KeyShot Toon Challenge W.I.P.

Here's a little status update of the complete track.

Still need 4 boobytrap sections. I'm aiming at completing the model on Monday. Should still give me more than enough time to properly animate/materialise/render before the deadline.
I've already figured out wht to animate and how best to do it. It should be a straighforward process.

Now that I look at it like this... Maybe I should make the wheel more halo-like.

I think it is an improvement?

Great progress. I like the open wheel.

[DriesV]

The wheel was intended as a 'halo-like planet' conceptually from the beginning. So I decided to model in a bit of drive mechanics.
Now it's a planetary gear planet. Makes sense in a way...

Ah now that is clever - luv it!

Dries - you are having too much fun with this.

Next you need laser beams.  I hope your video will have sound.  Pew - Pew - Pew!

Now I'm starting to get it.  It's an exercise wheel for CG artists or Luxion code writers!  Looks like something Arthur C. Clarke would have dreamed up.  I can't even imagine what your animate tree will look like!

That's a GREAT idea! Will have to integrate that one...

Possibly the greatest compliment I can think of.

Ed, thanks for the hint about lasers!

Dude!! ... This is going to be so cool when it's all done, if you get the time I would love to see it done in PR rendered animation. It's just totally awesome Dries, well done!

Thanks! Glad you like it.

I was actually just thinking that yesterday. I'd happily donate my scene to a render farm.

We can render it for you once it is all set and done. Just let us know.
