Damn this looks like fun. As far as interest goes, Damn this looks like fun. If only I actually ever participated :hmm:

#24

Only flying car I’ve made in the past is this one from the UK kids show Danger Mouse I’ve never really attempted to make characters otherwise It’d be cool to have a Danger Mouse and Penfold to see in this and animate them whizzing about !! :slight_smile:

This looks like fun, and like to work on it. One question. Does your entry have to have sound effects, because I’m not great with that.

#26

I believe Roberto is looking for Best Visual Effects so I would assume no :slight_smile:

#27

Does a Twin Pod Cloud Car count from The Empire Strikes Back after all it is a car and it does fly ?!

wip thread: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=139&t=682816

worked for the whole month, a few hours a day

used Maya, Photoshop, Nuke

notes:
the girl has ncloth dynamics, maya fluids where used for the flames on the car, and particles for the dust. most of the ‘look’ was achieved in compositing - facilitated by rendering in multiple layers with passes. the background buildings and sky, the helipad, the girl, and the car are all separate layers. also each layer has different passes as necessary for it, such as motion vector, diffuse, specular, zdepth, etc.
