It’s coming together nicely. I really like the direction it’s going. It’ll be interesting to see how your Naom Rasa fits into this scene. Nice work man!!!

#19

I know i’m spoiling it, but here it goes…
The trailer’s soryboard sound’s like this:

We see a guy holding another men in his arms talking about “how they came to our planet”. The camera sees them from behind of the man alive. So we don’t see any faces.

We see a spaceship comming to a planet that looks like Earth.

3 humans meet 3 aliens, but we don’t see any faces.

We see again the guy holding another guy but now the camera is much closer. We still can’t see any faces. He talks about how the war caught everyone by surprize.

We see a human city.
The war between the species (Naom and Humans) starts. The Earth’s people are caught by surprize. Most of them die in the first strike. Among them there is this kid that looses his mother but survies the atack. He runs in the jungle crying where he meets this Naom women that is dying. She has a baby rapted in a form of foliage and gives it to the kid telling him with her last breath to take care of her son.

We get back to the first scene and now the camera reveals the guy’s face. He is a Naom Rasa man, the little alien kid saved by the human boy. They are now 2 adults (the kid is now 18 years and the Naom boy is now 12). And we find out that the men he’s holding is his so cold “brother” (the boy that saved him); hes dead. The Naom says this: “for my kind he was an alien, but for me he was my brother”.

We see a bunch of highlights of how these two brothers fight both Naom people and Human people, along with many alien creatures.

In the end we see the Earth man jumping of a bridge that is collapsing and stretching his arm to grab something. And in the last shot we see 2 hands holding together: a blue Naom Rasa hand and a human had. On top of that comes the logo.

The jungle scene is almost finish. Now i’m concentrating on the city scene.
Hope you like it!

Software: 3ds max

I still have a lot of work on the spaceship. Have to make the command center in the front. Some defense systems. And then it’s off to texturing.

Software: 3ds max,After Effects

Ok… Please send me any feedbacks you want… I really need them… still don’t know what I don’t like.

One thing is THE CODEC !!! it takes away all the contrast…

#24

ok… now that the second has no resemblance to the first scene i’ve made, ill have to redo one of them… or both… :frowning:

#25

Start to look great!Keep going!:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

#26

Awesome work! Bafta. :slight_smile:

#27

The overall quality is very good. The thing is these planets look very small like balls, you could fix perspective / size to make them more “overwhelming” and spectacular. Rest is perfect
-CHEERS

#28

Thanks guys.

fgdf: this idea could work, i’ll try… thx again.

#29

yeah really cool job, i really like the final render :slight_smile:

I’m agree with fgdf though, i think you can easily fix the scale problem by scaling the main planet to fill ± 50/60% of the background, and get the moons a bit smaller and more blurry (we shouldn’t see relief on it)

You should maybe use a bigger focal lenght (for this scene only), to enhance perspectives :wink:

#30

First… I’ll finish the next scene that i’ve started working on, so that i won’t fell the dedline pressure. Then i’ll start making adjustments until every body is happy :slight_smile:

#31

I would add an atmosphere around the planet, unless of course, it’s uninhabitable:) I like everything else, so keep going, look forward to seeing more.

#32

I’ll work on it, thanks :slight_smile:

#33

Looking good, but planet is too bumpy, work on atmosphere more. Space ship looks very good, so keep on !

#34

So far… need to make tha planets a little bigger and put some atmosphere on the planet. I’ll work on it as soon as i finish my next scene.
Thanks!

#35

Well… it seems that i might switch to team :frowning:

#36

Hey man,

sorry for not posting any sooner (kind of sick for a little while and i always wait to do stuff)

anyway,
the render is really starting to look great. My only concern is this:
i think the 3 visible planet seems to be way too close to one another. Putting more distance would create the illusion of a much bigger space and then it would have some more spectacle.
Second i believe there is a glow coming from the closest planet but it’s more like a glow then it should be a fog-looking atmosphere. And at the sides it should look much denser. Also the same glow on the furthest planet look kind of too far spread.

just one little detail :twisted:
the furthes planet seems the be lit by the sun that we see in this image. But the others and the ship seems to have a secondary light source :argh:

don’t forget in space there is no light bounce and no ambient light :thumbsup:

cheers and waiting to see more

#37

The 1st part, your absolute right: the planets look to close to one another and the fog shoud be a little denser.

The 2nd part.
Every element has it’s own light sources (ship, main planet and the 2 moons). I did this so that i could get the look that i was hoping for. It’s not 100% natural but you get a better looking scene (that’s my way of thinking)

About the light bounce… i have a question for you… way does the moon project light at night? :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry if i didn’t agree on every aspect with you, but thanks for those that i do agree.
Keep it up, and hope you post me more comments if you see something wrong
