Ok… well im finally back in buisness with my new laptop…
I had to scrap my toon movie project as my files were stolen from my old comp.
So i figured my next film project will be in space.
The following image is only part of the first ship model. It will have 4 independent engine pods mounted on and also have grappler arms to boot!
Got the idea from a favorite series of mine… can anyone guess? other models to come and would like some ideas on making the laser fire affects… never got em to halo just right…
Hehe, well heres the first ship updated with adjustments and engines. Working on grappler arms as i type so… stay tuned to see final ship model. After that ill work on a setup to show it off in space. after that itll be to making the other ships.
[EDIT] also gonna add the ether drive too… forgot to mention that. also have grapplers built. currently rigging entire unit and then wil texture… hehe fun…
OK well i have had a new breath of inspiration and am currently chnging my project to a new criteria… kingdom hearts series.
have alwways liked the games and story and figure i will make a nice movie based off that universe.
for resources so far… tons of pictures for char reference, setting, weapons, etc., working on scene layouts and storyboards now so maybe ill post some of em for your c&c… also welcome anyone to join me on this venture as the scale of it is rather daunting… if anyone would like to pitch anything… much appreciated otherwise just stay in touch for progress… gonna juggle this and college hehe…
also have a few tracks to run the video with… might throw in dialoque too…
itll mostly be a twist on the story kh through kh2(chain of memories included and researching final mix )
ah im kinda obsessed with this new idea casue the resources are already there and i dont have to start from scratch… true the model are from scratch but the images i have help A LOT. maybe ill work on both… who knows…
also. ill put first scene script up here soon… just gotta sort out sequences so they flow with the music(which will be prob 3 songs edited for prime impression) one song will be very fimiliar to most
Your ship is very good . Too bad you are leaving that project. If u want i can help you with your new Kingdom hearts project but i must warn u that i am not very good at animating and character modeling so if u need help with anything else just ask
The ship kind of reminded me of the Grazi ships from Cosmic Rift
not sure if that’s what you were going frr, though. Although, a CR or Subspace movie would be kind of neat methinks
and if you all feel that way about the starship project then i can stop production of the kh project for now…
all i have done for it it about half the scenes planned out and storyboards made…not to mention my pics from variuos kh shrines. still need to boot up my kh2 game so i can get stills of twighlight town for the fighting.
so i can leave those files waiting for now and work on ship2… is someone would pitch in some texturing i can upload my blend onto my forum for a download(or limewire if you have that… direct ip) maybe bitorrent…
also… anyone wanna showcase some explosions here?? i can put up a few if yall want… maybe find that link to that one place that had the tut and some good explosions…
my ultimate goal here is a nice movie with a short story kinda behind it and to hopefully get enough feedback from the community to build up a archive of links and files for anyone that ever wants to do space related projects…
but if anyone wants to pitch in be my guest and ill send ya any file needed… if ya looking for something to do i can give ya something objective to work on toward this project and in the end be shown in credits if ultimatley desired…
anyways… i guess ill work on space project… for now… i actually spent most of yesterday building a crude robot from the top of my head possibly as a pilot or mech suit for space… pic being shown in a sec…
also… the name of the show was Outlaw Star… great show… love and still watch it…
I have the whole OLS series on DVD, i want the manga, my fave anime, its old, it was out when anime wasnt quite so popular, butit is soooo awesome!!! everyone should check into it…
hmm i dont know bour that… that battlevessel looked like some scaled out horn…
but im am officially gonna work on the space project… figure if i want better quality outta the kh one then ill do space one to work on effects…
any wanna pitch in then voice it.
ill have an enemy ship pic here soon so bear with me i guess…
also… off topic but anyone notice the amount of people who have been dragged to naruto? i am afraid i am one of em… course could be lack of good shows on right now hehe…
okay well heres my progress as of one hour before posting…
got an enemy ship statrted and i think the design will be awesome.
played with proportional editing tool and found it to save me hours of vertex pushing. much recommended for any craft or model in general as very powerful!!
anyways… this ship is more or less light fighter with standard guns and some various missle types nothing special. kinda stealin most of ideas from o.s. so bear with me here…
guns… vulcan and laser
missles… standard homing plus hack anchors…
maybe lime can explain those beauties to yall i find them the most ingenious thing to ever be invented for space combat
(besides really cool grappler arms to tear stuff apart with)
also… the yellow fang… well there will two of those and as you may figure out they will be so tearing into the hull of enemy ships… pretty cool eh?
now for the pics i so diligently made for all my fans.
ok well ima post a pic of the ship so far later today on this post …
it looks sweet so far… and dont mind the colors… their just part of my modeling technique…
btw… in case anyone was wondering about that… i use a top view cast per say i made outta a curve and then using any primitive shape (cube, cylinder, etc) i extrude and pull the body to the shape i want it…
i admit it does require great imagination and constant focus so to align the picture in my mind to the one being made… its also very gratifying to see the finished work at the end of the day. and as to the colors… they just differenciate between diferent sections… so i can weed out portions and visualize the look and feel of it so to aplytextures and what not…
anyways… pic is here!
so… whats been done so far… well have a mirror modifier on both the fang and the body…
got part of rear arm socket done. havent gotten front arm socket yet… also, the front cockpit is done but needs textures…
also… dont know if ive said so yet but ima gonna redo the first ship afterward…
