Hmm... you have a point there adl. I was kind of aiming for this kind of look though to make the lighting have a more dramatic effect. Didn't think it would look like shallow water... I think I'll leave it like that though (don't want to render these two shots over again.. would take about 6-7 hours).

EDIT: You changed your mind adl? user added image

Yeap buddy.
Carefully reruned it, and it seems I´m wrong.
Probably catched it on the back of my eye.

Must have looped the thing for a thousand times already. user added image

help

As the next shot is from inside the ship I need to model some stuff in the wheel house. I am out of ideas though and I don't like what I got so far. Ideas are more than welcome. Here's what I got at the moment:

... but i'd want to add some more "stuff" in the cabin instead of those dull black "panels". just can't think of what should i add...

EDIT: I just noticed how hard it is (at least for me) to create anything without decent references...

You need a radio, maybe with amic attached to one of those springy wire jobbies.

Perhaps some random guages, dials, switches and buttons.

I think the panel youve got there is possibly a bit big for all the things a boat of that size would need. You might think about cabinets, first aid box, maps on the walls, a small table, coffee mug. user added image

Hehheh. I think I'm boring you all with this thread. (Isn't he ever gonna finish it :p). Anyway, here's a preview of the shot #3. Would love to have some feedback. Here's my todo list for this atm:

- Head light fogs: not showing the effect i'd like
- Animate the radar screen
- Animate the noise on windows? opinions? or maybe add another layer of noise on top and animate it...
- Fix shadows. There are some weird artifacts going on...
- Fix TV screen. Yes the little box up in the corner is supposed to be a TV :p
- Age up the textures more...

you are going for a dogma cam feel inside the boat, right? in the preview clip in second 6-7 there is a little bump, which is a bit too hard if you ask me. the person holding the cam goes really fast to exactly the same position just before it got bumped (yes i know it shoots over a bit and comes back). looks to me like a too precice movement. suggestion: maybe after the cam got bumped it goes slower to where it was looking before using a slightly (but noticable) differant path. might be even worth to twist the cam during the bump a little.

other than that - great job user added image

Thanks guys!

I know the cam movement is a bit too exaggerated. I'll see what I can do (if i will re-render the whole shot that is...). Perhaps I can fix some of it in post...
