You're still right Kadri  :)
And I'm also still right  :D

Difficult to explain but I'll try:

The 99% TG rendered point:
Perhaps you understand my fanatism to render most of the film and do minimum in postwork this way: See me as the crazy guy who builds eg. the complete Vatican with matches within let's say 5 years. Of course that's stupid because with some bigger parts of wood and a variety of power tools, drills, routers , circular saws, jigsaws and packets of blades you could finish that in 1-2 months. But then it would not be the Vatican in matches.

So I sometimes use additional tools if they are necessary but the basic project stays the film completely rendered in TG... I must admit that the project TG3 in Space had to be converted... Most of my tgd's don't work under TG3 any more since TG4  ;) ;D


A new status report: I chose the wrong 4D noise speed for the fog - so I had to check this. While doing that I found out that I forgot to play with the clouds acceleration dropdown list and that I was too lazy yesterday night to try quality-values between 12 and 4... 4 was too grainy and I think with 12 I chose a too big value.

Testing some more values now... let's see what happens  :)


Kadri


Nah i understand you Nils  ;D
It is just i lost so long for render times i am not a purist anymore. Of course you do it in the way you want.
I rendered some clouds in half resolution, even smaller.
But if i had more time,money i would render them in Terragen in 4K resolution if i could :D

... got it, Kadri  ;)

reduced all render times to app. 20-30 minutes per frame.
Maybe I can add a scene with a discussion between "Helmet and Alien" why the Alien has eaten the duck ... or not? Or something completely different? Keep anxious to see  ;) :o 8)

Now I'm just waiting, too...


Some frames from different scenes/views:

"In the Trap":
[attach=1]

The Alien (named "Marge") unsettled because of her updo hairstyle:  ;D ;)
[attach=2]   [attach=3]

Talking Comdr. Adama in Helmet:
[attach=4]   [attach=5]

Hannes

Cool! Looks impressive!

Kadri


Yes looks nice.
Not sure about the Alien Queen shader. Maybe it looks better in the animation Nils?

Ok - usually I try not to mix categories here but I hope I'll be forgiven in this case.


Kadri, this will be the average quality (only "pre-"upscaled to 1920x1080 later)

Story or conversation of the actors could vary  :D 8)


DocCharly65

Just some little additions to the whole alien scene...
I hope some specialists will recognize one or the other of the the allusions  ;)

One very simple scene with only some heavily illuminated cubes and some disks:

[attach=2]  [attach=3]


I was looking for the model since beginning of the Alien Queen scene - but last weekend I found out the name I had to look for: So welcome the drinking bird :)

[attach=4]  [attach=1] 


And a 2-3 second role for Ripley:

[attach=5]  [attach=6]

Ripley's got a line across her nose, but perhaps that's in fashion at the station?  ;)
I like that bird staring at the can, and the background with all the instruments is impressive.

yossam

Aah, that line, interpreted it as an ugly shadow.

Youre all right.
Unfortunately the line IS an ugly shadow!
Nose is lit from above and from the bottom and the not so perfect nose quality of FaceGen Modeller causes almost a line as shadow.


Hope you will forgive me for the seconds of her appearence!
