Latest CG project : Xeelee Nightfighter

Well I did promise to use this old blogamajig to inform the world of my CG creations, and finally I've finished one. It's a Xeelee Nightfighter based on the novels of Stephen Baxter.

Nightfighter's primary motive power comes from unfurling wings of folded spacetime. I think that's Baxterian code for "their own immense coolness, bitches." I decided to animate this procedure, which you may view in full glorious HD thanks to YouTube :



More to come...

    I quite liked the pictures and the film. Yes, you do have some intermittent viewers! A longer version of the film would be nice, maybe some landing sequences, use of onboard weaponry or some such. Loved the HD.

    Wooo, a comment ! Awesomness. I don't know about more animations, but I'm working (slowly) on a more dramatic scene for it. http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=204000

    Nice one. Good to see someone making this stuff. Anyone care to make Baxter's story "Blue Shift"into a movie? That would be most resplendent
