Just looked at pidjy's ship and I thought... I can do something like that. Evidently it came out way different than I had expected. T'is a freebie, in the Bryce section. Comments welcome, and Master Pidjy, I loved yours, I'm looking forward to a little skills contest b/w the two of us. Sci-Fi ship wise :) Drac

Can I join the skill contest wit a sci-fi style explosion animation? I hope to get it finished tomorrow. (it's rendering now and the render won't be finished untill tomorrow morning.) I still have to do some per-frame post-render compositing.

hmm... :)

is that a yes? 8)

Me too! I want to join ;-) Josselin

All righty, then two weeks from now, the best Sci-Fi pic made entirely by our own models and no imports in Bryce wins! A_S or Clay can moderate, everyone else can judge. Cool?

Fine by me. Two weeks, that makes it beginning of January, right? Josselin

You'd better get your pacemaker ready for when I post my explosion-animation if the animation of my volume textures is as good as the quality in the still I testrendered then you will not know what hit you :)

nu-be, my father's a pilot, my brother's a pilot, and I can fly a mean Microsoft Flight Sim! I do know about rudders and ailerons, and they come out of the texturing. :)

Draculaz you say you can fly a mean microsoft flightsim. Have you succeded once in driving over the nimmitz at full throttle without chrashing? (that means flying towards it and 'landing' at full speed and then fly of on the other end again without braking) I never succeded in doing that trick. Just flying very low over it and landing will ork eventually, but driving, that's really hard.
