Bellflower is a Serenity Fanfilm. I build and textured the ship for it. I am working my way through the many bits and and textures, converting it for OctaneRender (I'm using the LW plugin.

This is the star drive (View the vidio in HD) A lot more to do.

Each frame took between 40-50 seconds to render at full HD.

Nice texturing. You tried the "dDo" tool (http://quixel.se/ddo/) for getting a basic texture set fast?

Cheers. Never heard of it. Had a look, but not clear what it's doing.

More work done.

Think I'm finished. Not certain about the egine cowls, but...

Problem I have now is it's on the very limits of what my 2Gig GTX680 will render :(. Can't even manage to render with an HDR Environment.

Tried a few different angles, then playing with glare :)

Will work out what I can do to optimise the textures, and then see if I can render with HDR and composite into a background.

OK, finished her up (apart from the fact that I don't have a right engine texture). Also, did the shuttle. A couple of shots...,

Best watched at 1080p. This 900 frame animation, repeated, rendered in 10 seconds per frame. Fast as...

Why thanks you sir. I'm still planning to put this in a nice environment. Just got sucked into some commercial work first. :)
