Survey Holo Table Textured

Here is the Surveying Holo Table with some textures added. Textures are preliminary (I haven't designed the final output yet.) I added a version with no lights at all to show the tables self-illumination.

 

Survey Holographic Table

Hugo needed a survey holographic table for mapping out areas on a planet's surface that also doubled as a regular meeting table or utility table when not in use for surveying.

Environmental Tests

Playing with Vue Xstream (software for creating environments), trying to pin down the look for the moon that the Wutes live on.

To Come: New Equipment and Software

Looking forward to getting some more equipment and software to help with the production in the next couple of months. One piece of equipment I'd like to purchase is a new input/painting device: the Wacom Cintiq 24HD tablet. It's a tablet/screen that you can draw directly on, removing the distance betweent the use and his work. The software I'd like to purchase is Maxon's BodyPaint software. This software will allow the painting of 3D objects in a manner that will give more control than ZBrush's pixel painting. Hopefully in the next couple of months I'll be able to show more progress on the production work on the Vast Space project.

Small Exhaust Test

To take my mind off of events, I decided to test how the rocket engine exhaust from the Spartan-Flower might look. Haven't done a lot of particle tests in the past, but was interested in how easy or difficult it might be to simulate a launch.

 

 

 

There's still a lot of test to do and this is the first of many. I still need to play with collisions and other particles, but I think I'm beginning to get a feel for it.

My Sad News

I have been very grief-stricken, busy and lost beyond all lbelief from incredibly heart-rending news these past few weeks so I could not work or post regularly.

My beloved wife, Susan, passed away from this mortal plane on September 13th @11am. The love I had for my wife, my best friend, is practically indescribable. I miss her very, very much and I am saddened for those who knew her because they knew she was a very special person.

My best friend and the love of my life is gone and I am feeling so lost. I miss my Susan.

Thank you everyone for your warm thoughts and prayers.

Love, Reggie
