TSA Hallway: Test Metal

Hello all!

Ok, I've been playing around with textures a lot more, and the texture paint ability in 2.62.  The shot below is a result of that playing :)  Made with textures from CG Textures.

I think that taking the time to do a lot more texture work will really help the realism and believability.

Enjoy!

TSA Hallway: Latest Version

Hey all!

As stated previously, I'm focussing almost exclusively on the TSA.  As part of that, from JMP we have the scanner hallway.  Still a little work to be done on this before I consider it production ready - enjoy!

TSA Scanner Head - Test 1

Hey all,

Here's the first test of the TSA Scanner.  Gives me chills for some reason...possibly because at one point I didn't have the manual with the entry code and I kept trying to guess it.

Incorrect code entered, access denied.  Oh the memories :D

New Team Member - Adam B

Hi everyone!

I'm very pleased to welcome Adam B to the development team.

Adam has been working on a custom-coded engine called Aware - see http://code.google.com/p/aware-engine/ for more information.  It is still in its early stages, but after speaking with Adam recently I'm very confident that it is ideally suited for Tribute.  We have discussed the first tech demo / proof of concept and work is underway.

So, please join me in offering a heartfelt welcome to Adam!

TSA Command Centre Door: Opening Test

Hello all!

Still working on the TSA...I've actually made this my complete focus.  The "original" TSA will be the first environment to be completed i.e. all modelling, texturing, lighting, rendering, animation, interaction, sound effects, music and navigation will be completed before moving on to the next area.

With that in mind, enjoy the test video below :)

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, but I'm back with a vengeance :)

Work in Progress...

Good morning!

Well, as always, work is in progress on the latest shots.  I'm currently waiting for the most up-to-date render of Pegasus to finish so I can upload the video of that.  I've also got a few other things in mind to work on...more info on those as it happens!

Pegasus Launch: Corrected Compositing

Good evening!

Well, after a busy house move and despite a lot of dental pain, here is a (corrected) shot of the Pegasus Launch. Bryan pointed out that there was some strange behaviour when the electricity appeared etc.  I went back into the compositor and keyframe animated the blurs, as well as some of the settings on the material for the particles etc.

A corrected shot is below, as well as the current compositor setup.  A corrected version of the video should be online next week - Renderfarm.fi is currently offline but will be back on Tuesday, so I'm hoping to have the footage rendered no later than Thursday next week.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Time Travel Effects: 720p Still Render & Compositor Setup

Hello!

Just before I move house, I wanted to put this up to show you a) a HD still from the time travel effects and b) the compositor setup in Blender (one of those "behind the scenes" things hehe).  So, for your viewing pleasure, see below :)

Time Travel Effects: Revisited & Revised

Pegasus Launch Animatic: 720p

Hey!

Here's a 720p render of the Pegasus Launch Animatic, rendered out using Renderfarm.fi - a free rendering service.  If you're PC has spare processing power, feel free to help not only myself, but the rendering community to render their jobs faster!

Anyway, please enjoy and comment!  You'll need to go to Youtube and switch to 720p for the full quality version.
