Vanguard fighter launch demonstration. (Blender 2.49)

[Nordzin]

Love the way the ships launch.  Needs music.

@Nordzin Thanks. It would be nice to have music, but I have far too little idea about rights to use it.

Great stuff.

Make sure you back up your most important files though - we just lost a ton of our sf blender files to a faulty hdd.

[kiml42]

@Alternicity Thank you.

I do make sure to have backups. everything I do these days on blender gets backed up online, and synced between my laptop and my notebook computers, so I have an on-site and off-site backup for everything.

I've had hard drives fail on me before, and it can be a serious issue. I'm surprised how many people don't take backups.

Cool vid, turning up the light will help, well done tho

@kevinmoore001 Thank you. I think turning it into an AVI did something to the brightness and contrast, the JPEGs are a bit dark, but not quite this bad.

i like, the model is cool. my only concern is its quite dark, especially on the inside just before the 1st fighter is launched

[kiml42]

@Chilledoutredhead You're right, it is a bit too dark, I could really have done with turning up the bay lights a little. I might have to look into making it look brighter with the frames I've got, because I am not going to render this again.

Thank you for your comment.
