I USED THE LENSE FLARES, BECAUSE MY KIDS WANTED THEM.  HERE'S A PIC OF MY DAUGHTER SHOOTING OUT FORCE LIGHTNING FROM HER HAND.  IT WAS MY VERY FIRST ATTEMPT AT IT.  SINCE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADD MUCH BETTER DETAIL TO LIGHTNING.  I CAN EVEN CREATE VERY REALISTIC FIRE IN CS3 NOW.  MY NEXT GOAL IS CREATING REALISTIC LOOKING WATER.

So I sat down and decided to start work on a shot I've neglected for quite some time. Here's the easy part...



Looks decent enough. Now the hard part. Ventress leaps into the air as Dooku swings down and slices the [couch?] in half. Then a bunch of hazy smoke swirls up in front of the blade, But we can sort of still see the blade behind it. After a little playing around i decided tha the smoke is pretty think and erased the glow in these parts.


I think it looks good [and saves a LOT of messing about], What do you guys think?

I've also neatened up Dookus extremely point tipped blade once again. I only intend to do that in extreme cases and it is enough to bug me in these scenes...

I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.

Hey Johnny, I hope you didn't abandon this, I was really looking forward to it.

The project certainly isn't abandoned but it is still on pause. I'm actually between computers at the moment as my tower died on me suddenly. I DO have my data stored on external drives so I should be able to get back into things easily enough, although it will still be a week or two before I can get a new computer - as in the one I want. I decided it would be simpler to get a new system than repair the old one.

I'm sure you can all appreciate that effects like rotoscoping are a painfully slow process, Just rounding the tip of Dooku's blade alone takes a while, if you recal it used to be a very sharp poit, like the tip of a sharpened pencil.

I've also had a look back through the thread and noticed the difference in what i know now to what i knew back when I started, I'd like to take another go at the color correction as i think i've taken aout a bit too much colour - the main goal was to have flesh tones not be quite so yellow.

The main goals overall are

Make the introduction of Ventress a prologue scene

Main crawl and pan down sequence

recut the Muunilinst [sp?] battle so that the events all happen chronologically

Add more music - main titles / end titles / some battle music...

Redo ALL lightsabers - as in from scratch - not just added glows...

redo lasers and similar effects - where needed

colour correction - flesh tones / holograms...

add Jedi starfighters to the very end battle

reworked end credits - correct and add details, music, blue tinted font.

I'll do a more detailed list once i'm back in action.

It's cool that people are still interested in this - sorry it's taking forever to get done, that's just how i roll.

Sorry for the bump, but I'm curious about the status of this.  What say ye, Mr. Ringo?
