Yea looking good so far but it seems a bit low-poly.
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
Cheers fellas,
Yeah it is sorta low poly. It's not going to be super high res mesh, but it will look a bit better than that. Im mainly focusing more on the fire than on the objects in the scene.

hey - that pic changed overnight! now it's all shiny!
yeah, keep it low poly - it's just gonna get blown to bits anyway!!
can't wait to see some afterburn action!
hey - maybe FMF can send his missle at your truck!

Cameron 2,374 posts
haha you can read my mind!
Thats pretty much whats going to happen, a missile smacks into this little puppy and kaBOOMB... ur average kind of firey explosion fun.
I've got a test frame of the missile rendering out now, to see how it will look. Will up that to see in a sec.
Here we go:

wow - how'd you make the cool flame coming out the back? atmospheric apparatus and fire effect? kinda looks cool all blown out bright like that!
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
That little puppy was done with afterburn combustion. atmospheric apparatus yep, hemisphered. inner = white, outer = blue... and I gave him a sexy explode daemon to control the brightness. First time I tried that, works well!
-
hype 2,964 posts
hey - it changed! your pictures all change everytime i look at them!
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
You're on the ball like a seal mate.
I re-render the same thing with different setings every now and then, and just upload it when I think its better.

I am curious to see this collision. Are you planning on throwing bits of the semi around if you have time? That would be awesome.

Sweeet!
Would like to see a little more erratic motion and shake on that there camera - but I like how this is turning out!
-
hype 2,964 posts
yeah, i like how the camera follows the missle!
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
Cheers guys!
Zach, yeah mate, hoping to rip the tanker to shreds.
Globesky, Tis planned, that was more to get the feel of the scene and the camera path to follow.
heres a wee little test, the tank mesh explosion is just a standard fragmenty thing.

Damn you

Looking awsome dude, cant wait to see final thing

Thanks again fellas.
Its about time I threw some fire and explosion into this mix so here is the first installment.
Just a little bit of fire generated from the follow-through of the missile.
I've done the smoke from the missle too, but saving that for the final coz it hefts a long rendering time on its back.
This is not the main explosion, the main explosion will added to this as well as debri, truck parts and such.

hype 2,964 posts
looking nice. it'll really come together once there's smoke and bits and pieces flying everywhere!
like you said, this is just missle follow through, so i'm not reading too much into at this point. looks great, though!
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
I'm not too sure if this is the direction I want to take with the main explosion, but it doesnt look too bad.
Low step size though:
You can see the front of the truck in that.
-
Richard 1,943 posts
thats cool, but its way off, you should check at some reference, nice though
too bad i wont have time to finish mine, i wanted to whipe you off, but yeh, that will come later... how about a duel between you and me later on like in september for example...

what Cam is thinking right now "why the heck did I say we only had 10 days to do each part"
think you ll be done on time mate?
-
Cameron 2,374 posts
Haha, yeah im going to have to rework the explosion. Its a bit too grand and CG there.
LoL, 10 days is fine with me, I reckon it'll be done. Still 3 days left, I leave 1 day for rendering the puppy which means today + 2moro to finish explosion and add in debri.
Should be good
