Hey there, It’s been three months since I’ve last given an update in regards to this project. I have been very busy with many things in my life and just very recently I had the time to keep working on this.
And yes, its another Alderaan explosion test.
It doesn’t stray too far from the last one, but my main gripe is that it looks very low-quality + some of the explosions are in a different framerate which makes them look stuttery and weird. This is mainly due to the source material I have, which is the ArtBeats explosion pack which is also used by Adywan on his Revisited editions.
This leaves me to two options: Either A.) Redo some of the explosion material to make them more HQ/replace some footage or B.) Have it AI upscaled to match the quality. If anyone can lend their computer to upscale this explosion, I will be more than thankful.
(This is also the first time I composited in the green laser, which slightly looks off even though its the original one I rotoscoped in. It may be because of how weird the original laser was aniamted which gives it that stuttery look. I don’t know how to fix it, but for some reason it looked really good in both the SE versions and Adywan’s version, so if anyone has suggestions, please let me know!)
