FXWARS! Tesla - mightcouldb1 - FREEFORM


#21

Here is some recent work in progress. I am sad to say that I won’t be doing my original camera move through the wall and to the outside to reveal the tower. Due to time constraints I had to cut this a bit short so that I could finish in time. Anyway, the new shot involves the camera moving through the room and up to the window to reveal the tower in the distance in the middle of a storm. These images are the finals for this part of the shot, they are color corrected but are lacking depth of field and heavier post work. I have rendered out an alpha for my glass window because it is somewhat nonexistent at the moment. I will be comping the glass window on top later once I have the exterior, which will also be rendered separately and composited using the window alpha. At the moment I am waiting for renders and working on an expression for water drops randomly falling along the surface of my window.

It’s looking very nice, sad to hear your not going with the original camera move, but the new shot sounds just as good. Can’t wait to see the final!


#23

Dude, this looks awesome! Great scene, awesome lighting! Any work to show on the exterior yet?


#24

sadly not a lot of work on the exterior. I have the beginning of the wardenclyffe tower and some particle systems… but I will show those + explain them once they are done :slight_smile:

Here is an update of my scene.
I feel like I’ve spent wayyyy too much time on the modeling/texturing/lighting and not nearly enough on the FX.

Anyway, I’m off to San Francisco for GDC until friday, so hopefully I get everything done by the 31st!

I have the same problem. I only now start to explore ways to make FX. Wasted too much time on modeling and animation.

Your work looks great. Keep it up.


#28

Heh, tell me about it. I’ve spent 90% of my time so far modeling/render tuning and waiting on renders because only one machine in the house can handle my scenes (the others can help on stuff like RGB & occlusion passes though).

Keep it up man, this looks great.

So… I was thinking of dropping out of the contest because of all the time crunch, but… not using a computer for 3 days while at GDC gave me withdrawals! Time to get back to work and finish this up before Tuesday night!!! Wish me luck!


#30

Haha, glad to hear you didn’t give up! Good luck with meeting the deadline!


#31

It’s as finished as its ever going to be!

A reveal of Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower that was never completed. Who knows how this creation would have changed the world if it were brought to life.
