, it kinda buggered up all the atmospherics (nebula, engine jets weapon fire, explosions etc) as well as orientation, for some reason I havnt fathomed yet (but will ) I allowed the fighters to bank up to 90 degrees either way (as they fly along a preset track/path), but that 90 degrees turned into 90-soming else where 4 is closer to the original value (maybe clock face,, hell knows) so 90 = lots of spinning :-\

Definitely one for the Outake Reel on The Return. See if Bernd will buy it for the CD/DVD!

bloody hell Avis, I'm impressed.

That is good stuff, in spite of (because of ?! ) the spaced out pilots.

Very cool. I await with amazement the finished product.

Any others I should see but missed?

I've done 2 previous music vids based on X-Tension to the tune of Rammstein, 1st was a bit cack really but I was playing with basic animation, the 2nd is on the X2 CD in fanfiction folder (fanvid.mpg I think) which was also quite basic but I got to try out some slightly more advanced animation (for me at the time) and this current one I'm kinda putting together what Ive learnt since then,,, ie how to make a Argon Fighter Pilots brain go slurp in 10 seconds

I'll be posting the finished vid here once its done,, no deadline yet, but a large portion of the animation is already done, just the tricky bits left to do

[fireblade]

i hope those pilots have taken the motion sickness hypos

you know something that gives me an idea

if you seperate the cockpit section from the wings with a bearing and throw in a gyroscope or two to keep the cockpit stable

you could get an interesting ship design

note fireblade advanced technologies has already registered a patent for the idea so no one think about stealing it or ill set the most feared force in the universe on you

Lawyers

i might be willing to liscense out the design for the right price though

youre welcome to your freakish design

[fireblade]

you know freakish designs went quite a way to helping win wars in the past

but I think this particular freakish desgn may revolutionise fair ground rides but in actual battle ,, I am not so convinced

[Howlingmad]

But Fireblades idea will have a benefit of rotating the shields so that any spread of fire that hits the ship will spread over the whole set of shields rather than just one.

Some people have way too much time on their hands lol. Excellent, might have to set that as my backdrop.

Cyteen out

[RustiSwordz]

I like it.

Nice n wacky....
