10 seconds. I think it's all the textures that are making it take longer. It will look good in the end though.

Setback........in the form of a power failure. I'll have to start scene 6 all over again, and it was more than halfway done.

Ok, scene 6 is in production again, and re-imagined too. A Crimson Viper is landing in the bay (I figure this is a good way to show the flashing guide lights), the camera will follow, and at the end of the shot the shuttle is entering the bay.

I like the added texture at the rear of the landing bay .. nice touch ....
I am hoping to incorporate the landing bay in the Galactica that I am planing to build once the Celestra and the 2 other model I have committed myself to building for the fan Film .. The Rising Star and the Prison Barge .. But the Galactica will
not be for that .. (first It won't be made in time and the one by westy is fantastic .. and I nowhere that good .

at the moment

Are you talking about the one above, in the middle of the atmospheric shield generators?

rendering is taking longer in the launch area, so rather then doing a week long render and fearing a power failure or systems crash, i'm dividing it up. If all goes well, it should be seamless. I'll post a test edit 3 once scene 6 is done.

I know that recent version of Blender 3D and macs are having issues rendering to quicktime movies....so for major renders I use Respower.com. Cost is $20-04 a month, and you can only render frames and import into a movie using QT Pro. (not a big deal)

I'm not sure if they support Bryce or not and if they do what the costs are like.

Thanks, but I gotta go the "no money" route for economic reasons.

Ty, sir.
To answer your question, what comes next, is getting the shuttle into launch position and launching the shuttle itself.
