hey I'm actually in the process of making a ufo sighting here in P.E.I.
This is what I got so far..

Now the top is a bit bland, because, well, its not going to be seen

now, bottom pic was just quickly rendered with default settings in mental-ray.. what do you guys think?

Oh, man! I get to know about this beforehand! XD
Try to get it on the CBC when you're finished. Maybe Rick Mercer or 22 Minutes would do a segment on it or something. It looks good, now get some textures. And make sure you add in some water/plant displacement underneath it. :)

Looks good, though I think it seems too stereotypical looking. But it's your design not mine.

Well that's what people expect when they see UFO's

And how are you implementing this? are you overlaying this onto a video recording? or doing it with source? or making a whole scene in... 3ds? XSI? MAYA? Blender?...other modeling apps..

Interesting. And I agree you shouldn't forget to add some landscaping there at least some plants/trees.

Tetsu0, I'd expect he's going to add it to a bunch of photos from near where he lives. It is a hoax, not a modeling job.

Make an Independance Day-ish UFO and recreate that scene where the UFO's fly over big cities.

That would be cool.

yep, I'm going to render it out into a video, once in aftereffects the background (sky) becomes transparent, I'll then add real video footage of downtown charlottetown of the sky, I'll keep the video steady. I'll then import both vids into aftereffects and tie a 'wibble' to the camera to cause a random shake..
I'm hoping for a news story. :P

Or.... it'd be sweet if you videotaped a bird or something.. maybe a helicopter, and just tracked the UFO to that?

But seeing as how you already have an idea. Then go for it.
maybe we can me this thing VIRAL!

I hope it causes a big uproar, and all the news shows this side of Toronto talk about it. :)

If course, if anyone finds this thread, the entire video is dead, but still.

I've always wanted to do exactly this myself. The problem is that my modelling skills are still balls and i don't know shit about aftereffects, its too freakin hard.

yea, aftereffects is a fucked up program, I'm still not that good with it, but Im learning

Yeah thought about that but then realized that the ufo would be moving in the clouds weird, so, I thought of my way which should fix the problem..

As soon as it's released we should have a mod just delete the thread.

So how exactly would you match the angle of view of the video to make a proper render? I always wanted to know how to do that.
Posted 15 years ago2009-08-05 19:25:29 UTC Post #271572
going to use an old method called 'trial and error' :P Going to film it at 30 degrees though to capture the buildings a little, so I'll just adjust the render cam at about 30 degrees also tomorrow I'm going to fil downtown for it.

Wow, a leather UFO! I always thought they were made of some metal.

Aliens are gangsters, they use the finest Italian leathers on everything.

I must say that picture is pretty good on the surface, it will fool a bunch of the regular folks. But I am afraid it will not fool the hard core UFO buffs out there, especially the ones with "digital dissection" skills that will run the pictures or videos through specialized filters design to detect doctored pictures. But your efforts are still pretty damn good, I like your UFO picture.
Posted 15 years ago2009-08-06 10:40:32 UTC Post #271613
But until the UFO buffs get around to looking at it, people would probably think it's real.
Exept for those that don't beleive in alien life at all.

You mean except for those that aren't gullible idiots who think that aliens are actually floating around our atmosphere in giant frisbees.
