Ok...the Teaser Trailer got post-poned.
Engine lighting took longer than expected. In fact just about everything took longer than expected. It's really slow going in general, especially as my PC runs out of memory half way through my work and takes forever to render even test renders.
However, work IS progressing slowly but surely. I'm not 100% satisfied with this test render below, but at least I'm getting there. The purpose of this test was to familiarize myself with the breakout and compositing.
The engines still need some tweaking and I made some mistakes. I didnt break out the name-lights so they are brighter than they should be.
I WILL animate someday soon, I swear by the Lords of Kobol lol. I just need to get setup and test some things and make sure stills look ok before I animate.
I'm DYING to animate, so dont worry, even if it's a 10 second shot of the galactica I will do one soon
For now...
9 Layer Breakout and Compositing Test
