really great stuff here. Seems like you had a long break from your initial 2018 postings, glad to see your back at it here in 2022…BTW it is your work that inspired me to take focus to the deleted scenes and even my extended versions, so very excited to see your latest.

but seeing yours now I see it can be done (I would not use the turbines, but your landspeeder model as a base for texture from footage on top of that verses a different skin might work (I would leave out the engine in that initial running in shot or at least go just a mesh and dark as opposed to turbines spinning but that is just me. The original does not show the rear engine, so kind of threw me when I first saw it, but it certainly is clean work you are doing with CG.

…but I see you use of 3D CG used in a good way and it makes me re-think. I do think the houses in the background of treadwell and like scene where he is miles out in the desert are too must as the scene works without all that I think. I live around farm land and it just goes for miles with nothing, so feel that is more real for a desert farm, but each has their own take so I am not knocking, just I don’t think you need all those extra elements. If you are offering later 2 versions for people… that works.

Your usage lately w/CG as a compliment to fix damaged stuff is really great use case though. I do like the rear shot of the landspeeder that scene only has two shots and is very boring without some extra, the side shot in itself is really damaged and lots of under exposed, so not sure how yours will look, but interested in that one. Keep up the good work. Also like your luke in the cave fix for ROJ deleted scene. The shot of R2 and like side view looks great.

Thanks for this Detail Message… just Looked at yours now and it looks pretty awesome… It’s always nice to see other fans doing stuff like this, cos to be honest looking at my own work kind of gets boring and seeing others do a similar thing is always refreshing and inspires me and I’m always learning from other people by looking at their work

It’s very flattering to hear that I inspired you, that’s the best compliment anyone can get… so Thankyou

you also mentioned my long break, the truth is I didn’t take a long break, what happened was I hated my work, with all the extra buildings, etc and overall it was a poor job… Some people on here hated it and told me about it, It kinda upset me as i had put so much hard work into it… BUT THEY DID ME A FAVOUR… they weren’t being nasty or anything negative, They were showing me things I didn’t see… THEY WERE RIGHT… when I looked at my work I thought " what the hell am I doing, this looks like Crap" lol
so now if you’ve seen my previous posts ive removed all the extra crap, tried to keep it simple to its original form, and only added stuff when I absolutely had to, for example, to cover really damaged area or something like that…
So going back to the long break, I didn’t upload for a long time just because it was taking me so long to do, Frame by Frame clean up… I only started posting when I had something to post…

Just like now, I haven’t posted in a while, But I’m still hard at work on it every day after I finish work…

Thanks again and stay awesome my Dude
