Firefly Fan Film Blog - New Animation Test

Tuesday, January 20, 2004 5:52 PM

Here we go! I am finally getting juiced at the prospects of the animations for "Firefly: Orpheus"

I did some re-texturing of the firefly model and it is turning out really nice.

I still have a bit of work to do on the firefly effect for the engine, but it is coming along and I feel fairly confident that when all is said and done we will have a top notch effect there.

My new test is online at:

With a little more work I think we'll be ready to go.

I am currently also building 3d models of our interior sets, we'll be shooting the entire show green screen (at the moment) so I am doing some big work on building the interior of the ship.

I'm trying to put it together as a complete model, so you can do an entire interior fly through in one shot, but the size of the file is eating me alive... So...

Until I upgrade from my 2 ghz machine to a 3 ghz with 1 gig of ram... It may be built in sections.

So...

On the lighter side my notebook had some sort of crash and literally the ONLY file that was affected was the Firefly Orpheus Script I was working on.

Thankfully I had the previous version still, so I am currently having to go through and do a re-write to get it back to the re-write I had already done....

YEARRRRGH!

Anyway, back to the grindstone. Drop me a line and let me know what you think thus far on the animation tests.

As always props to Biootech for his use of the model.
