New Serenity Animation v2

Not much different than the last animation. I did add an engine burn/exhaust effect that looks pretty damn cool I must say, but not perfect. Anyway, I figured since my computer spent all last night and most of the today rendering, I might as well post it. Enjoy! (requires a DIVX codec to play)

Damn... I can't get any of your videos to work. The QuickTime window opens and starts playing but there's no picture, and I've got the DIVX codec. I'd really enjoy seeing these. Can anyone help me out?

TurnipyOdour: Windows media player can't seem to play them as well, but they work just fine in either Realplayer, or the Divx player.
Casivona: Dude, that vid is truly amazing! My vids don't even come close to the amount of perfection in yours. You really nailed the "Firefly feel" in this!
Oh well, I'm off to read some more tutorials :-)

Thanks, everybody! "Perfection"? well, I wouldn't say that, but that's what I'm going for. I just had a breakthrough that will introduce a rather significant visual effect in the next version of this animation... hope to post it soon! ...assuming the render turns out :D

Serenity - Scavenge
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reNyOQR8v_o" --- (copy and paste the link into your browser to see the video) Here's a little video I did a long time ago that I had misplaced until now. The music is from the "Buffy - The Vampire Slayer" Soundtrack. I did this back before I knew how to build good models so the Serenity model is by Sean Kennedy and the Peacekeeper Vigilante (stand-in Reaver ship) is by Rhys Salcombe. All of this was rendered in Lightwave. Yes... the video may seem to end with a bit of a "cliff-hanger"... I never did get around to piecing together the bits of the chase scene that I had... :-) --- "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reNyOQR8v_o"

Serenity - Just Married
This is a little piece I created for my older brother and new sister-in-law who were married several months ago. They honeymooned in Hawaii, hence the beach. They are both Firefly/Serenity fans. I rendered the objects in Lightwave I and used Photoshop for compositing on the photo. Serenity model was built by Sean Kennedy.

Through the Storm - Wallpaper
Here's an alternate, wallpaper friendly version of my latest piece. Hope you enjoy it. I might even make an animation of this at some point... hmm.... :)

Through the Storm
Horray for my new computer! I just got done rebuilding it; duel core, new video card, new RAM. Lightwave is a lot faster now! Hopefully, I can crank out my fanfic sooner, but in the meantime, here's a picture I had to get out of my head. As always, the model is by Sean Kennedy. I used Lightwave and a little Photoshop action in this one.

Ocean Class Carrier - 3D lightwave model
It's been a while since I posted a piece of art here, so I thought I'd let you all see what I've been up to (though it's not really art). **It's still a work-in-progress!** This is the Ocean Class Carrier from the movie... you see these guys in big space battle near the end. I've been working off still pictures I've captured from the movie, so I'm not sure how accurate it'll be. Hopefully, I'll have the engine and gunturret complete by next week; Maybe textured the week after. This is one of the models I'll be using in an upcoming fanfic featuring a brand new crew and ship. The series will be called "Badlands" (takes place during the war) and should be out by at least beginning 2007. It's a combo "e-comicbook"/"CG movie"... an interesting blend. Stay tuned at www.bluegrassbrowncoats.net!

"Bid Me Rest"
I've been wanting to do this for a long time and finally gotten the time to actually create this. It's my little tribute to our Wash. Enjoy. I used Photoshop and Lightwave. Serenity model by Sean Kennedy.

The FINAL EFFECT - Animation
http://www.bluegrassbrowncoats.net/Serenity_fireflyeffect.avi Well, it's pretty much final. I still need to fine tune the wave effect, but I think I've got theory down. Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with how the effect turned out. I have a new respect CG artist and the uncertainty that goes with special effects, I had very little idea how the final effect would turn out until after many hours of rendering. Well... anyway, enjoy! Follow the URLs to see the video (video requires the DIVX codec) http://www.bluegrassbrowncoats.net/Serenity_fireflyeffect.avi

New Serenity Animation
http://bluegrassbrowncoats.net/Serenity_loop.avi Though I haven't mastered the engine effect quite yet, I think I'm doing pretty good with camera shakes and zooms. Here's an animation of something the Serenity probably wouldn't do to turn around in space, but hey, it looked cool. Anyway, let me know what you think. I'm hoping to get to the point where I can add the engine effect into this animation. Serenity model by Sean Kennedy. http://bluegrassbrowncoats.net/Serenity_loop.avi (video requires the DIVX codec)
