Wait...that is an SGU stargate!

and here is something old i made for aragons fanfic
just to have something to look at while you browse this thread :P

Am I mistaken or is that actually an SGU stargate? The animation is BEAUTIFUL.

Why would you have an SGU stargate in an Atlantis fanfic? :icon_cry:

Lol it was a request from aragon as his fic has some minor tie ins to sgu.

well here is something else namly the begining fase of blowing up destiny
been tweaking and learning some new skills in regards to CG explosions and here are the results of my first test.

What if the Ancients never intended Destiny to continue its mission one they learned to ascend? What is that antiquated technology was seen as a potential future threat to the various aliens throughout the galaxy and the Ancients considered it a mistake?

Fanfic idea: Atlantis activates an automatic sequence of events beginning with preparing the city for space travel. The crew onboard the city goes into a panic as the engines fire to life and Atlantis takes off from San Francisco harbor. It dips into the Sun for fuel and then slingshots around the Sun and goes into hyperspace. then it opens a portal within hyperspace which allows it to travel almost instantly to Destiny. When it emerges from hyperspace, the gate on Destiny activates to evacuate the ship to Atlantis, and then when the ship is empty, the city's weapons destroy her and fly through the wreckage. :tealc_newanime002:

Personally i dont care if SGU fits into cannon or not and i dont need another reason to not like it is doing a fair job of burring itself atm ;)

as for the fic idea NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would i offer my help on something that features the SGU people so heavily ;)
----------------------------------
anyway nuff baout that.

This is an early expermiment involving "Density" when it tries to enter "FTL" And instead..

well you see what happens...
ill likly change out the whole scene and have Density staionary and have these..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqt1nJSGZQU

poke some holes in it instead.... we'll see Stay tuned.

Hey, would you be willing to share your 3d model? Yours is the most detailed I have seen yet.

That's very compassionate of you Overmind! I would have left out the bit about evacuating the crew to Atlantis & just blasted the shit out of them for the crack!

? tbh im slightly offended that you asked, there is to much work in most of my models just for me to casually realese them for anyone to use at their whim.
also I HATE freeloaders that ask for my models as this is a daily occurence.

its just its a huge annoyance for my to get spammed everywhere i post with "Will you release it" "can you send it to me" "where can i find this model file" etc grumble... bunch...of..freeloaders grumble..
nothing personal ;)

as for a copy of this one we can talk over PM.

I know how you feel dude, which is why I still actually buy all my stuff rather than download/copy it. If you truly love a product/service you should be prepared to pay for it if you want "on demand" availiablity. I see nothing wrong with fanvids that take clips and/or musical scores or fanfic that borrows characters/settings that someone else has made, but to outright knock off an entire products shits me. Of course there are exceptions such as freeware or free downloads etc in which someone does something for "the love of it" or "self promotion" or even as a "social service", but flogging someone else's work really shits me.

End Ramble, time for dinner :)

Agreed! but bare in mind i AM a swede and that makes me prone to acts of piracy on occasion :P

Hurray! i have DONE IT! SGUS is now a nuclear power ^^

you know this means we could go rampant and conquer parts of the world by force in the name of SGU'S right? :P
shall we start by nuking GW? LMAO!

Dude your models are awesome.
Seeing that stuff makes me wanna try and do some myself.
So you would recommend that MODO software in combination with Lightwave?
What about 3D Studio Max, ever tried that one?
By the way have you seen the special feature on the SG-dvd's where they show a bit of how they do the CGI and what they use to render it?
Makes your laptop feel rather tiny and insignificant.
You seem to be doing a top job with it though, keep it up! :)

Just springs to mind...
How about doing a 3D model of Malozzi and his dildo :D

Thank you!
well i def recomend giving it a go as ive come alot further then i thought possible in the year ive been at it.

And yes i Use MODO401 as my main modeler and LW as my renderer/animator but these are 2 quite expensive programs and the learning curve is very steep.

personally i started with the freeware program called google sketchup as its free and it was easy to learn so i recomend you try that first before paying a tonne of money for something you might not be that into in the end.

and yes i have tried 3ds max but i didnt like it that much.

and yes i have seen those extras and a few others including some inside looks at Rainmaker studios.
And yes i know how they make the models and cg in the show.

the models themselfs are built in either MAYA, LIGHTWAVE or MODO
for example Destiny is built with modo as is atlantis and the daedalus but there are also models of atlantis and daedalus built with maya, this is BC TPTB use multiple companies to make the CG (choosing whomever does it cheapest and fastest each time)

then they use their uber renderfarms to render it out (i really wish i had accses to one of those.)

Just springs to mind...

LOL i could but i donno :P

So did you have any course material you used when learning this modelling? Like books and stuff.
Or did you just try to figure out all the options in the software yourself?

Regarding that renderfarm business...
Do you remember that SETI project where people could participate by putting their personal computers to work? It basically used the power cpu's had in reserve. The software would download a package and start working on it until it was ready and then uploaded the info and downloaded the next package.
A construction like that could be very useful for people like yourself that want to have the opportunity to use more computing power than they have at their disposal themselves. The more people participating the stronger the virtual rendering farm so to speak. Whattaya think, could it be done?

well im pretty much 100% self taught and most of my skills come from basic trial and error, altho i have read/watched quite a few tutorials when ive hit a wall and they have been very helpfull.

there are tons of tutes on youtube and the net so its basicly just google any specifics you need to know.
im also active on several 3d forums that have members who freely help/share any info you might need but the more advanced you get and the more advanced stuff you do the less people there will be to offer advice as most do this as a hobby while i do this as a learning deal so i in the future could possibly get to do this for as living.

ah yes all these pay to use softwares have a built in option called "network render"
so if say a friend of mine with LW in canada wanted to he could lend me a cpu that would let me render faster however the issue here is Net stability and speed and currently my internet accses isnt that fast.

but yes there is the option ;)


So you going to give CG a go? ill be happy to share any knowledge on the subject and/or help out in anyway i can ;)
