lsgl: final beacon design
by sven at 11:59 pm
Finally finished the intergalactic distress beacon model tonight. It's about 95% of what I was hoping for -- which is pretty darned good!
I've also created the "aurora borealis" effect that will initially appear on the viewscreen. At this point, I'm still having trouble getting it to composit correctly. The image is turning out too dim.
Here's the "aurora borealis" effect that I'll be using in the film.
(Note that compression for web-viewing dumbs down The Pretty a fair deal.)

Thanks so much for sticking with me!
I find a lot of the work in LightWave pretty grueling... Words of encouragement help. :-)
