Blender 2.9 - Battle of Coruscant (WIP 1)

[@ninjanate4112]

add more movement on the droid, it adds a lot to aesthetic

[@HobbitVFX]

Good idea

[@TelcomTransmissions]

Having the fighters emerge from the shadows like that is a great way to introduce them! I see a possible Rogue One influence there.. It’s perfectly timed to the music too!! Excellent work!!! 👍

[@HobbitVFX]

Didn’t actually do it with rogue one in mind, but it does seem similar tho, good spot

[@truekc7605]

I am very happy I have wandered across this channel because it has great potential and it is amazing to see my favourite movie franchise in higher quality

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks a lot!

[@captainryutaro1866]

I really enjoy watching the progress of this scene. Great work. I'm working on a Venator model but it's the TCW one but it's Venator all the same, I'll continue to watch your vids so keep me entertained

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks alot! good luck with your project!

[@bytphotography742]

The sound mixing really brings this to life

[@Lukes3D]

Are you serious I just spent weeks modeling a Venator from a much less detailed model from turbosquid. Didnt know this free one existed.

[@HobbitVFX]

its an amazing model

[@blenderzone5446]

So GREAT work!!! Love it!

[@deaglanmcaloran623]

That timed explosion was epic!

[@Productionbrikfilm]

Wow cook i alwais loved this music. Its such a good way to start the movie. The cg is great!

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks!

[@leted9332]

Great models, superb effects, and an eye for perspective? We will watch your career with great interest.

[@ryananderson5340]

Looks incredible, well done!

[@nathaniellazo5912]

It is becoming more impressive... most impressive.

[@Centreus]

This is epic, nice to see some people shedding some light on the prequels. Thanks for inspiring me, I'm gonna drop my own star destroyer video sometime soon

[@HobbitVFX]

prequal models arent as easy to find as OT, but there enough to make some nice animations for us prequel lovers

[@Worldwidegam3r]

This is really awesome. I did prefer the planet background from the previous blockade video though. I think there is a lot that could be gained from making your own space battle rather than rehashing the battle of coruscant.

[@HobbitVFX]

Yeah I’m going to doing more with the other version

[@TheOrderOfDanos]

This is where the fun begins.

[@HobbitVFX]

oh this is going to be easy

[@lampssin4593]

rlly cool, continue working on this and it'll be a masterpiece

That explosion sounded so good

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks!

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

Oooh, can't wait to see how this looks when it's done! I have a high def coruscant texture if you need it

[@HobbitVFX]

yes please

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

@@HobbitVFX Hey man sorry for the late reply. Do you still need the texture? How should I get it to you?

[@HobbitVFX]

@@MichaelCasanovaMusic Its all good, I managed to find a good coruscant texture, used in this render www.artstation.com/artwork/mDl3Aa

Damn son this is very cool, make the full please.

[@blendtonic]

you can submit this to this week’s pwnisher weekly challenge! this week’s theme is star wars so it’s perfect!

[@HobbitVFX]

I’ll check it out

[@malteullrich8813]

Very very good Job! I love the sound. I’ve finished the first version of the Venator over a year ago, but just noticed now, that I forgot to assign the window shader to the 6 windows in the center, looking onto the big hangar :/

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks, took me a bit to notice these windows u were talking about, looks like someone forgot to open the blinds lol

[@theanimatedcat]

Nice Are you gonna make like a full version of it?

[@HobbitVFX]

possibly

[@edgevfx]

tutorial on explosion? It looked great!

[@HobbitVFX]

I did the explosion in houdini, using the GPU explosion node, which is an extremely simple way to make explosions

[@pato1368]

so good

[@PraxisVisuals]

Not bad. I would say adjust the glow of some of the engines (they look a little too big for the distance they're at) and maybe make the ships and camera movement a little more interesting (yeah I know its a wip, but just for the next stage!) Good work! Keep at it!

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@corylikesstarwars1409]

I'm a massive fan (I'm swahsoka BC I ♥️ your creations so I made a new channel)

[@HobbitVFX]

Lol thanks

[@Tierium]

Try make separatist ship in background shoot the venator and add a background battle

Now I whant to see wher this is going :D.

[@HobbitVFX]

I have no idea lol

[@soju506]

Looks great! Where did you find models for the CIS ships? I’ve been looking to make a clone wars era scene for a while now and I haven’t been able to find good ones.

Think it was Battlefront 2 assets

@@HobbitVFX thanks

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

How were you able to add the windows lights for the Providence-class Dreadnought?

[@HobbitVFX]

From what I remember there were already separate window textures which just had to have emission increased on it

[@jltrain-zgamingrailfan202x3]

@@HobbitVFX So I've been doing a lot of looking in Frosty Editor to look for the CIS Dreadnaught's window texture but so far I haven't found it. Not even from: Gameplay > Vehicles > Capital > ProvidenceClassDreadnaught. No luck...

[@cjhornby1]

Can you do one where there's a fleet of star destroyers going against the Mon calamari capital ships please and maybe put Darth Vader with 3 ties behind him coming in....that would just be awesome and cool

[@HobbitVFX]

Cool idea, but i I think going to focus on the clone wars era, as there is plenty of people doing the OT era

Mmnnn true

[@bushbushchickhon]

I tried to make such a thing as well, I have all the assets and experience I need, except for RAM xD

[@HobbitVFX]

I can do all this on 8Gb of Vram from a rtx 2070, doubt u got less than that

[@lenircotia]

Fantastic animation work!!! By the way, from where did you get the opening soundtrack of Revenge of t. S? I am looking for a it with the drums but I cannot find it anywhere in a good quality and not pulled out of the movie. Thank you!

[@HobbitVFX]

It was from KZbin I think - under the title ‘battle over Coruscant soundtrack’

[@lenircotia]

@@HobbitVFX thank you very much for your reply. It is much appreciated!

[@JetstreakInk]

Are these done in cycles? The engine glows form afar look so good!

[@HobbitVFX]

Yeah it was done in cycle, but the engine glow on the separatist ship in the back was done in after effects

[@-saca-1297]

Do you model all of these yourself?

[@HobbitVFX]

No I downloaded them all

[@ThomasMusings]

Way epic!

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks!

[@goodguycannoli9538]

Hey man, first off phenomenal work! Looks incredible! Quick question however, what model of Venator did you use? Whever I try loading in the 2k or obj model into blender, my entire system crashes. I have a pretty good setup, but it might not be "good enough". I'm very new to this sort of thing.

[@HobbitVFX]

Thanks! What are your pc specs?

[@goodguycannoli9538]

Ryzen 7 2700x 8 core processer ASUS b-350f Motherboard 16 gb ram 250 gb ssd (Which blender is on) I'm pretty sure that's everything that matters

[@HobbitVFX]

@@goodguycannoli9538 i does take me a while to load in the obj, but it does manage in the end (I have similar specs), can u not use the blend file that comes with the download?

[@goodguycannoli9538]

I can open the blend file, when I do, it then opens blender and stats loading, but it then freezes and then tells me "blender has stopped responding" before basically freezing my system. This was the 2k model.

[@HobbitVFX]

u dont need to use the 2k version as the 1k is more than enough quality, and how long r u waiting for blender to respond? id suggest leaving it like 10 mins, it says not responding with mine, but it eventually loads in
