Are any short cuts in reducing the gerf of the baseball bat Luke wields in ROTJ or would it have to be done by hand?

I’ve been quiet because my 43" 4k PC monitor’s backlight died and i have been unable to work on anything or use the internet ( my phone is too small for me to use for the net , even with my glasses 😉 Being old sucks. I’ve had to borrow a small monitor off a friend but only have it for a week, so i may go quiet again until i can afford to replace it

Replacement backlights are actually pretty cheap on ebay and easy to DIY. You don’t have to buy a new monitor.

Honestly, I’m starting to get very fearful right now.

What are you talking about? Are you ok?

Sorry, I just feel extremely worried about all these things that kept getting in the way of the Revisited edits being finished.

its been like this since the beginning. since 2006, its just how it is. Life gets in the way sometimes, but as Dr Malcolm would say, “life finds a way”

Yeah, I know, think positive. It’s just that his “Being old sucks” comment kind of worries me.

Pretty selfish viewpoint, no? Not “I’m worried about adywan” but “I’m worried I won’t get to see Revisited.”

To be fair, it’s entirely possible that Adywan has been working on Revisited for this user’s entire life. 😉

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

Something i promised to show a while ago but ended up completely forgetting about, was the shot of Luke’s shuttle escaping the Death Star. So here it is:

Original version:

Revisited Version:

That shot took a hell of a lot of work. I had to slow down the gantry and other elements, yet keep the camera movement and the shuttle at the original speed, then track and add the new background. Couldn’t use the original stars to track because they suddenly stop their movement before the end in the original.

Should we not be able to see Endor in the reflection also…?

I think this is actually a great question, oh_riginal, so I hope this doesn’t get overlooked. I didn’t have a problem with it at first as I feel the forest moon is sooo far off in the distance that we wouldn’t see its reflection? But, I rethink that when I see a picture such as the following of a mountain where, even though it is far away, we still can see its reflection on the lake (granted, the distance between the forest moon/DSII is greater than the mtn/lake):

So really I’m not sure, lol, but I am leaning more towards “yes we should”. Maybe someone who definitely knows the science behind reflections can reflect on this and let us know? 😄 Or are you confident that it would, oh_riginal?

I know, this is a fantasy/sci-fi film, but getting even small details like this right is a very nice touch and does help with the immersion that this is all happening and “real”, imho 😃

Instead of just spamming a comment without any thought. Actually, read the thread next time.
The project hasn’t been released yet; it’s never been available.

I don’t think it should be visible because the hangar floor is “above” the planet. In the image you used as reference, the mountains rise higher than the lake. So I think the (the lack of planet) reflections are valid, the floor should reflect things that are “above” it, not below, from our point of view.

Or as Obi-Wan once said “From a certain point of View” 😂😂.

Sorry couldn’t help myself with that one.

That’s a very good point, Braltika - good eye! Even if we see the moon outside (because of the height of the camera), I guess the hanger floor does appear to be slightly “above” the viewable portion of the moon, so you’re right (and Ady too!) we wouldn’t see it’s reflection after all 😃

Greatly appreciate the tremendous amount of work in just that short clip, Ady! Even the stars outside were atrocious not tracking correctly. I’m sure sweat may have been involved but I can only hope no tears and certainly no blood were shed 😄

Adywan, you should probably migrate your image hosting to Imgur or imgbb, since postimage is throwing up their “premium upgrade” banner.

Wait, I’m confused. Isn’t the whole point of this drive so that Adywan can get enough money from other people for supplies? Why would he use his own money to double the donation of others when he’ll already be using his own money later? Why not keep it and use it on top of all the donation money?

You realize if everyone that followed Adywan on facebook donated 5 cents he would more than reach his goal.

So, he’s using his own money to donate to something he’ll automatically get the money back for?

I’m not Adywan. Donations have stalled. I am willing to donate $1,000 to Adywan if others pitch in now and reach that limit.
