The Fleet Is In

[wraithbannon]

very well done, impressive looking fleet

[MrSkywalker113]

awsome:)

[chunder350]

Am I correct in assuming you got your inspiration for the ships from Stargate?

They look very familiar to the 304's (Daedalus-class battlecruisers). Almost like a upgraded version!

Good work btw!

[bobsterclause]

wow, Narnia (the music was narnia) evolves fast

[TheLiger23]

very nice, and well made too.

[saultube44]

And what the hell was this?

[cmdrkhaine]

This is the real view from the ISS each night as the real Space program returns to dry dock

[shawnaloroc]

Thanks for the info.

[shawnaloroc]

The texture map on the planet looks huge!

[fryjs]

@shawnaloroc Haha, yeah. I cropped the 86k x 46k nasa blue marble maps to just what is visible in the render.

[Spiderpope]

Impressive...most impressive.

[tellder1]

That is preety nice

[lpgccarlos]

Soundtrack?

[lpgccarlos]

Red votes are jealous people. This is marvellous. 10 stars!.

[lpgccarlos]

Deberías hacer un cortometraje. You should make a short movie with this, a battle angels against negative forces conquering our world, light forces win!. :>

[lpgccarlos]

Please, make more!! :)

[lpgccarlos]

Wonderful.

[hawchcf1]

This is really good man

[starflame34]

Dude, you should create the next sci-fi series! There is nothing on the Syfy channel now, YOU MUST SAVE SCI-FI!

[Guesthunter]

You're god. Period.

[awesomedudemee]

Very Impressive

[MrSieish]

Earth Force

[Xonx68]

Very nice job with this. They look like a cross between the new BSG Galactica and SG-1's Daedalus.

[Falchion1984]

Which series is this from?

[fryjs]

@Falchion1984 no series, it's just something I made

[Falchion1984]

@fryjs So, it's all original? Wow, that's impressive.

[fryjs]

@Falchion1984 cheers

[yetiserol1]

@fryjs please make much more of this clips.it is very cool.

[WinUndefined]

@fryjs THAT IS PRITTY NICE i THOUGHT IT WAS FROM SOME MOVIE

[donnellyno]

That was so cool!

Where are those ships from? (I know I've seen them somewhere but I can't think where.)

[fryjs]

@donnellyno Not from anywhere. They were just tests for the micropoly displacement in vray when it was a new feature, as they turned out ok I just made a couple of scenes with them.

[ygvb1]

Amazing video!

[lilivo100]

hermoso!!

[Battle5tarRJC]

Is this off Stargate or something or did you create this yourself. Either way this was brilliant.

[cmdrkhaine]

I so wish this was real video footage from the ISS of our secret space program :)

[wixxkruppel]

If you made this yourself, that's some really badass fine quality lightning you got there.

[Tauren1991]

What is this music? :D

[fryjs]

@Tauren1991 To aslan's camp

[namekman01]

not stargate, thats for sure, what is it? did u make it?

[Eaglestorm27]

The ship is stargate ?

[thanqualthehighseer]

STARGATE 2045

[Luminouskebab]

that is mad! did u make that?or is it from a game or something, if it is i want it!

[noisebomb44]

ok.....

[Eaglestorm27]

what is the song

[briantonysmith]

dude, if u ever make a movie, ill be the 1st dude to buy it, that clip was spectacular!!!

[dbrasco2069]

this is very impressive, although I would def render at a higher resolution, or upload the hi-res if you have it. 360 doesn't do what you've done enough justice

[fryjs]

@dbrasco2069 There is the hd version called The Fleet is in HD

[dbrasco2069]

@fryjs Ah, got it. I have to say that this scene is very nice, most notably your direction--the slow reveal of the big ship followed by the build up of the fighters and finally the mass of ships. It takes a lot of confidence as a director to go with a shot like that. Timed to music beautifully. Definitely one of the most legitimately cinematic scenes I've seen on here.

PS - you have some light/shadow flickering on the hero ship as it traverses camera...are you using final gather in renders?

[fryjs]

@dbrasco2069 Cheers. Yeah, it wasn't a perfect render and at the time it just took too long to re-do it

[dbrasco2069]

@fryjs Question: I'm doing more advanced renders (for commercials, mostly) and I'm getting FG flickering like the one in your scene--how did you get rid of it? Is it a product of the renderer? Subtle, but very annoying, especially when you're being paid and the client has certain expectations...

[fryjs]

@dbrasco2069 The flickering in my render isn't actually the fg, it's not having the sampling for the raytraced shadows high enough for the displacement. If your scene is static (as in no moving objects) you can simply bake the fg solution to avoid any changes in calculation as the camera moves around

[thebatmanrules]

Here we stand in the cold night of space . . . ready to fight for our home, our friends, our loved ones.

[1dschamp]

Are these are Ta'uri vessels????

[TRUExSIGHTS]

Do you think you could render a battle (say mini movie) using the software you did for this? That would be totally awsome, even if you didn't get close shots.

[fryjs]

@TRUExSIGHTS It would be cool, but it takes quite a bit of work and time.

[TRUExSIGHTS]

@fryjs How long did this take you?

[suede74]

Is this for Stargate?

[shoopdanwoopproducts]

Holy shit thats pretty epic.

[MisterK91]

Wonderful!!!!

[Overlord595]

What program(s) did you use to create this?

[jutau]

I think i downloaded this file from either spacebattles or scifimeshes a couple of years back. Pretty awesome work. definitely an admirer.

[GoodwoodAlpha]

Simply outstanding. It's amazing what can be accomplished on home PCs nowadays with current hardware and software.

[dougeagle]

Very cool. Nice to see a battle as well...otherwise, very cool indeed

[SupremeJedi1]

How many ships is that??

[ducktopia301]

Awesome job :D

but how much time to render this? lol

[fryjs]

@ducktopia301 not that much, everything was rendered in separate layers: the stars, the planet, the far ships, the close ship, the fighters. Motion blur, flaring and other postfx were done in after effects

[bigd524]

epic,

great stuff...

[CHRISKIDJR]

i would have to say this is the stargate universe, there is a couple of ships in distance that closely resemble the daedalus x-304 class, and some even look like concept ships from the series,

[fryjs]

@CHRISKIDJR although there is a similarity, the ships were originally just a displacement test for vray...

[imh11621]

How beautiful! Wonderful!

[moonfly1]

anyone else want to see what happens net lol

[achong007]

Now if we can get a title and some writers, we can make movies.

[Alkonium]

I'm not sure which sci-fi universe that was, but it was pretty epic nonetheless.

[IanHTX]

Who did this?

[fryjs]

@IanHTX  I did

[IanHTX]

@fryjs Awesome job 

[bigd524]

amazing stuff.

[danivarius]

What fleet?

[Beau74]

That gave me some chills.

What song from Narnia is this specifically?

[fryjs]

To Aslan's camp

[Beau74]

Thanks!

[Cafepunch2000]

@Beau74 I have absolutely no idea (nor do I care) but it's epic and that's all that really matters.

[MDAB1993]

song?

[Triboskatefull]

this is a game

now this is a verryyy verryyyy goood this is thye future for all us

[LordHyla]

Most impressive.

[routhoula]

no info, no description, no nothing. artists usualy talk about their work they give credits and stuff like that. unless offcourse if this is a teaser about a secret project or something.

[fryjs]

There's nothing much to say about it, it is what it is. A video I made several years ago for scifi-meshes.

[routhoula]

you should try that with homeworld 2 ships and say its a movie. this is almost as good as a movie

[finalart2005]

Truly amazing, may I ask what 3d software you used for this? And what did you use for compositing? Also, how long did it take to create that big ship, with all the greebling on it?

[fryjs]

Made with 3dsmax, and rendered with v-ray. Composited in after effects.

The ship, is actually really simple, a low-poly box model. The trick is a panel displacement map, using micropoly displacement. All up, the ship only took a couple of hours to get to that stage.

[finalart2005]

Long live 3dsmax and v-ray, I use it a lot as well :p. Now that I know you did this in 3dsmax, may I ask how you did the atmosphere for the earth? Is it just a background image or did you use some sort of volumetrics to get that look?

[fryjs]

The earth is actually 3d (a small portion of a very large sphere), with the shader being a falloff mix between the biggest Nasa blue-marble map and a light blue color (so the sphere lightens towards the light blue color towards the perpendicular edges).

Then the atmosphere is simply a glow effect that starts out at the some light blue color as the falloff map and progresses to a dark blue.

[finalart2005]

Amazing, and yet so simple, thank you very much for the info! It looks awesome!

[Nimsaj1234]

Did you make this? Looks amazing...Gregson-Williams' Narnia score fits well :-)
