Hey!

I need your help here. What do you think about the explosion on the arcadia. Good, bad, improvments etc.

   

This next $hit is a nebula animation. A Sathanas flying in a dense red nebula. This was a test animation for something Aldo wanted.

Holyeee ****! That Arcadia is 0wnT!

The Sathanas, Beams and Arcadia are all perfect - perhaps a couple of shockwaves for the explosion? other than that I can almost feel the camera shaking from the blast... woah!

The beams look great, but not like Sathanas ones. Looks like some fusion weapon, when the beams are ... slick? But those looks terrible  

edit: just d/led the divx. It's cool, but the sathanas moves too fast, so it looks quite smaller than it should be. But I ^suppose the purpose is to show off the nebulae, and I must say: wow! Looks like 3dsmax volumetric fog to me, no?

Yeah, that really looks like my nebula animation tests on MAX (remember the one with the supersonic Fenris? It was something like that  )...

What kind of volumetrics did you use on it?
Probably away. Contact through email.

I used just environment fog. I tried with volume fog but that didn't look so good. For the fog I used the same map as environment nebula map and then animated it (resized the nebula from 15 to 16 every 100 frames)

My gosh... that is damn cool. However, those Sathanas beams just aren't FS-ey - they're definitely not bad, I just don't think those are BFReds (you may or may not want this). But the explosion effect is top-notch. Amazing - as is the Sathanas/nebula animation. If you can get that Sathanas to have its glow affect the nebula around it, and make it move more slowly (not that that's a problem), that will be amazing.

I especially like what's happening to that Arcadia... it looks like it's disintegrating rather than just blowing up.

I must say that it looks like something out of a cutscene movie.  Very very good work.

I finally found a replacement for the crashed Valk I've had on my desktop for the last, oh, six months.
