Im a freelance 3d artist and ive been doing a bit of Eve inspired CGI in my spare time. Unfortunatley I will never have to time to complete it all so Ive release what I have done so far.
www.techav.co.uk/main.avi
If any1 from CCP sees this, I do have 9 years experience in the computer games Industry so drop me a line if u need some CGI/in game assets.
BTW all the models are copywrite of CCP games

Very nice!!! It'll be added to my vid collection!
Only thing I would question is the perceived size of the Thorax. It seems to be a bit on the small size, like a frig, when in actual reality it could probably be portrayed differently to match its true size. I can't do this stuff myself so, once again, nice freakin job!

Excellent work. My only complaint is the lack of ripple on the water but having done 3D modeling as a past hobby for a number of years making a wake is very difficicult (at least with the software I used).
I love the speed feeling you get while watching the cruiser. Much props to ya!

Whelp, in Maya it's amazingly simple... but in software like Lightwave and 3ds max... not so easy ;) Maya's fluid dynamic containers make it alot easier.

I did have a displacement map on the water to create a wake but my fprime renderer was not rendering it correctly. Doing it with lightwaves native renderer would have been to slow. Im brushing up on my maya and prmam atm, so watch this space.

Merv, you've got one comming :) I've just got a full license agreement with CCP to go ahead with it :) I'm hoping that I can get Lou to put aside some of his work for this project (He's already agreed to help where he can). Look for the offical announcement on the video forums here within a week and a half.

You forgot the part where its tritanium breaks down in the atmosphere, and the intense heat from the friction of going 200 kilometers / second.
But to be serious, it's very awesome. The textures were very nice, as was the water.

The model is ripped from the game. Its about 4k polys. I did a little extra texturing with Specularity and Luma maps.

Pretty good! Some crits to consider:
Make the deimos displace the water. Might not be realistic but it would make it more beleivable. (And cooler)
The water reflects the deimos, but the deimos doesn't seem to reflect the water. This makes it look like the deimos was rendered apart and composited in later.
There doesn't appear to be any shading on the bottom of the deimos either. This is really noticible when the deimos breaks for higher altitude.
The scale of the waves in comparison to the deimos make the deimos look small.
Add real heat waves for the engine exhaust.
Sharpen the ground texture.
And to be really nit-picky. Gallente ships use ion propulsion engines. These don't generate smoke it atmosphere as far as I know.

First of all this just a project for spare time now a full blow work thing. If some1 payed me to do it I could spend the extra time refining it.
Point 1(wake). Please read prievious posts in thread.
Point2. It was comped in later, and the reflectance of the service meant that there was no reflection on the deimos. I know this since the i told the renedered to take that into account during the render.
Point3
The shading should be realistic, since im using HDR image based lighting for the ambient component of my lighting. Too may cg artists try to over illuminate the model.
Point4.
This is true, the displacment would have sorted that out a bit but it didnt work with fprime (even though it should).
Point5.
Could have done but just used a composite pass, faster and easier considering I only get about and hour a day to work on it.
Point6.
True, but since its a satalite photo, it was the only 1 i could get for free at the time. Higher rez cost money.
Point7.
Dont care, artistic license... it looks nice.

Very cool man, love the water sequence.
Only thing that bugs me is the Thorax, no good points of scale on it so it's hard to tell how big it is.

Lou this is looking pretty slick.
I think the only thing that's fighting with this is the current wave pattern. The movement patterns are that of smaller surface waves (ie. not a mass of water moving in one direction, but fast direction changing surface waves) If you're trying to sell larger waves you should slow them down. If that isn't the intention then they should be scaled down. For me this is what makes the Thorax look small on the water shots.
...as the Thorax pulls up it would be nice if the tail of the craft sunk slightly (just a little bit). The front of the craft should be leading the action in the pull up by 1 to 2 frames. This would help you sell that and also allow you to put tiny bit of weight into the direction change.

Especially good work on the textures, I know how tricky it can be to get Tech2 ships looking right with shaders.

The model is gorgeous, the water is spiffy... but the integration isin't too great.
I was gonna say that it should leave a trail in the water and all sort of integration stuff that is completly missing such as reflected light, but I re-read your post, and it says it's not finished, so I'll just consider you'd probably have done it if you had time.

so uhm ... you wanna upload the LW object files somewhere? :p
i gots LW aswell but i only do scenes and lighting not modeling :(
You know? Theres a program that lets you easily extract the .stuff files. I dont know about Lightwave, but Max can open the extracted models without any problems.
Only problems is I dont have it anymore, and forgot the name, but you will probably find it if you dig enough on the forums. Or maybe some nice guy is going to post a link.
