Thanks Ripplin!Wish I had more free time to work on that kind of stuff.
Ady, I already sent you an email. Don't know why I thought waiting for a PM was a good idea, LOL and I already downloaded the models so we're good to go!
:D
adywan said:i can't reproduce this with a model so i desperately need someone who can recreate the pod car using CG.
I can and will help you with this, Ady. Just send me the details in a PM and I'll send you my email address so we can tlk further about what you want/need.
:)
Dangerous Incorporated said:Can someone tell me why that AT-AT is falling? You see 3 AT-ATs then a shot of look coming up underneath then you see an AT-AT falling but I didnt see anything make it fall.
Read a few posts back, and you'll find your answer in one of Ady's posts. Don't be lazy. ;)
I think I've found something (for once):
Roughly at the 1 second mark of the latest video, that dude inside the circle turns around, makes a "firing his weapon" motion but no actual laser bolts come out of it, so it'd be great if you could add a couple there, Ady.
How 'bout that?
Great vid btw, dunno what all the nitpicking is coming from, but I loved it!
adywan said:....... Its the same starfield i used for ANH:R and no one commented on that so i'm not too bothered by repeated star clusters. lol
....And of course now people will go back to ANH:R to look for those repeated starfield clusters, lol. Well, at least now you've given people something to do while waiting for the Trailer. :D
adywan said:but with the only Fine Molds models i can find are on Ebay and are about £200, a quarter of that is just shipping to the Uk, its just a case of saving up as much as i can and preying there is still one available when i get the cash.
eBay isn't always the best option IMO. I've purchased multiple models throughout the years from this Hobby Link Japan, excellent service all around, as well as prices (£129). I fully recomend them so it's something you should really consider when the time comes to buying that marvelous Fine Molds MF, Ady:

They actually have al of FM models in stock right now, in case you also need the Slave 1, X-wing, TIE's, etc.

Savage said:"Yeah, I just got a funny feeling. Like I'm never gonna see her again."
That of course means you're killing Lando, if so, great! Go for it!!!
But this^ Han quote could also be taken as Han sensing he could die. And, Harrison always thought Han should die in the end, right?
So if your plan is to kill Han, I'd love tat too! You're absolutely right, ROTJ needs a bittersweet ending, and I can't think of anything better to achieve this than to kill them both, Lando AND Han!
So I say to the "purists", no flaming, lol. I'd really love it if both of them were to be killed in the end. :D
aaaaaannnndddd.....sorry for going off topic with ROTJ stuff, but hey, you brought it up! ;)
PS. If there's a way to show without any doubt that Boba died in tatooine, that'd be great as well.
Once more you've outdone yourself, man!
GREAT new Wampa!!! Truly amazing stuff, damn! wow!
^ That's not disturbing at all...heh.

Dangerous Incorporated, you're too funny! But you're trying to be serious, which makes all that babbling even funnier lol. ;)

Can't wait to see the new and improved Wampa! :D
Ripplin said:Wow, quite an introduction to the board, Husker! Welcome to the world of the posting. ;)
I wouldn't be surprised if someone (vaderios? heh heh) would at least try to do something with your 3D models...which look very nice, by the way.
Thanks man!
Hate to say all those (and many, many other) artsy thngs i used to do are pretty much in the past now due to lack of time.
And thanks for welcomng me lol! This is the first SW forum i post in since my days in the OS....a long time ago.

...the only way to pull this off would be to create a 3d head and track every movement in every shot precisely then mask only the parts that need to be exposed. plus you would also have to match the trajectory of the lightsabre for the lighting on the 3d head.
I made this 3D model a few years ago, Ady. It's in Maya 8.5 but it could easily be converted to any other format.
I too think it would be just too much of a pain to try to match the movement, it's completely crazy to even try, but that's exactly what you've been doing with these movies all along, isn't it? ;) Would it be extremely time consuming? hell yeah! but if you even consider trying it for a second, my 3D model is yours in a heartbit.
But if anyone here wants to have a go at it, I'll gladly send the file as well.
Here you can see more pics of the 3D helmet:

Now, let me thank you for all the work, effort and love you've put into making these films what they should've been a long time ago. I've been reading this thread since it started, right after I stumbled upon ANH:R and WOW!
To be honest I had lost my love for SW... with the prequels and all, but now I fell like a little kid again when I watch ANH:R and that's just because of what you've achieved.
I never felt like I could really contribute with anything so I was just lurking, reading endless debates about flippers and snow flakes, green lasers and whatnot, but all in good fun. Ah! and blue TIEs LOL!....but reading that the only chance to achieve a certain VFX needed a 3D Vader head, made me finally create an account, just in case one day you find good use to it. If not, well at least it helped me make the jump into this amazing project.
Thanks again, man, and keep surprising us!
:D
