10GB is a lot.
10TB wouldn't happen

JackN · 26th March 2012, 06:20 AM

Likely the total package deal for every version of the asset(s).

In the trailer we not only see the ship flying, but we see the actors on and around the ramp as a set, so I'm guessing there are at least several scale portions of the ship for different scene purposes.

TimMehmet · 29th March 2012, 01:47 PM

Yep Im quite the derpy head, sorry for causing such chinese whispers based on my conjecture and ignorance :P I checked up on it, turns out it was just the total size of the entire archive of textures thus far. The actual texture size for the render model is around 12 gig though. It has over 100 udims each with an 8k map.

But if you're still not sure, just pop that thing over to me, I'll count 'em for you.

Bummer the trailer wasn't there. I wonder if they are going to release any new bits?

Andrew March · 12th April 2012, 12:47 PM

So, who's going to build one then.....

JimCrafton · 12th April 2012, 12:53 PM

Whoa! That's a snazzy craft. How does this thing land though? IN the trailer the engines rotate 90 deg and act like a VTOL setup. But there should be some pretty massive legs/struts,something there. Anyhow, super cool.
Does anyone know who designed it?

Bah, he's on about learning Japanese!

Sean's on about learning Japanese? Well that would just be typical, wouldn't it. The man's not content with hogging talent in the model, sculpting and texturing departments, he's got to go and show off in the language department too

Nah mate, my modelling skills are shite.

As for landing the whole armature with the engines rotates to the horizontal as well as the engines.

He's preparing for the takeover of Yutani...

I'm hoping the red head survives in the end

The way I hear it, she will be the new Ripley (like) character, so there's a good chance she will...

EDIT:

guess I should have read the text before replying huh?

The stock will go up before Iget a chance.

Heres some more piccies http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/exp...n-full-detail/

JimCrafton · 13th April 2012, 10:46 AM

Holy shit! Thanks for posting that. That is one cool ship.

Now I'm not an engineer. However it seems a little weird to have the landing gear where they are? But it sure as hell looks cool!

Is the Prometheus supposed to have FTL drives?

Gordon Robb · 13th April 2012, 11:28 AM

My jaw is on the floor. Awesomeness.

wave of light · 13th April 2012, 12:49 PM

Well, now that UK release of Ironsky has been put back to the end of.May, this will probably be the next film me and the wife go and see.

Thanks for the link Tim. She is begging to be modeled!

I believe she has Nuclear ION Pulse plasma drive engines that push her beyond the envelope.

Kerem · 13th April 2012, 03:33 PM

That ship really has a character. Very nice design...

Kerem · 13th April 2012, 03:34 PM

And I wonder with render engine(s) they are using. It all looks like rendered with V-ray or something

Really great job...

JimCrafton · 13th April 2012, 04:56 PM

Probably Renderman. My understanding is that for film, that's pretty much the standard.

This is fast becoming the film of the summer though, maybe even enough to knock Batman or Avengers off their spots.

Agree, the trailer is a masterpiece and hopefully Ridley is holding enough back to stun the audience. Great stills so far. My only concern is that, dare I say it, some of the sets look a little plasticky on close inspection and lack the total far out abandon of Giger's early designs. That holographic map of the universe is a stunner though.

Gordon Robb · 14th April 2012, 01:36 AM

Stuff it, I don't think I can bring myself to NOT build this ship. It'll be slow, but I'll try to squeeze it in a bit at a time.
