The moon bump looks a bit to much. maybe try and add a displacement map

i Like the lightning though, maybe increase render resolution to show it better


Looks good so far

I aggree. I'd like to see a bit more detail.

errr... how can i increase the render resolution?

is it at the render options? frankly saying don't know how..

maybe you can teach me how to apply vray on it to make it more real

Not sure what you mean by a flat meteor, but here's a simple roundish one:

Sorry but somehow that was extremely funny....

You can higher the resolution by rendering at a bigger output, 800x600 is the standard i use for test rendering. I'd like to see your moon mesh from a better angle

Looking foward to your animation!

Take your time, dont overrush things, and the most important thing of all things, in my opinion, is that you learn to do things over and over, not much at the same time!

its reso is 1024 x 720

you mean reduce it to 800x600?

Give it all a bit more detail When rendering at higher resolutions , what you are already doing shows up, you might want to add more detail to the objects seen in your scene

---

pardon me.. i don't understand what you mean.. can't hardly understand english

you mean I do capture to a closer look?

The bump looks fine. not sure what your worried about really. just lower the bump amount or find a better moon map. heres quite a nice one.

[Link to www.geocities.com]

or theres a nice big elevation map here: [Link to www.buining.com]

use the one for the moon called "digital elevation map" in the bump or maybe even displacement.... although displacement may be getting a bit too advanced I guess.

---

thx.. but i mean about flat meteor effect.. like a disk rotating around the earth with a meteor effect that has sorta tail behind it...


sorry its hard to xplain

Hmm, not really sure what you mean. Can you post a picture? Even a sketch or something?

Do you mean an asteroid field?

---

I can't imagine what a flat meteor would look like mate, but, maybe you could try and create a meteor using a sphere and some particles and then link them to a spline circle with a path constraint. heres a tut that covers some of that process.

thx.. but sad to say don't even know how to apply it to path.. but imma try to discover it on my own

**spoiler**

Toolbar -> Animantion -> Constraints -> Path Constraint

then just pick the spline which you want it to follow. Set the percentage with your key frames to define at what point you want it to reach the end of the path

osiris

im tried using the constraints and i got it.. but i got a problem I wanted to have some sorta like a train effect on the text following the path

check what i made...

"To forgive a woman's lie is a man's duty!!"

so do you want it so that it always faces outwards sorta thing? and were you wanting it curved to fit the path aswell?

---

~=~ Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried pushing a revolving door ~=~

fit the path and sorta follow the path like a train thing..

ok, well to get its orientation correct in the path constraint there is a tick box "Follow"(i think) tick that, and it will follow the orientation.

As to getting it curve around - apply a bend modifier to the text. I did a quick scene, and I had to rotate the bend gizmo 90' downwards to get it bending the right way.

ok... i will try this at home.. then check if this is what I mean.. thx

On a coincidence whilst browsing, just came across this tutorial:
[Link to www.flashkit.com]

which should show you what you need to do. However Im sure you can do it without looking
