    Building Spaceship Earth

    So, just to put things in relation, you might notice there is a lot of anger and disappointment speaking. If you've spent thousands of hours on something you have a great passion for, while you have to watch it get ripped apart, it's like a stab right into the heart. It's a shame, as i had a lot...

    Building Spaceship Earth

    Make up your own mind, take a look at WOL's official concept art and compare it to the video, it's just an indication. (and, of course, but looks like i have to even explain THAT, maybe have a look at the date of the video. And the concept is even older than the upload, but the date still...

    Building Spaceship Earth

    As once again private matters take their toll i actually wanted to close this Thread and reopen a new one, when things would be rolling again. However, i've just had a chance to study the new Masterplan for Epcot and at this point i will say: Hey WDI, you should pay the people who actually...

    Building Spaceship Earth

    It's not a question of "could use one", i'm afraid Without at least one external render node i won't be able to have my productivity on a workable level, once i begin to texture the heck out of the models. And as for VR (i promise there WILL be VR videos soon) something more dedicated would be...

    Building Spaceship Earth

    Some good news (for a change) Almost done with my texture/shading-workflow test. This is done on a slow computer with compromises on the rendering quality, so there's still headroom in the material quality, detail too fine for the renderer to properly display at these settings. I think i...

    Rest in peace, Marty Sklar! :( That's some really sad, shocking news. Don't even know what to say..

    Building Spaceship Earth

    Thanks so much @spacemt354 for keeping this thread alive! I didn't check on this in a while, didn't notice you posted the wipReel links, was just about to paste #7. Well i guess i should take the opportunity to give some updates: The project is not in full hiatus BUT damn close to it, i wish...

    Drones may be used in Disney Parks in the future.

    A solution to that problem could be a reactive gimbal system which corrects the angle and fixes it more precisely on it's target screen/object. Technically possible, though expensive to do, with a laser tagging system, precise & reliable servos and some cpu power on-board. (Plus the gimbal rig)

    Best Fast Prime Lens for Disney dark rides

    I used a set of different lenses for this video, an older EOS 5D mkII at max ISO on the ride itself (lower ISO in the well lit areas), with the tradeoff of noise, THOUGH, had to focus manually with a 1/1,4f and 1/2,8f respectively. With the 1/1,4f at max ISO and a post production restoration...

    Virtual reality ride solving the problem of simulating all 3D motion, high g-forces and zero-g.

    Hi, greetings from Germany, A virtual reality ride is not neccessarily a new invention, at this point i'm puzzled what you mean by that. However, I'm curious to know what exactly you're working on. If you're in the Netherlands that's not too far from where i live! :)

    Drones may be used in Disney Parks in the future.

    I guess this is what the drone rumour is all about. LED-lit nighttime synchronous patterns in the sky. That'll be interesting. (imagine, in a few years time, hundreds of tiny swarm drones to draw shapes into the night sky.)

    Building Spaceship Earth

    Thanks Voxel! :) And sorry! Didn't mean to make you wait, i just feel like that rabbit in Alice sometimes. So much to do, so little time. Thank you for the kind words! Even though i find little time for the project at the moment, i have no intention to stop. I am a bit more active on my...

    You can still see that? Those Sat pics haven't been updated in a while then.

    The Sole Imagineer Season 2: Redemption Island

    @RMichael21 It's not that i don't like these competitions, but would never find the time. I'm mostly stuck up in work, RL, music, or the Epcot model. Makes me an unreliable competitor, but i do think these competitions are great!

    Thanks so much, Voxel! I'll keep going until i finish the park's model and my conceptual draft, no matter what happens. Do you have experience with the Unity Engine?

    Hearing news of a monorail crash today.

    There's not much positive to read about the monorails in recent years :/ I feel obliged to brighten the mood a little: I don't know if this has been answered before but the front section is not as sturdy as it looks, most of the structurally important parts are at the monorail's...

    Building Spaceship Earth

    Well that came out wrong. I wasn't trying to say or suggest the idea got stolen, it's likely a coincidence. What i WAS saying is that i'm rather a bit too cautious instead of not being cautious enough. :) What you see in the pictures is roughly the level of detail the Epcot model will be at...
