FXWars! Flying Car, Leo C, VFX Shot

#1

Im thinking some kind of city flyby/flythrough, maybe a landing shot. i really like the idea of rain especially splashing on a nice shiny car-paint surface.

  • one thing i really love about the blade runner spinner shots is the volumetric lighting - it really gives a good feeling of grime and dust in the air.

hear is a basic concept - not so much a car as a flying van.

based my concept off of this syd mead work - the image is so small i can’t really tell whats going on . . . but i liked that round red shape.

rough model to come next - hopefully basic animation by the end of the week

modeling update:

still going to add a bit of an interior, and additional details on the bottom surfaces. basic materials just to get a nicer feel, the undercarriage hasn’t got shaders yet. pilot model is not by me, donated by my gf. pilot not going to be a focus (you wont see much more than like it is in this shot), but it would look strange if it was flying all by itself.

Hey Chronic :slight_smile:

That looks fantastic already. Its funny you mention the rain :wink:
Im doing the same hence Im filming on a rainy day.

This is going to be awesome to see two of Syd’s concepts alive again.

Best of luck in finishing your sequence

looking good. the back roof seems a bit smaller, might wanna extend it more based on your concept pic but otherwise keep at it:arteest:

#5

small update - its flying!
still some modeling details to add, and then ill start on the dirt textures.

probably should add some kind of particle effect for the engines -

#6

Looking great.

…but how do you get into it? The back-hatch that you got on your concept-sketch is missing on your model.

Anyways wether you model that or not it’s looking very promissing!

Keep it up!

#7

back hatch? silly things like that don’t matter . . .

but actually I’m going to add that dividing line soon, don’t worry.

#8

working on the comp

lots of things are set to change

#9

Quick animation playblast:

work in progress comp test, still working on some lighting issues

#10

animation looks good… so many buildings and nice texture on them… i have to do something like that…

#11

New Dateline! Nov 17th! Good Luck!

this new deadline is great - I have so many passes to render

a small lighting and comp update - tuned down allot of the glows/blurs/glares and the helipad is now properly lit by that spotlight.

this is actualy an old playblast, and its missing all the buildings and stuff - but i was lazy. anyways, i decided to add a character because it helps with the sense of scale - otherwise its hard to tell exactly how big or small this vehicle is, also the cloth motion is nice :}

#13

Thats very nice! But looks more like a ship,I think you should make a scene with the car moving on the ground also.

GOOD JOB!:beer:

FINAL ENTRY

HIGH RES H264 (1280x600) 14mb

had lots of fun doing this hope you like it
