upload all the c4d files you are working on to "_models" or folders, and separate by "v.1", "v.2" etc. if you have new versions in the future. I will keep this place in sync with my hard drive and we can sync stuff up when we need to. And upload test renders and other example c4d files to "misc" and "images."

Space Invader Moving Test II

mario land - land

plant-moving

Asteroid explosion, no sound

3 out of the 4 games

Space Invaders made by Neave Games

Asteroids made by Neave Games

Pac-Man made by Neave Games

Asteroids

So Jason, the asteroid field can be animated by grouping the light to the camera and letting the asteroids come towards the camera using the emitter. to show the vastness of the asteroids world, setting the light with a fall off adds depth. Tell me what you guys think. Also, I need to look into thinking particles so they can collide with each other.

Space Inavader Moving Test

the timing on this is every ten frames, which would be a faster invader.

i also contacted oktobor, this is the link http://www.oktobor.com/#/work/tiger_beer_-_london/
the creative director responded with the technique used to build and animate the blocks. i was thinking of modifying it to build the big invaders.

"Hey there James.....
Patrick has passed on to me your details regards a couple of questions that you had for us around the Tiger Beer London spot...I will do my best to answer them for you....

We used 3dsMax to create these spots with Brazil as the renderer...
We used Particle Flow to control the brick animation.....
We used custom controllers that were scripted within the Particle Tools Box 3 software....
The actual animation of the bricks themselves was very simple....they rotated around by 180 degrees from front to back, they scale from zero to 100% over 2-3 frames and they move up in the z axis over 5-20 frames as well......
If you have any more specific questions, please drop me a line....
Thanks
Damon

Invader Blast

timing is funky, but I think the idea is there.

my laptop and my external hardrive crashed

I can't really work on anything right now, I'm going to go home so I can try to save it my files =/

Space Invader Models

I am testing out some animation with the missiles and the invaders "exploding". I will post some of the test renders later.
