Whoa that was neat! Maybe with some better editing and some new mattes the errors will reduced...

who knows... :P

-Angel

Thats the point. I make this matte to help Ady to eliminate the matte lines around the actors ;)

No problem to make the ROTJ too ( if i have time :) )

-Angel

Well to be honest, i used these models to make the comparisons and the renders:

 in this pic:

The bridge is here, assuming the bridge is so big compare with the mass of the ship.

So a posibility is still here :)

-Angel

Ok ImpFighter :)

Also i made this matte in my free time hopefuly to help Ady.

I hope it works

-Angel

It seems ImpFighter that the Executor has enough big ass to be a bit on screen :)

First i tryied to be closest the the angle/camera/position with the render of this shot:

You can see it,

and secondly i find something interesting...( maybe wrong)

it seems that Mr vader isnt standing in one position during the falcon pursuit.

The window that he is talking to luke is the no 3 in this^ image

so i assume that when he sees the falcon enters to hyperspace we see him in the center window, so he was walking during this conv.

Fingers crossed :)

-Angel

Yes I considered that.

@Ziz i can't make proper renders. for some reason the bridge model and the SD models are not behave well.

@ImpFighter,

here:

You can see not only the death star surface ( so the hull should be there) but the hell bad copy paste of the spaceships (-1)

and here:

Just Ignore completely the red box (!) You can see the camera angle is a bit in top so the hull should be there :)

But these are ROTJ so an other time

Cheers

-Angel

I ve played with some old 3d models of stardestroyer and executor to caculate in the hull is vissible and i discover that:

In the ordinary SD there is no way to have the hull onscreen when the camera is in the bridge.

But the interesting is in Executor, is a possibility to see something because of the length it has.

Here some screencaps from where the hull possible is visible:

From the side at least we can see some detail...

Also i forgot to mention that a possible spot can be when we see vader to see the stars in the executor reveal.

-Angel

PS: offtopic a bit but in ROTJ camera angles in the executor bridge allows the hull to be visible.

Well the whole visible hull isnt bad idea at all. But we have to think from what point of view is the camera to be visible.

A quick snapshot from force unleashed ( dont count it as canon or whatever) still it shows a good idea when is visible and not ( the hull)

later :)

-Angel

Oh my god! I love the whole detail you are noticing but from the other hand its a movie and the time in a movie is diferent from the runtime. Whatever :P Be my Guest :)

-Angel

Actually I liked this color corection of the SE ( don't hit me :) )

It blend the scenes and reduce the black&white 80s style.

But I enjoy Ady's color correction and I follow him to whatever he will do.

-Angel

I think the 2nd pic's buildings are from the SE extended falcon's platform aproach! Wich is a good thing i think!

-Angel

Oh yes! I can see continuity in the buildings.

Nice job Ady!

-Angel

Some posts ago Ady said that he wanted some matte painitings for Bespin platforms.

I think I can help if you show some pictures/screenshots of what specific shot you want.

-Angel

I ve notice some transparecy issues in the tie fighter chase at the very beginning( to hard to spot) in both versions.I dont really care about them, just mention them.

Keep it up Ady. Your work is outstanding

-Angel

Edit: Pics:

Plus the Lightsaber is changing from ignited to just hilt, you can see that someone pulls it(see Building Empire)

-Angel

Happy New Year To all, with Health and more Creativity!

-Angel

Tie fighters will be useless against the shields.Like Veers told to Vader.

The X-Wing-Ties idea sounds good.

-Angel

I have a question.

We See at ANH that the millenium falcon has some green lights in its interior just before the Cockpit ( I think its 4-5 in a row)

Now We see the same lights in ENB with blue.

Its an upgrade? or in the color corection will be back Green?

Thx

-Angel

Very Impressive Ady!Still my i think the lasers need more motion blur.Thx

-Angel

This, this, this.  Something made of light or plasma or whatever shouldn't cast a shadow.  The biggest offender in my book is in RotJ when Vader is walking up the Emperor's stairs towards Luke before he was unwise to lower his defences.  Vader has the saber in front of him, then swings it out to the side, and it casts a stick shadow on the ground.  Also when Vader and Luke are having their final swings towards The Pit its pretty bad.  I don't recall any in ESB.

Ady, are you planning on eliminating lightsaber shadows when you can?

That shadow appears and to ROTS too,in the very first lightsaber battle with Dooku. When obi-kenobi get pushed by Dooku you can see the pod shadow.

I ve just see the new trailer of Force Unleashed game.I ve noticed that at the begining it has a cool shot of imperiar star destroyers ready to attack a planet, which is cool shot or concept for the imperial fleet blocades the hoth system.

Notice that the security recordings holograms in Ep III have color.

You can paint the rock so it will overlap Ben's ghost. At closer shots it needs some foreground elements for overlapping again.

-Angel

Very good your mix GM, i like it a lot when the Emperor stops Vader.

And its me or the matte painting in the holorgram is bad tracked?
