Hi,
Some might remember I had some problems while working on this last year.
Anyway here's one of the final animations.

The animation is not done in terragen, Just rendered a big image, and camera mapped it onto the lowres geometry in cinema4D, where the antennas were added and also the animation. Thanks for watching.
Cheers
Luis.

and a second animation here http://www.eso.org/public/videos/almaanimation1/
very nice, the hi res mov isworth the wait...looks great, are the models freeware? and are the small discs on the ground solar panels?
cheers
Jason
Thanks. The Disks are the radio telescopes. They will act as a single telescope by combining the radio-light from the 50+ antennas. very cool tech going on there.

Unfortunately the models are not freeware, they're actually highly detailed engineering models so i cannot share them.
no worries, if you dont ask...!
cheers for the info, very interesting stuff!
