No, these were manually randomized. I do recall making a way to get a random value to set once and stick in a chor. That could potentially be used to drive the building heights but would be too random for this scene where I wanted to have taller in back and shorter in front.

There are really two light sources. The AO is set to 50% intensity and the sunlight ("Key") is set to 75%

Nice. Does this mean you figured out how to do the random values confined to patterned areas?

What sort of Ambiance Occlusion are you using in that scene?

Simple grids added for window details.

Looks cool...!

Cubes randomly scaled, Fog, and AO.

Thank you for isolating what the problems was! Much appreciated! Tom

Fall-Off in VolumetricLight change to 900

Hello Hashers- In the beginning of the sequence the volumetric beam reaches all the way to the ground plane but as the project continues (frames 30-60) the beam breaks up and doesn't reach the ground. Can anyone figure the problem? VolumetricTest.prj

I was surprised they made a remake in 2000. All characters were changed into video personalities. The movies were exciting and well tight on script. That's what I tried to explain in my insight about the tv serie and the new movie. For some reason the original is so inhibited in my imagination I was realy stunned by the video's. They go much faster and are more placed into this time SF experience. I was impressed by a BBC print thay made in that time I chose to make a look_a_like.

I wasn't too keen on the live-action one they did in 2004. I think a lot of the charm of the show came from the miniatures and the puppets. I haven't had a chance to watch the newer animated series, but I remember they remade Captain Scarlett in a similar style in the early 2000s and that was well done.

Yeh, you're right. My mistake. I assumed that his name was James. As a kid I had two models, two and three. I was anxious to have the first one too but they were sold out. It had a little motor in it so it could ride on batteries. Yes, I'm still fond of them, although I don't have them anymore. Reason why I can't resist to this "guilty pleasure". What do you think of the modern version of the Thunderbirds video?

Some new models I made lately. For some reason this fidling with game options keep me facinating.

I'm not realy sure. I once made a "sprite" for the game Quake. I searched on internet for a good looking skyligntning. Once I had it I spend houres on redrawing the UV's and alpha's and it had become a good looking result. Later when this AI question came to order I saw some results with exact that skyligtning. The impression was quiet a shock to me, as it cried : "No, that's mine skylightning!" Then the rare awareness that it was the photographer's source and not my property. From then I have a strange unballancing feeling when it comes to ownership, or licenses. 🤨

looking at stuff on old AMcd found this animation and rendered it meows.avi

Looks like they over expanded and "Disney+" wasn't enough of a audience for the expanded output. I bet Disney+ gets sold off to Netflix or just closed in a few years. Too many streamers out there for the market. On the bright side, all the newly-unemployed can put "former Pixar" on their résumé. That will get attention.
