Battlestar Apocalypse: The Battle Begins Pt 1

[Thunderstruck]

Let's not keep our Cylon friends waiting....


Yeah its another post of a video, the same video, only this one has more in it.

Am thinking of stopping here and calling it Part 1. Still needs some touch ups here and there.

I have finally done a Battle with big ships. And also made a few shots I have been wanting to try and make
for 4 years. The ship explosions came out I think pretty good,considering it truly is my first
attempt with these models.

I wished I knew more, wished I could do it Hollywood, wished I could make it a badass short.
But, wishful thinking is just that!. So, I present the best that I can make at present.


Hope you like it.

Very cool and well done! It's obvious that took a lot of time and energy from watching it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, it means alot.

Might as well keep you folks apprised of updates on this, as it will take some time
just to finish this part 1.

Tips, Suggestions, Comments are welcomed, and may find that you can add to this also.


Here is a few updated clips for this video without showing the whole updated video.

Update Clips to be included in next Battlestar Apocalypse pt 1 video release.

Vipers clip re shot to include refocus on Battlestar, was 2 clips is now one.
Fixed the Viper cockpit structure canopy.Also removed Light source causing fog reflection in canopy on right side.
Re lit Sequence due to upload compression and Sony MP4 rendering.


Still really sucks that I get a good render in C4d and it gets ruined by SonyMP4 render and upload compression.

Also See my post Flaming Text Battle, would like others opinions on it.

Battlestar Apocalypse: The Battle Begins Pt1 wip#2

Full Length Video of Pt1 updated.

https://vimeo.com/97607889

And the first update clip for wip#2 if anyone is watching this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57w4DRF4M2Q

Corrected Viper Rounds clip 1
Re lit scene and added New Raider Thruster/Lights/Flare
Re render of Cockpit. -
--Due to the nature of the animated textures and how applied,
and that I no longer have the necessary files to edit, other than the actual animated texture
that I made several years ago. I would have to PS every single frame for each channel of Luminance- Color- and poss. Alpha.That's over 300 frames of meticulous PS work.
So, I turned off Luminance all together, tried re lighting it some to at least help the Color channel.

Feedback is appreciated.
