that'S a sweet animation.

My best wishes that you might still find them.

So I've started reworking the opening "Secret Report Within The Guild" section...
The old one was kinda crap... the paintings look like paintings rather than actual planets... especially that zoom in to the planet Kaitain...
Here's the original line up...


Then here are my new "concept" versions... these are done in photoshop and I'm currently working to try and recreate them in 3D in Lightwave to give them some much needed "depth"

Arrakis (Haven't yet finished the texture map for this one - it's based on Herbert's map in the book)


Caladan


Geidi Prime (Still wrestling with this one... not sure about the nebula. The old one looked uninhabitable.)


and then Kaitain which I've posted before...


I have the animation all set up, I just have to make the planets look good enough and make sure the animation is timed to the existing audio from the movie.
Anyone got any hints for modeling/animating/lighting/rendering planets in 3D so they look great?

I really like the planets Arrakis and Geidi Prime, I think you have got the nebula just right, great job

The nebula might be right, but the planet itself does not look sinister enough... Not evil enough.

So I've been tinkering away on the planets for a while and here is a short youtube version of the animation (My apologies as the sound was all jacked up by YouTube and you can't even see the stars). Will try and post a better version asap as well as some of the high res images...
In the meanwhile, swiych your YouTube to WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY and enjoy...

OK, here it is again but WITH sound (instead of static!)
Don't forget to watch with the HIGH QUALITY tag on - you can actually see the stars then!
