Well, here it is.3 weeks of effort and work all balled up into a video.

Episode I

I know there is a typo in crawl text and the animation is a bit cheesy and unfluid like, but am just getting my feet wet on it. takes some knowledge and experience to get good results and that takes time, especially with no course material on it.
IOW's no tuts-manuals

Did not turn out as good as I had hoped.

-- if by chance you have any , links or otherwise for animation, would appreciate them here or in PM.

Different, and by far better than anything I could do. Is there anything you can do about the lighting. Seems a tad bit dark. Nice how you winged the Tie Fighter.

Queenhunter - WOW! The first shot of the Star Destroyer shocked me - great idea!

After the fact no I cannot. or I should say will not. Lighting is not all that easy. and doing it in parts only amplifies the issue.

One thing though is when I do an in editor preview in C4d, it typically is not the same as when fully rendered out. EX: the stars, look great in editor preview, but when I render it out, the stars are hardly visible.

Another is I try not to make it very bright so it does not look like toy models so to speak.Also to try and hide any noticeable defects.Also to try an mimic a natural setting ( space) But am diligently trying to get it to look good as well as learn all aspects of making a CG short. Are so many disciplines involved.

Thanks for your comments. Will make more and learn- try to make better shorts. Only been doing it appx 9 months. bout 5 shorts so far. (<<<< you'd think he learnt sumtin by golly by now lol)

Problem also is my comp. is 8-10 year old Dell Pent 4 and is very cranky and hard to work with.
NO RAM too. AM waiting on a custom build should have next month.
