Ok, here is a first run at rendering this "Big Bird".

Shiny out of the box...

Dantheman · 20 May 2009, 17:08

the third one is epic

boofredlay · 20 May 2009, 17:09

Thanks Bruce.
Well the original author called it "Big Bird" so I think I will stick with that.

Edit: Thanks Dan.

Spud?

liam887 · 20 May 2009, 17:10

yeah that third image in the clouds is good, is it finished yet?

boofredlay · 20 May 2009, 17:12

No, this was just a first try. I may even do multiple color schemes and what not.

liam887 · 20 May 2009, 17:17

A sharks teeth WW2 paint scheme would look pretty good you up for that?

eric
that really looks good.

Big Bird flies!

I did a few short animations, compiled it quickly with basic 'ol Windows movie maker, slapped on an audio track and we have the Big Bird music video.

If I had more time I'd have done better clean up and editing.

Sit back, crank up the sound (earphones would be best) and see Erics baby go.

Modeled in SU by Boofredlay, textured and animated with Vue 7 infinite.

Watch out Pixar!!!

Sincere congratulation on a fantastic piece o' work.

pilou · 20 May 2009, 23:43

Very pleasant to see!
It's a little pity that we can't listen the motor roar!

Dantheman · 21 May 2009, 00:56

I am NOT interested is staring that thing down

Grate work Erik and Solo

boofredlay · 21 May 2009, 01:45

Wow Pete, that was great!

Frederik · 21 May 2009, 07:19

Fantastic, Pete...!!
Great to see some of the capabilities of Vue...
In particular I liked the shot from inside the cockpit and out, where the plane is turning...
That actually looked real...!

sepo · 21 May 2009, 07:34

Solo this looks fantastic... very impressive. I need to look at Vue again.
Question..was it time consuming to set up animation?

It must have taken time, cause most of the transitions in views are edited matches the beat in the music...

Marian · 21 May 2009, 10:00

AWESOME!!

teofas · 21 May 2009, 21:12

excellent work on the model and on the animation!!!

tomsdesk · 21 May 2009, 23:10

Fan-Damn-Tastic!

arail1 · 21 May 2009, 23:41

Man is that spectacular! Nothing in my workflow would justify buying or learning a program like Vue which is frustrating. That must have been fun to do!

Maybe I need to do an animation of a stair spiraling through space for one of my clients - And here's a view of your project falling out of an airplane and plunging to earth! Cool, right?
