  • Final layout of my work in progress, need to tweak some motions and re-render as well as a lot of light tweaking to get a more realistic look to the shots. Some look great, some border on comic/cartoon LOL.
    Models by Marcelo Arias Espinoza, Gordon Brinkmann, JujuVenile and Anson Call.
    Rendered in Lightwave 2015.3 and composited in Hitfilm Pro 15.
    Engine "Turbo" thrust created using Hypervoxels in Lightwave.
    Laser shots a mix of Lightwave Hypervoxels and old school compositing of .jpg blaster "bolts" depending on the shot. Explosions a mix of ActionVFX aerial explosions and HitFilm particle explosions. Lots of Lensflares done in Lightwave (engines, empty explosions, additional lighting on particle explosions....). Audio grabbed from clips on youtube from the original 1978 series.

      That being said at this point I doubt we will ever see a Galactica movie

    It's really impressive that modern computers and software can create animations so similar to the original Battlestar Galactica in 1978. This kind of power also opens up new doors to those who want to go further: One key issue was never directly addressed in the '78 series. The Galactica escaped the massacre near Cimtar, recovering a limited number of fighters. Then when the Galactica and the Pegasus attacked the Cylon City at Gamoray, the complete fighter compliment of both ships were combined aboard the Galactica when the Colonial Fleet escaped Gamoray.
    At no time in the series was the Galactica ever said to be down on its fighter compliment, even though battles were depicted that showed Vipers having been destroyed. In short, despite obvious losses, the Galactica (and Pegasus) never seemed to run out of Vipers; they simply trained new pilots and put the pilots in brand-new Vipers. (And the Galactica even customized at least one Viper, disarming it and enhancing the engines for high-speed reconnaissance in "The Long Patrol"). This leads to what should be obvious but was never directly shown: Colonial battlestars must have the built-in ability for in-situ resource utilization (space jargon for "living off the land"). How could they do this? The underside of the battlestars' hulls have built-in nooks and caverns that would be an excellent place to capture asteroids, even while in flight. A ship like the Galactica (or Pegasus) could snag a few small asteroids of the desired composition, maneuver them to dock with the ship's underside, and then digest the needed raw materials to provide a steady feed of 3D printer stock inside the bowels of the ship. Simple ingest the raw materials, 3D-fabricate the parts and a new squadron of Vipers (or shuttles) comes out the other end. It's also possible that the remains of destroyed Cylon fighters, outposts and freighters ("Lost Planet of the Gods", "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero", "The Living Legend", "The Hand of God") could be captured and salvaged, recycled to also make new ships.
    Maybe this could be shown using 3D animation. The most interesting possibility would be showing the Galactica slowly making parts for even larger spacecraft, perhaps lesser warships to support the Galactica.

    Are you using the Bloom filter in LW, or is that a post-processing step in your compositor app? I've bought each LW upgrade over the years and am currently playing with 2020.0.2. The lighting and surfacing system has changed ENTIRELY. Distant lights now have a dome-like feature where you can spec the angle they illuminate. Makes for great soft shadows.

    • @TomCrews
      @TomCrews  3 года назад

      Glow added with compositing in Hitfilm Pro vs. additional render time in LW. I upgraded from 2015 to 2018 and then to 2019 but did not upgrade to 2020 as they doubled the upgrade price for my account....and I never started using 2018 or 2019 anyway...

    I like the direction and the animation. I am not sure I like the lighting as much. It looks in some shots like the ambient intensity is too high. If you are going to for the classic evenly lit look, you should probably use area lights. If you are going for a more realistic space look, try using less ambient. Maybe use an area for a fill, if you feel like updating shadows. Also have windows, engines and other light sources on ships cast lights.

    • @TomCrews
      @TomCrews  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for the feedback. There's no ambient light at all, I set that to 0 and typically use 1 distant light or an additional distant as a fill that doesn't cast shadows. It's possible I didn't zero out the ambient in a few scenes but that's usually my first action when I start a scene. The models don't have any lights other than the Engines (which do cast light with a limited clamped range) and surfaces are just set with luminosity 100% for those representing lights/windows. I haven't taken the time to add lights to each area and set their range, etc... I started on the Galactica but after adding about 40 lights and saw I was going to need so many more I just gave up. I also was making them low intensity lens flares as well so they would be visible as a light and not just illuminating objects. Lighting is one of the things I do plan to tweak heavily on the scenes....at some point.

    • @leplane_
      @leplane_ 3 года назад +1

      @@TomCrews It looks great tho! You can try DP light plugins if you don't have them. Then use the DP Dome light which acts as a quick occlusion light that gives those nice diffuse shadows. Useful unless the ship already have an occlusion map.

    I'm a fan of the original, TRUE, Battlestar Galactica and think Moore's "re-image" is a disgrace and nothing what so ever to do with the original.
    He probably wanted to make his own show but got no interest so when offered the chance th remake Galactica he promised to do so but then proceeded to make his own show with a thin BSG paint job and called it Re-imaged,
    I would love to see a new show faithful to the original made with current technology, but then I say that about Babylon5.

      I totally agree! 😇😊😎👍✌️ The Original Series - aka the One True Battlestar Galactica and neither Galactica 1980 nor GINO! Although Ron Moore had done tremendous work on Star Trek but he was the wrong choice for bringing back Galactica...which he didn't! He just made a mishmash of Space: Above and Beyond, The Terminator, Blade Runner and Westworld (1973), and called it "Battlestar Galactica" which we the Galactica fandom along with Dirk Benedict knew was NOT the case! And I do still get tired of people and articles just ignorantly dismissing Galactica as a Star Wars rip-off when it never was! Especially when Star Wars was more or less a combination of Flash Gordon, the film Akira Kurosawa, Dune and Valerian & Laureline! (And I say that as a Star Wars fan!) I really wish there could be a Dave Filoni/Jon Favreau type producer who liked and understood the lore and legacy of Galactica, and really bring it back thus superseding GINO altogether! 😊✌️ But alas, if only! 🥺😒☹️
