jim c Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 The idea for this came from the X-Files. That and some of the crazy Area 51 stories by Bob Lazar. Any ideas for making this look slicker would be much appreciated! This baby is powered by a gravity wave drive (naturally), that's the big sphere-like shape on the underside. The holes in the under side will all have spots. I'd like to make some sort of black matte like material for it, sort of like the F-117, any ideas how best to do that?

This baby is powered by a gravity wave drive (naturally), that's the big sphere-like shape on the underside. Maybe you should add big cabin on top. Something like this BTW: Watch this. .It's working version from polish film from 1985 called "Voyages of Mr. Blot: Island of Inventors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHoUzEFql8&feature=related Cheers Edited November 11, 2009 by SWANN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hardy har har Yeah it occurred to me last night that the bottom is starting to look a bit like an iron. I think I need to take some of the holes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO-oo- Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The iron in the old german sci fi "Raumpatrouille Orion" is famous! Look careful time 0:06, 1:55 and 2:43 for the iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well now that everyone has corrupted my poor foo-fighter into a ridiculous flying iron, here's some further details work that might help mitigate this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Finally a crude attempt at compositing, using Houdini's compositor. Not very good, but thought I'd throw it up here anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
