Thread: Simple cutscene test with mothership

    Simple cutscene test with mothership

    Hi folks,

    I think I found the basic shape for the mothership of the enemy and also made a simple anim that shows the mothership launching stinky bugs ;D (I love that name)
    I know, space is not blue, it was more a movement test.

    Have fun
    Michael

    Hi Mike,

    this is ... GREAT !
    I like it very much, I don't know what to say !

    Stinky bugs ;D are ultimate ships, it is weird feeling to see how they are launched to fight... really good moment.

    I have one idea to make your animating life harder - I have seen in some war movies that pilots after taking off tried to "wave" ( joystick left-right-left-right... ) with wings for few times. It probably served to check functionality of flaps, it could add sensation of live beasts inside.


    Perfect,
    Petr

    The final scene will be something like this:

    you see a space station...
    some ship comming an going...
    then the camera moves away from the station...
    towards a planet....
    the camera moves around the planet...
    and there you see one or two motherships...
    hiding behind the planet and waiting for the attack...
    then you see stinky bugs launching...
    heading towards the space station.

    Good scene Mike!,

    I bet it will become your next perfect animation !
    Maybe you could find handy following textures, which Matthew pointed out some time ago. I will use the same in game. They are quite hi-res, so good for CG rendering too.


    Thanks,
    Petr

    Well guys, I think this will be my last post with content before I go away for 5 days on monday. This is a little more colored test also with particles for the engine streams. Mothership got a texture and some turets under the hull. Still, this is just a test, but I like it and wanted to show it to you.

    Take care
    Michael

    Mike, that is really nice, what a nice going away present from you. Hope you have a nice vacation and recharge the creative batteries!!

    The mothership textured looks really great with the attack ships coming out too. Thanks for this inspiring movie!!
