Space Station Challenge 2021 WIP – Energize

A short animation test of the rocket-to-space-station docking sequence here.

The scene now has a flying saucer (WIP):

Yeah a donut !

The flying saucer has got engines:

… and an hangar:

A propos modeling donuts: I’ve just seen here how it can go horribly wrong 😉😁.

A pilot has boarded his flying saucer:

The tutorials by Imphenzia proved to be very useful for the creation of the low-poly character above:

1) Easy Low Poly Character Modeling in Blender 2.9x

2) Rig a Low Poly Character in Blender 2.9x

3) Let’s MODEL and RIG a Pirate in 10 MINUTES in Blender 2.82 – ep. 11

I just noticed that there’s a limitation in EEVEE with lights inside a volumetric shader object shining through solid objects within that environment. See here. This can be solved with procedural textures shaping the volume or using the “Light Threshold” in the “Shadows” panel of the “Render” tab:

1) Light Threshold = 0

2) Light Threshold = 0.03

Okay, 23 hours left until challenge deadline. Hopefully, this will be enough for some animations 😉 …

23:59 US CST – 15 hours to go

The pilot could be animated:

Excellent , a happy pilot in his donut.

Thank you, @adrian2301 🙂! Hopefully, the pilot won’t get hungry during the flight and starts biting into his flight vehicle 😉😁!
