I remade the shader in Maya because of time and because of scott’s kick-ass animatic. Sooo…by the end of the week I should have some animation and actual lighting. There’s going to be actual rock geometry on the ground to break it up and more craters. Plus the stars, lunar lander, dust, etc. 
wow man! impressive! Might I ask how you went about getting/making those surface textures?
Ok, here is a preliminary of the Saturn V seperation. no FX added yet and still needs the engines above. The inside is orange because of fire that will be added later.
here is a sample of the smoke we’ll use for a couple of the launch shots. the smoke rolls inward and roils and evolves over time.
i’m working with Scottage , ChrisJ, and Camacho on this.
So, yeah…
Just posting to say I’m withdrawing from this MoonShot goodness. I just picked up a job in Manhattan NY and I won’t be around to finish.
ChrisJ, ACamacho, and Jasonkey are going to finish it up. But i had a great time working on the first 3 shots, and loved working on the edit… But, maybe I’ll be available for the next FXwars. Even though I have a bad reputation for never finishing these, I have fun, and learn a lot as I go.
Good Luck to all!
I was reading the rules and I guess we need to have a team name and banner, so here it is:
FX RUSH
Well, guys, that was a blast. he he he. no pun intended.

I posted in the Official thread but I thought I’d post here too. I edited the movie with better shots than the rushed one earlier. Hope you like!

It turned out really good guys. Nice work. I hope to see a car crash WIP here soon… well, yeah… I’m still learning the ropes, otherwise I’d volunteer to help out.
Congrats again!
Hey Guys, thanks for the comments and voting. Again, This wouldnt have been posted without Chris, Angel, or Jason. I dipped out of Atlanta, and moved to New York the last week of the FXwars, and… Those 3 guys pulled it off, and picked up my slack, thanks guys… It really came out kick ass!
Scottage, out!
Hey dude,
It was mainly your editing skillz that pulled it together. And our friend Sagan
If you want to make a moonshot edit from scratch, you must first invent the universe…
Thanks for the comments guys!
Sagan would be proud.
