Cinema 4D Space Battle WIP

Testing some space atmospherics and special effects compositing with Cinema 4D. All Animation, Planet Earth model and small ship model done in Cinema 4D r11.5; big ship model done in 3DS Max 2010; explosions, film grain, and other compositing done in After Effects CS5; and final compositing with music and sound FX done in Adobe Premiere.

Next I will be trying to add pyrocluster explosions, a better sun, and some background atmospherics.

Awesome. I don't really like the flames, but I can't quite imagine what to put instead; what do they do in star trek/star wars?

@Arjunyg Back in the day (pre-2000), even for films like Starship Troopers and Star Trek TNG, they used the same technique. Only difference here is that they had better elements to work with and probably had a demolition stage to record and key specific explosions for their scenes. I only have Action Essentials 2 to work with, so that severely limited my scope. But this was just a test for bringing 3D cameras and other elements into AE from Cinema 4D. Thanks for commenting!

render time?

[MindbendStudios]

@wonderwall135 I'm not sure the entire render time, but it was rendered scene by scene over the course of a week on an i7 Xeon 2.53ghz, 8gb DDR3.

@MardeyStudio There is oxygen inside the ships you know :)

[MardeyStudio]

Fucking fake, there is no air in the space. So there can not be fire in the space, NICE VID BTW!
