I like your test render! It's the only image so far where I really thought "wow, our earth is really big". The atmosphere looks about the right size and I like the texture which seems to have a lot of small details. What images were you using?

I see there will also be a comet here.... somehow I was hoping to see something like one of the clips that was posted on the announcement thread, the one with those streaks of volcanic eruptions and where the earth eventually shattered relatively slowly. Something where there could also be little details going on first (eruptions, etc.) before the final strike is done. ;)

thx for your comments mbaas :)
i dont think i will go to explose the earth, anyway not add eruptions or such, but, i will see what kind of effect i will add.. :)
for the images, i use the one i find with the Roberto gives to us on topic thread.

so, here s another render test, from the animation.
i think i will make the asteroid bigger and i will start the effect of the explosion soon.
everythings is layered and composited with fusion, so can be tweaked easely, but now i have problem to find the right parameters... as for the atmosphere for exemple... who is maybe a little bit big right now.:D
anyway, WIP!

very good animation timmings.. but I believe that the explosion has to be much slower, as in slow camera :thumbsup:

[fxabhi]

its coming out really well dude :) , niiiicceee

[TeeWorks]

hey yan!

really cool meteorite texture! :) ...smooth animation, go on with it... perhaps you put many many many of them in the scene like an armada threatening the earth :thumbsup:

[jimmy4d]

wow looks cool dude!!

[yan]

hehe thx for comments guys.

the earth render is less the problem than the collision/explosion..
so heres where i am for now for the earth and asteroide render.
i stay on the same timing, except for the 'after explosion, as said by danielito, who will be slower than seen in the preview.

will start to work on the rest right now :)
as always, C&C welcomes.

Well one week until the dateline....

FXWARS Dateline Friday March 21th...Who needs more time? (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=139&t=608134)

If I get at least 3 people onboard, I might give a few more days
to finish the entry.

[yan]

why not for the extra day, as its always better to have more time.
and more time means more competitor at the end, i guess... :)

so, here s what i have for now for the explosion. not really happy with the result, more work/tweak are needed i think.
anyway, 3 simples particles systems done with lightwave, with some big tweak in fusion.
C&C most welcomes!
