Now, I'm not sure what timezone you're in, Tal, but I don't think that matters anymore.

Got my entry done yesterday, just gotta scan it tonight at home. Right before the deadline

Well, after reading your story, I knew it was already fighting for second.
...and I am still hoping, not because I don't like HS-movie, but because I still cannot watch it. It stays "not available" both within a browser and within the youtube app anybody else has a problem?

[edit]it works on my other computer. Strange. third place indeed [/edit]

Thank you, CSE. The compliment is really appreciated. I'm happy that I finally had the time and the inspiration to put together something in the first place

You should be proud of your entry. The level of detail is fantastic!

Woo entered right before the deadline

Hmmm, that's very strange. I had a look at all the settings and stuff, but nothing seems to point at why it doesn't work Maybe there's a secret 'Don't let CSE watch this!' button

Still, it was fun to make, thanks for all the compliments. I've got an idea for the next entry, but it all depends on what the subject is!

Pencil on paper is always nice! Looks good, Dino!

Spoiler:      SHOW

I am actually quite happy on my own learning curve - the spaceship is an achievement technically for me. BUT I still have a lot to master - like the accurate positioning of textures (look at the ordered windows in the dark parts of the ship of HS - I could not do that yet). And honestly this month the storytelling does not flow naturally with a progression and an nice chute that is visually obvious and striking

Nice drawing, Dino!

I'll let you into a little secret..... I didn't know how to do it either until a couple o' weeks ago

Remember the early version of the Aurora (I didn't decide on the name until about 5 minutes before I pressed the render button) I posted up? Well here's the more or less finalised one. The black bits are where I added the lights.



I inset the area where I wanted the lights, then used the extrude function and pushed them inwards. Then I used extract to create a separate plane from the extruded bits which would count as another object.... So I could have a different material



I used a mixed material for the lit sections - the beauty of a mixed material is you can use different scalings for the two components, so I kept the first component the same as the base ship material, then fiddled with the lighting material scaling until I was happy with it.

In short, trial and error

Trial & Error is also my "technique" while photoshoping. In the process you can create better things (or get better ideas) than you intended in the first place

March results incoming! (finally!)
