Thank you Peter!

Yann, great job with the animation, looks amazing for you just "trying" some animation. Very cool!

Yann Sauvage October 02, 2009 23:57 Flag

So, I've tried to make an animation, it's in the main post.
Making animations is fun, but it takes a lot of time...
I prefer base modeling and concept searching.
:)

Yann Sauvage September 30, 2009 13:06 Flag

Thanks a lot!
I'll try it now.

Peter Vesterbacka September 30, 2009 11:31 Flag

As Kris says, try Blender. We are also working on the Open Rendering Environment (ORE) and that is supporting Blender as well. http://renderfarm.fi has a bit more info on that one.

Yann, I'm not an expert on 3D so I don't know if this is good enough, but a lot of people on here seem to recommend Blender. It's free so there's no harm in at least trying it:

Yann Sauvage September 30, 2009 04:06 Flag

I'd like too!
But i'm using a free modeler "Wings 3D" and it does not support animations.
If you know a good free renderer which can uses particles and atmospherics systems, please, gimme the link!
Software licenses are too expensive for me. :(

Peter Vesterbacka September 29, 2009 20:26 Flag

Would be really cool to get those things animated.

It is near of the actual US space shuttle concept.
During the launching sequence the shuttle is just linked to the main rocket / boosters without any shield or protections.
It's just an aerodynamic and mechanical constraints challenge.
So, as you said, we could imagine a large rocket nose wich protect the carrier too. ;)

Yann - I wonder if the rocket - which obviously will break up into a multi-functional pod as well might not destroy the 'space ships' at the nose upon traveling as thousands of miles an hour?

Perhaps the space ships might be housed so as not to put undue strain on their moorings?

I don't think it matters whether this is 100% realistic, the important thing is that it's plausible enough to appear in the film.

Yann Sauvage September 27, 2009 16:47 Flag

Thank you!
I've added a pic of the ship in pre-launching status.
It's more clear than long explanations and my english is too bad for that!

Jack Malinowski September 27, 2009 15:28 Flag

totally realistic concept of a functional, though overly specialized, bridging device... (regrarding oskar's insightful comment)

this is exactly the kind of projects that money burning pseudo - military committees churn out - until their all destroyed in the opening stages of the war...

great shot.

Yann Sauvage September 27, 2009 10:21 Flag

Thanks for your comments. :)
It's a launcher which could do only one task: Carrying shuttles from ground to space, like a rocket with satellites.
It can't really do maneuvers.
We can imagine it on the top of a big rocket when launching.
Aeroflot power! ;)

Oskar Lönnberg September 27, 2009 07:01 Flag

Great concept. Like how the fighters are attached to the mother ship. The only thing I was wondering was how the mother ship make sharp turns when all the rocket engines are at the end.

Peter Vesterbacka September 26, 2009 20:10 Flag

Very cool! Like the Aeroflot in there;-)

(null) September 26, 2009 19:17 Flag

LOL, didn't notice that.

Dario Odobasich September 26, 2009 19:12 Flag

Ha ha...Aeroflot :-)
