Wow, great job dan1701a! Thanks for the mention but there's no guarantee that my tutorial will work for C4D.

That looks great! I can't wait to see her textured.

Hi very nice work on the tutorial. Could you explain how you did the red/orange effects on the engines?

Well, it is a combination of things that I found through trial and error in TrueSpace. I animate the lights via textures. Then I animated the effect of the "vanes". This allowed me to use either my texture lights or actual lights with flares. Inside TrueSpace, if you put an object, no matter how thin, in front of a light source in TrueSpace ... no matter how large ... the light disappears. Not so with a texture. Finally, I animated all the flashes and spillage for the domes along with the "salmon" color of the domes.

Then I throw a VERY bright light on the dome itself and I get a marvelous bloom effect that highlights my animated textures.

Does that help?

I get the Idea but not really how I could reproduce it in c4d

I am so nooby in texturing :| Thx for the explanation but one of you explain how its done in c4d?

after 5 hours I came up with this

. Not exactly what I wanted but since it is only a comic animation this should do

Nice effect!

Dan,

I have to hand it to you. Your model looks fantastic. What version of C4D are you using, 9.7 or 10? I now have 10 and I am stalled in that I have to get a real job to supplement my school. I will be back, but I wish you would show us your technique for FFD on the B-C Deck. I tried it in 9 and I got a nice result, albeit crude.

Anyway, I will keep you all posted on my progress.

Steve
