Beautiful job. I like wip 102 the best, compositionally speaking.

John Marchant · 1st May 2013, 01:45 PM

Great job as always Rusty, bet this with its complex rigging will make for some good animations.

lonewriter · 1st May 2013, 02:08 PM

Incredible job, she turned out great! I love the beauty shots.

DELTA · 1st May 2013, 02:24 PM

Really like those planet side renders. Terrific job.

Treybor · 1st May 2013, 04:33 PM

Wow!! A thing of beauty!

Gordon Robb · 2nd May 2013, 01:26 AM

Simply stunning.

Starbase1 · 2nd May 2013, 02:00 AM

A tour de force in rendering to follow up on a tour de force in modelling!

sumisu55 · 2nd May 2013, 02:59 AM

Beautiful.

Afalk · 2nd May 2013, 04:17 AM

Those are some phenomenal "tests" and I just adore those ortho shots. Add my voice to the chorus on this one, simply outstanding work!

I will echo all of the comments and add one more thought.

I can see the star field quite nicely!

Andy M · 3rd May 2013, 03:42 AM

Absolutely stunning ...

That´s a really old (and good) song! I can imagine a clip with that song and the ship as a star...

About the mesh... I´m out of words to express how incredible I think it is. I´ll just do a reverence for you rustythe.

no_mad11 · 4th May 2013, 08:38 AM

Holy Crap!

All I can saw is WOW! That is just awesome!

Elowan · 5th May 2013, 12:34 AM

Am I correct in assuming those dust clouds are overlays?

Kippa · 5th May 2013, 02:10 AM

Prometheus WIP 104 jpg looks like it could have been taken out of the film. Fantastic work!

rustythe1 · 5th May 2013, 04:40 AM

Thanks for the comments everyone!

no, all images are done in lightwave with no composition apart from the overlay logo, which I could have done in lightwave too thinking about it! they are hypervoxels, and they are animated, just rendering out a quick and dirty landing animation,
found out some interesting stuff by chance, I had originally been using indexed greyscale PNG textures and found ram usage to be quite high, so I gave JPG a try, whoa! ram usage came down by quite a few gigs! so it would seem they have done a little work on image handling, with the scene rendering and windows hogging about 3.5 gig I still am under 50% of my ram, some frames are coming in under 1 min, so finally a detailed model that renders fast (even with the voxels), should really start rendering again as I made a booboo on the volumetric lights for the engines, but as I said it is quick and dirty and maybe something I will refine, but it literally took 5 mins to set up with the rig already in place so it is really to show how easy it was to work with.
on frame 1300 at the mo so will post once it is up on the tube!

Ideas Unlimited · 5th May 2013, 05:06 AM

This is extremely well done, I take my hat off to you, and to find that it's all done within LW itself is even better

can't wait for the animation you mention....

is it done yet

3D_CG · 5th May 2013, 07:43 AM

one more time..

Frak me running into a tree..

Awesome Sh__ wowsers

rustythe1 · 6th May 2013, 05:58 AM

prometheus landing test - YouTube

video now up, have not fixed the volumetric lights yet, grain was added in after effects,

Rigel · 6th May 2013, 06:49 AM

Overall, that is way cool!

Some flickering from the radiosity and the image compression, but that is still just beautiful. I love how you got the pulsing effect on the suns.

While it was lowering to the ground I kept thinking "gear, man, put the gear down!". A simple animation and yet, you got me caught up in the story.

Top marks all the way around rusty.

bmckain · 6th May 2013, 07:23 AM

Very cool! I was thinking, get the heck out of the way. Stupid media, always trying to get right in the middle of it.

rustythe1 · 6th May 2013, 10:11 AM

lol, yes, they leave it until the last second in the film too, I guess it is because the feet also act as exhaust flaps, and the main side flaps have to come up at the last moment too, it was actually quite hard to get the part where the gear settles as in not a complete stop, there is a bit of bounce but due to some parts using cyclist the motion curves did not match, although I should be able to add another parent null to fix that into an automatic reaction/ animation linked to the gear control null

rustythe1 · 6th May 2013, 10:23 AM

and a quick look at the rigging web!
