On this small object, which is going to stay in action for about 1 second, I learned a big lesson - rendering passes are not always single click easy. I found a few important limitations especially when you are working with not typical rendertrees ( and I usually do :slight_smile: So after almost 12 hours of hell tweaking I decided to cut my rendering passes to - main, shadow, ao, masks… thats about it.

#57

okay, all elements for the show are now done. It’s about time to push the animation, rendering and postpro. 10 days left… hm hm hmmm

Hahah very nice…it was fun to watch! I like the text you layered on top…that combined with the speedy edits made it look like watching a comic book, which gave it an enjoyable tone.

Great job!

my finished CGChallenge XXII entry

concept:
As well as a movie trailer should catch your attention and make you want to see the whole movie, opening sequence of TV series should do the same. So I came up with this personal goal for the Uplift Universe Challenge.
My entry is an opening of “Adventures Of Lifter Joe” - new TV series wannabe. These are unordinary space adventures of Joe, hardworking human, who drives heavy load machines for Universe Lifters Co. across the galaxy. There, in such a “cosmopolitan” space everything is possible…

behind:
Wow, this is my 5th finished challenge in a row, so I am kind of happy and proud. I pushed my boundaries hardly again, learned and tried many new things, tested my skills in very limited space influenced by my professional and personal life. I am happy with what I brought this time. Hope you will enjoy it as I do.

thanks to:
my lovely girlfriend Ludka, I love you and thank you for all your patience and care. My family, and all folks who supported me around this challenge.

Thanx for feedback folks!

@fgdf - thank you. Yeah, I had 1 day left to deadline so I decided to edit some nice MOf material instead of digging the animation / postproduction. Glad you like it.

@eckart - yeah, now the complete film. I am already playing with some new ideas and concepts so I better stop this and move. I am still not too happy with the style, still looking for something much more personal.

@JRBRAZ, turbinea - cool you like the look of it. Yeah, it was my initial idea, to have something simple, light and entertaining.

@ThE-ShiFT - heh, compliments from the dream team again. One day I will work on something with different name and will see if you can recognize me. That will be real exam. Thanks.

@gpepper - I was awaiting your feedback. Now, that’s some satisfaction, lol. Thanks.

@moljnir - Why I am not surprised you like the poster? :beer: We have some crossovers in few things of this challenge. Good to see folks with simillar sense for the show. Thanks.
