Phoenix Rising: Hadley's Hope - Camera Mapping with Vue

"Eversince i arrived here two weeks ago i wonder how the first colonists made it when they settled here in the Phoenix system. It took 1000 years to get from tents to cities like that. Every morning, when i get myself ready for the job, i look out of my bedroom window and see this. And everytime it's a wonder. A lot on my mind, especially on mornings like this. These beautiful, glittering fields of steel. That mighty star, Phoenix rising... and a coffee that demands my attention."

A place to find hope."

This animation is one result of one of my biggest projects ever. The other one is a painting. Created with Photoshop, Vue 8, After Effects. Please check here for specific information: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=702

hey there, love ur work tigaer

one question how do u make those 3d buildings 3ds max or maya maybe?

[tigaerreal]

@kisukehc well the technique i'm using is actually a little weird and would take too much time and space to explain here. lets just say it's pretty much all created with vue and photoshop.

[kisukehc]

@tigaerreal is vue a 3d program like max or maya?

if not, what is the difference?

[tigaerreal]

@kisukehc Vue is a tool specialized in landscape creation. Mountains, forests, atmospheres. Certain versions of Vue can be integrated into other softwares like Max or Maya. I'm using the standalone version of Vue here.

wirklich geil.

der Vorspann is ein wenig zu lang für meinen Geschmack, sonst grandiose arbeit. Da kriegt man wirklich Gänsehaut beim zuschauen :D

[tigaerreal]

@BigScarab90 ja da kann ich dir recht geben. war auch kürzer geplant... am ende wollte ich es aber nur noch fertig haben. =D freut mich das es gefällt.

That was totally amazing. It felt like watching a movie trailer or something, brought me into your world. Great job!

[MrProfijt]

It reminds me of Gates to Elysium, which is a very good thing ;) I really loved the intro, sounds and the painting! Personally, I would have made a different camera movement because it didnt really... do.. anything(just a minor thing I suppose). VERY nice, wish I could do this ;)

[UrbanDisturban]

matte painting right?

did you consult the moving mattes tute for vue by anychance? i invested in that myself a few months back and found it to be increadibly iluminating and usefull tho i havnt had a chance to play with what i learned from it yet.

anyway great work very moving and very proffesional looking. cudoos!

[jomarantolinbuy]

it would be better if you hadn't put the text transitions during the intro
