Official Post from Lunatics! Project: This has been a very incomplete set for a long time -- I've been adding set dressing props to it, improving the materials and textures, and generally try to make it look better. It's not there yet, but this is already a big improvement.
Further set dressing, this time with characters rendered from the shot file. Still a bit left to do in the further background.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: We've had this set for quite awhile now, but it's a bit sparse, especially since it's supposed to be a busy open-air market and shopping center.My original concept was to use a lot of billboards on this set, but I finally decided it'd actually be easier to just do some simple models. Here, I've adde
Finishing another set for final rendering. The animation in the sequence this is for is already finished, but the set needed a lot more work.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: This has been bugging me for awhile. Earlier, we had the entire helmet following the character's "head" armature bone, then we changed it to stay with their "chest" bone, but then the communications cap was also changed, which just looked silly:Georgiana's comm cap, not following her head (note that
An annoying rigging issue fixed. Getting down to nitpicks to make shots “render ready”.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: This is a new two-shot of Sergei and Georgiana for a bit of dialog in in the Soyuz Flight sequence.Some problems had accumulated with the composition in the final sequence, so I've been making a few changes.This is fully-rendered with the Freestyle ink lines composited.
Another new shot added to the Soyuz Flight sequence. This was originally audio-only, but I have added this two-shot for a bit of dialog.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: After several retakes, I think I've finally recorded a decent screencast of the assembly process for the character animation file for the last major sequence in episode 1. The above is a test image I took after blocking in the characters, props, and set.I'm not sure why I never composed a shot throu
I liked this through-the-window test render so much, I modified my animatic to include it in the final edit.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: This is one of those simple finishing touches I just never got around to doing: name plates for the press conference, but I'm trying to get this sequence "render ready", as I want to render some of it for another (different!) preview clip.The text is just a texture -- I think it looks better and it'
Name plates for the Press Conference scene (before I fixed the spellings in Cyrillic -- that’s done now).
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: Well. That was hard.But I now appear to have an Ansible script that brings up (very nearly) our existing website on a staging virtual machine server running the latest Debian O/S (9/"stretch").This particular screenshot is my proof of the "last brick" -- namely a file from the latest revision before
Major IT milestone for our project. We’re transitioning to something approaching a “DevOps” arrangement so we can have more rapid development of our site (and less labor).
With luck, this will make rolling out our TACTIC-based “Virtual Studio” a lot easier.
Official Post from Lunatics! Project: Okay. I think I might be done with this now. Time to move on to the next steps.This is the orbiter with decals and bump-map detailing completed.The window material is actually my first use of "Mask transparency". I'm planning to composite this exterior model with a match-moved shot of our interior s
More completely textured Soyuz-SF orbiter.
