Hi Andrew !
VERY cool !
Ok, lets start a special effects session....
I guess I have to get away from these detailing work then
How long did rendering take ?
Best regards,
Mert

About an hour and a half I think.

The avi file wants to download a codec for WMP to play it. Which codec is this and where can it be found?
DivX 5.0
http://www.divx.com/divx/player/download/
or
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DivX_Free.htm
(no opitional registration page)
One of the codec packs tend to come in handy, like K-Lite (whichever one is updated the most), though you have to be careful selecting what codecs/versions you install esp. if you choose advanced mode.

"Any chance of a closeup (or do the fx not look good up close?)?"
It's just a lens flare, so there's really not much else to see.
"I don't understand which codex's are needed."
DivX. Casey posted the link.

Hi !
Andrew is already rendering animations with his mighty computer and I am still fighting with textures and stuff and my computer needing 7 hours to finish a high res picture ( this one). I use it mainly to see, where I might have to detail out textures more....
Ok, its about 2000 pixels wide but anyway I have to tweak texturing a bit in order to let animation sequences render in an acceptable time.
Actually I am concentrating on different ways to visualize the jump sequence and started with the classical jump grid.
These are two test renderings:
The samples, which will come in a next post will show a more irregular illuminated jump field.
Regards,
Mert

I'd suggest making the jump grid a LOT finer. IIRC one of the MT books had a jumping ship on the cover didn't it? It just looked like a grid of thin blue lines...

Hi !
Ok. I will increase grid density and tweak the color range to blue...
Fly around animation is rendering, too.

Great minds think alike - I've been trying the same thing!
"Why not finish the modelling and texturing before doing the 'special effects'?"
I don't know about Mert, but after working on this every day for 2-3 weeks I'm sick of the sight of the bloody thing! I'm just playing around to give myself a break.
