So here is an update on my CG Galactica project. Finally got most of the Cylon Raider completed. This is a very hard ship to model. More detail will be added later. But this bad boy is ready for flight and attack in my CG world.    |

Well here is a teaser trailer I made. It contains some of the animation sequence I've already shown you, but I've added something cool. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7jFCAdxh-w |

So I've been doing my homwork and found a nice way to create a better star field. Here is the result.  |

Looks great!
My only small complaint is the "you are filming this" look that this has, like the new Galactica show. I know a lot of people like that look, so I guess it's just my own pet peeve.

I here ya Vulpa2... I don't really plan to use too much of that kind of animation. But as a student of CG arts, I was just testing out a few things. I always thought it would look soooo cool to look out a window and see the classic Galactica that way. Anyways, I re-did the same scene, but changed a couple things. First off, the Vipers in original sequence was in sync with the camera shake... Oops, so I corrected this and also changed their flight path a bit. www.youtube.com/user/danakinobi?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/TIxv-XY9DjUMy next project will be a sequence with the vipers landing and maybe some cockpit stuff. These scenes take about a day for me to cook(render) before I can see the finale result. |

Much better! I'm on the fence about 'shaky cam' though. On one hand it's a definite signature of RDM's series and not really in keeping with 70's era sci-fi. On the other hand if done right can add a fantastic level of realism to an otherwise fanciful setting. I suppose it would depend on weather the producer was going for a Star Wars or Firefly feel to his production.
Keep up the great work!

Well, I'm more going for the firefly thing... I was a huge fan of the show. But i'm not going to get to crazy with it.
I just wanted to try out something cool.
I'm currently working on a landing sequence... Stay tuned.

Oh wow- I think LiveWire is right, it does make it feel a lot more 'real' with the camera motion... Looking really good.

Here is a little update on my Galactica project. Learning some new rendering techniques and also trying out a new render engine. Downside is it increased the render time, but the reward is awesome. Also I worked on some more realistic hull plating.    |

I decided to start over from scratch with my CG Galactica. I just started working on making the small components to give the ship bulk.  |

Hello, It's been a while since I posted any of my CG work on this site. I've had a few emails lately from folks on this site wanting to know how the project is going and asking for me to post updates here. So here are some shots from my project.    Here it a title sequence "concept" that I worked on.  Here is the latest scene I was working on too.  It's really nice to know people were interested in seeing more. |
