Waching this - one thing struck me above everthing else - the musical score made the difference. Depending on the timbre and tempo one looks on with different appreciations. I wonder if a test with the same screen shots and footage with different background scores isn't in order. Perhaps Prokofiev would provide an even more dramatic effect.
I'm digging the use of flare lens effects. Nice texturing too. Only thing you could do to make this ..prettymuch perfect is speedup the particles. the beam ones are fine, actually. Just I think the projectiles should move and impact faster. It'll lend something to the ferocity of the fight.
i was gonna buy a animating software but im better at directing and editing normally so I backed out. This reminds me of Star Trek. Live long and Prosper
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! this is the most AWESOMEST THING IVE EVER SEEN SOMEONE MAKE!!!! U GOT ANIMATION SKILLZ DUDE!!!! plz make a series! AND PLZPLZPLZ TELL ME HOW I CAN MAKE ANIMATIONS LIKE YOURS!!!! YOU ROCK!!!
The models are trule excellent. Most of the effects stuff is spot on! Missing some finer detail in some of the sequences, but this is damn fine stuff. Well done.
cool, i could give you one suggestion though. when some of the weapons hit, make pieces exploding off of the ships. and by the way, was there star wars ships in the backround?
I always wondered though, how do you create the pannelling effect on ships? All my efforts either end in taking a 2d section away or having to build a bazzillion individual blocks and welding them to the ship. =[
Lol seriously. You are the most talented amateur (?) space battle creator i've seen on YT yet. My space battles are not even close to the quality of this...
Yes, please tell the 3d software you used (Max or Maya, maybe?), as well as the software you used for the special effects and lasers (I doubt its after effects).
Alex can u please tell me how you did that or what program you used please!? im making a starwars movie right now but i need the starship animations for the entrance scene please! i will subscribe if you answer!
Excellent work. Love some of the ship designs. Especially the one that looks influenced by an old sub and the one that sort of resembles a squid's tail. Just reminds me of the old ships that were made from existing boxed models.
Digitalshark, wasn't it science that told us that the world was flat, wasn't it science that told us that man would never reach the moon or leave earths gravity not so many years ago. Didn't science tell us that life could not exist at the boiling point of water and yet we now know that it thrives at those temps and beyond around smoker vents deep in the oceans, as a matter of fact life exists in every hostile extreme environment on earth were science has told us that it was impossible too.
I would suggest that you look up the subject on the net, we are and have been for quite some time (or at least others) in some form of battle, this can be seen occasionally in the night sky, very frightening but very real.
I would suggest you try a search on IR or nightvision UFOs.
sorscoder - Allow me to recommend that you read a book by a scientist named Carl Sagan entitled "The Demon Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark." If you want people to "take the plunge" so to speak and dive into the fantastic, you should consider counter balancing that with some healthy scientific skepticism. There is a wonderful test he describes as "The Dragon in my Garage." Check it out.
Digitalshark, I welcome the comment, I also meet everything in life with a strong dose of skepticism, I'm the type that looks at all three sides of a coin, not just the two sides.
My comment above only reflects what I have personally witnessed with my mother years ago, be it our's or there's, 1 object shot another, then the 1 left took off across the night sky. I also videotape the skies during the daytime in Infrared at 950nm, you should try it, you would be surprised what is really out there.
Ok. You know who would kick all others asses in these battle scenes, but I have not seen hide nor tail of them in these vs. videos? You know the dinosaur people from that episode of voyager? They have been in space for millions of years and have far superior technology, even compared to species 8471 which is also quite powerful.
Sweet!

sorscoder - Allow me to recommend that you read a book by a scientist named Carl Sagan entitled "The Demon Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark." If you want people to "take the plunge" so to speak and dive into the fantastic, you should consider counter balancing that with some healthy scientific skepticism. There is a wonderful test he describes as "The Dragon in my Garage." Check it out.
