wipEout-- adrenalin rush

[Zerow]

Here's hoping this is finished at the end of the year, t'would make a very fine Christmas present!

[Tora_2097]

Just a veeeery small glimpse of what is to come, here is a 10sec rendered piece of Daniel Chang in his ship. I loaded a preview of this scene up a few months ago, but this it is rendered in full HD 720p glory.
Things that are still missing: Motion blur, Depth of field, quality anti aliasing, the correct background + a few minor modeling and texturing details and of course sound.

one word:

SWEET

keep going!

[Tora_2097]

Thanks eLhabib, although character animation is my weakest point, I am quite satisfied with this result.
I started animating the hangar yesterday, lots of things to consider, I need a good timing and pace for all the objects.
Keep you updated,

Tora_2097

[eLhabib]

Happy Birthday, Tora, and as a present you give to us some new screens of your progress!

...oh, wait, I think I messed something up here, YOU are supposed to receive presents

[Sausehuhn]

Jou, Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

(don't have to translate that, right?)


But I like Martins idea of giving us new images as you have birthday

...So celebrate the day. Hope you've got as good weather as we have here in North Rhine-Westphalia

[Tora_2097]

Wow, thats really nice friends!

I unfortunately don't have any new things modeled or textured, I have just rigged and animated a few things in the hangar- mainly the lifting platform.
I will start working again on this animation in october when I am done moving to Berlin, started my new job etc. All that distracts me too much atm.

Stay tuned,

Hi guys,

just wanted to tell you that I now live and work in Berlin and started to work on my animation again. I added better and more hard- and software to speed up my work too.
expect new WIP's soon.

regards,

Tora_2097

[eLhabib]

that's great news! hope you like living in Berlin!

[Sausehuhn]

Great man!
As eL said I hope you like your new home.

I'm already happy about the new renders

[Zerow]

Good to hear from you again Tora.

Looking forward to seeing some more development!

[Tora_2097]

Yes, it took me a few months but I am back on track! Berlin is great and my new job is great as well. Everything is settled for now , so I came back to my wipeout project with fresh inspiration and energy.
I started on the exterior and track layout, below is a link to my first thoughts about it. needs an enormous amount of work still, but I can see the end of the road on the horizon.

oh man, this thing is soo cool, that any frame from your layout could be a wallpaper, for sure. can't wait for the final results as well, this thing is going to be tha bomb!

[Sausehuhn]

yeha! You're back on the track, mate
That stuff is already awesome, really, it already is!!

This project is going better and better with every new screen you put here.

Maybe you don't need any idea cause you already have enough, but I'll give them anyway:
Add more small things on the ground later. Maybe some small buildings, maybe even some grass/trees (the future should go back to the nature ) but also some industrial stuff. And a lot of billboards and things like that (just browse the thread, there are a few links posted).

And I'm glad you like your new home

[jospicy]

need any more be said that is very very nice
keep it up i can't wait to see the finished thing

jospicy

[Zerow]

Woo! The exterior looks great already! Once it has some more detail, it'll look awesome.

[qirex-rd]

Back to work.
here is Qirex [R&D]. Feisar will be finished soon.


Qirex

All WipEout engineers in the world are thanking you every moment in their life.
Your work cant be appreciated enough. For real! I dont know how to show
you my respect. But this needs to be finished:
I dont like the orange cockpit of the qirex ship. Please alter the
color into dusty wine-red or something in that direction. (Ok, who am I
to demand something like that, but I have to)
10 years ago I dreamed of a WipEout cinema movie, but your movie
is the thing Ive been waiting for. Shakespeare would say, that Ive
only written words, but I hope you understand.
with kind regards,
qirex research & development

Any recent word on the status of this project?

[WizzyWig]

Dunno but those screenies look rad.

Anyone in contact with Tora 2097? I'd love to see this amazing project getting somewhere but it seems like he's abandoned it. I sent him a pm but no reply.
