another update, this time with textures. I think that he is now worth to be a wipEout pilot.
I actually took him further than I intended to, since he will not get that much screentime.
Hope you like it,

He looks excellent now. 8)
Again, great job Tora.

then give him some more ;)Quote:

That is what a stillframe from the animation might look like. The background is still a bitmap (sorry, forgot the original artist), its 3D pendant is finished but not yet textured. 12 min a frame (including all layers) on a Dual Xeon 3.2GHz.

he looks like a clay or wax dummy, but over-all excellent job:+ http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/images/mess6/smileys/79.gif
here is a !very! rough animation preview of what I have in mind with him. He is checking his instruments and the moment the gates above him starts to open he lifts his head up in reaction starring into the light (thats why his visor turns black).
He then gains his concentration back---> ready to race .... well...something like that..

Yeah, I am still struggeling to get the skinshader to look just right, its a very difficult task. I'll see what I can do to improve it.
Schaweeet!
That was brilliant, even though there's a lack of detail and the animation is rather rough!
I cannot even begin to imagine how mind blowing this is going to be when it's finished!
The pilot can be considered finished meanwhile, so I started to texture the hangar and its objects.
The scene brings my hardware to the absolute limit while rendering, I need to double my RAM from 2 to 4 GB to able to continue. I already had to buy a new Graphics card + 500GB storage to be able to cope with the expected 10000+ layers of uncompressed tiff files in 720p...
Anyway, here is the early hangar:

That hanger looks nice so far.
Yet again, this is superb stuff Tora. :clap
