Gone back to try and pull this model to a more usable level. It was my third place entry for a older challenge here.

Here is were I left it.

The biggest problem at the time was having to render out the ship in 5 parts as my old rig would not take it.

The new rig handles it fine so no more problems there.

Just rendered a simple fly bye.

Watch it here

Just trying to figure out how to do some cool engine effects to comp on to the back (Any tips or tut`s would be gladly accepted at this point as I am at a loss right now), and maybe put some smaller ship flying past. This is def a W.I.P at this point not a finished thing so crits please.

What type of effect are you looking for tweetytunes, if you are looking for a jet plane exhaust I could have a look at the space ship I did and get some of the setting from that. I should make notes.................dave

Looks nice, I would slow down the speed however.
Keep in mind, big things move slower than small things, it had shocky movement as well, but that could be because of bandwidth issues

:beer:

Yer jet like I think would be perfect daverave.

mastone - yer it be a lot slower was going for just the feel of the thing.

One thing though - what do you mean with the "it had shocky movement" - I have no idea what you mean.

As for bandwidth it is a very small file (2.2 meg) but I am using 20 meg broadband

I mean the ship moved like it was skipping frames , but that could be because of the compression you put on the movie ( to heavily compressed) or because the bandwidth of your server is to low or that my internet speed is to slow which in both cases causes lagging, or what I call shocky movement ;)

I will try and get some thing for you tomorrow...................dave

Hop this helps..........dave

OMG thank you.

I wish I was more awake right now to jump straight into maya and get going with this - it looks perfect for what I want. Skipped though it and the end result perfect match to what is in my head.

Thank you for taking the time and making a video for me - it will most certainly help me out with this a long way.
