Watch out Pixar!!!

Sincere congratulation on a fantastic piece o' work.

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

I am NOT interested is staring that thing down

Grate work Erik and Solo

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...

AWESOME!!

teofas · 21 May 2009, 21:12

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

Fan-Damn-Tastic!

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?

Crazy

great model, fantastic animation.
The soundtrack is great but could use a little help with an overdub of a roaring engine fading in and fading out (at the right time of course ).
Just a tought,

I started working a bit on some landing gear last night but did not get too far. Today at the office we are pretty dead so I decided to learn some new Photoshop techniques.

FIRE ! ! !

urgen · 5 Jun 2009, 19:15

...... cool BOO! ... .....Fire once again!

princedragoncok · 5 Jun 2009, 20:42

wow that animation was deadly, how long did it take to render?

solo · 6 Jun 2009, 00:59

Thanks.

Actually the animation went pretty fast, I'd say it took about 3 hours total rendering, the part where the plane goes through the cloud was the slowest part (took about an hour and a half)
I used an i7 (8 cpu threads)no network (have not set one up for this computer yet)

I wonder how you guys model all those organic meshs on sketchup.... this looks pretty impossible for me ;/~
Any ref tutorial?!
