Nice lighting rig man!

1st 6 lights attached to the rig...

May now be the time to dust of your disco trousers & perhaps even boggie a little bit...:p

"You make me feel like dancing....."
"Gunna dance the night away..."

:: Quick update ::

I gave the top 6 lights on rig some simple animation. Thought I'd post the result.

It's only software rendered for this test but looks ok for now :D

I think I'll hold off on doing any more disco lighting for a while and try to finish the rest of the night club. I really wish I knew more about this maya stuff :blush:

:: BACK AGAIN ? ::

Wow its been a while since any progress on this one ;)

I have been very busy of late with other Maya projects and work. But finally got a chance to add something new. :attn:

This is a video pass showing a possible camera trak through night club with some light animation as well. I also went to the trouble of shooting some dancers on greenscreen so I could composit them into the shot. Its worth a look and I would love to hear your thoughts......

Small Update...

Made a dance cage and a new spinning light...

I would love to also add a disco ball (mirror ball) but cannot work out how to do this :confused:

If anyone has any ideas - please let me know...
