Title: JJ Abrams LensFlare Drive
Post by: DocCharly65 on May 10, 2020, 06:23:57 AM
The not really working ALF Drive (Abrams Lense Flare Drive) will cause a failure of artificial gravitation.

I had to animate the floating minions in Blender3D because they didn't look good with mixamo animation.

...some monster renderjobs in the pipeline here...  :o ::)

Just an actual overview what's happening.
This Time I use the cloud again for video upload. On my YT channel I already have a mess that even I almost don't know what is what from when and why and... you understand :)

First some finished renders. Many of them are AA8 because below that value I could not get rid of extreme flickering. Deactivating reflections or highlights was either unsuccessful or destroyed the whole look...

This one was rendering quite fast: The "Abrams Enterprise " leaving drydock and the first time stuttering drive...

The view inside the drive is a 3.5 h per frame render even on the "gen 9 12core  i7" but I think quite worth the time.

This one was fast rendering and much fun to create: The absolute breakdown of the "ALF Drive" :)
https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvEpmvBUHi6qg5kBochcA1salofpWQ?e=Xjjmqf (https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvEpmvBUHi6qg5kBochcA1salofpWQ?e=Xjjmqf)

And now one of the rendertime monsters again... I only had an older 4th generation i7 left and this only is the half of the animation... the second half will be finished in approx. 30-40 days  ::)
The floating Minions... I don't regret a second rendertime here either.

Another part of the "peaceful times episodes" I announced in the image topics before.
They all belong to each other so I show some here... in the drydock we first see the SpaceX crew dragon  (only very raw):

...and the start of the Normandy - who remembers where this ship belogs to?? ;) ;D
https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvEpmvBUHi6qg5kCnU5nC0xNcK4CiA?e=K0D3GP (https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvEpmvBUHi6qg5kCnU5nC0xNcK4CiA?e=K0D3GP)

I hope the links work.
In some Browsers you can watch the videos instantly but the quality is of course better if you download the vids.
