While the render jobs for the animations are running a few first impressions. Since the rendering time is a maximum of 30-40 minutes per image, I have decided to integrate more "newcomers" (characters that you would never expect on the Enterprise) in the movie.
I think especially Hannes and Bobby were big fans of "Rosy" from Renderpeople. I could do a limited rigging - so here you are
:
[attach=1] [attach=2]
Lara Croft is well known, but as you can see from the climbing axes, she has a problematic temperament - sometimes...
[attach=3]
Ripley as she just puts her hand on the railing ... A lot of work with positioning in the animation
[attach=4]
Uhura, McCoy and Scotty: A bit complicated - I will see in some days if the characters move and act synchonously...
[attach=5]
In the meantime, I have made preparations so that almost all the displays on the bridge are animated. Whether I also re-render older film passages from the bridge I do not know yet.
