Today: The Wile e Coyote on the Serenity :)

In fact most of the animationrendering is finished.
Not really easy to cut such a short comic-like film - and while using the MS Moviemaker as usual for test animations, I missed a 3rd track for adding a booster sound (and some others).

But I hope you'll have some fun anyway.
Here the (not officially YT listed) animation exclusively for my TG Forum friends :)

Thanks Ulco :)

Meanwhile a little correction: During my lunch time I posted the video officially on YT. There you can also find the credits for the 3D models in the description.

;D ;D Thanks, Doc! Great to start the week with a smile. Don't know how you manage to turn these around so quickly.

Wow that was great! The animation was very smooth and color and lighting looked great. Reminded me a bit of space jam. Cartoon - and real life, though it was all 3D. lol


DocCharly65

Thank you all, my friends :)

Steve, it was not so quickly as you may think. I had the advantage of a quite render-ready scene: The space dock in many angles and from different views. Additionally during working on the Airwolf animation I already had prepared some Coyote fbx files on MIXAMO. But the space dock has the longest history of rerenderings of I'd say 5-6 years. In this time I increased render quality, changed 3D models and so on...

But -- No matter how long it takes to complete the project, I appreciate everyone who shares my insane sense of humor ;)

...almost 3 months later  ::)

sorry folks but since some months I really had nothing really new to show. I reworked some scenes in my fan film, the most of you already know.
And unfortunately it's no new landscape or specially Terragen related stuff within.
But I wanted to let you know that I'm alive and still working on that project :)  -- harder than before :)


In the new YT video you'll see a new room I discovered in Raul Mamoru's lovely Enterprise model. The Enterprise REC (Recreation deck)
The "trekkiest specialists" of you will surely remember the scene I want to quote (strongly modified) in my film... ;)


Some more description in the YT description.
...and I'll go on animating 47 different people in the REC Room...  ::) :P

But meanwhile: Have fun and enjoy.

Glad to hear you're doing fine, Nils!! This looks wonderful again. I don't envy you your work on animating all those people. I've said it before, but I really admire your tenacity! Keep going.... and also (in the meantime) keep healthy!

DocCharly65

Thank you very much, Ulco, glad to hear you seem fine too :)

Yes a special challenge is to animate people who must interact with each other. But additionally it requires concentration and conscientiously too, to avoid that objects and/or persons merge with each other or into each other -- fight the glitches... ;D



And now - In the next days it's time again to look what happened here in Image Sharing... :)

DocCharly65

Just a second ago I remembered an example of my fight against the glitches:

Fortunately, I previously rendered a low-resolution test from this view. Would you have seen straight away that Lara Croft grabbed the White Canary's buttocks? So incredibly embarrassing!



:P :o

Dune

I didn't see that, but I did now! It would be fun if you could have one person step out of another person, like a dragonfly releasing itself from its youth panzer.

I love these videos. Seeing all my favorite science fiction mashed together into awe inspiring, and humorous shots.

DocCharly65

Thanks Jordan :) That was the plan - science fiction mashed together ;)

Ulco, your suggestion is in fact within my plan though a bit different and very hard to animate.
I want to let someone "open" his body like a kind of suit and get out as someone else... 

But that's far in the future... :)
