Two beautiful Galaxy-Class shots:

the 1st pic looks good with the motion blur effect.
2ed just seems to be a distraction

i say both are awesome!

And now probably the coolest animation I have ever done, even though its pretty short.

what ship was that spinning

That would be an original design by the brilliant DJ Curtis, the Valiant Class USS Valiant.

thaanks, btw a few questions, do u do all the animation in 3-d max??

if so how do u get the backgrounds and stuff,

i only started playing with it a bout a month ago, i got 3d max 9 and deleted it when i realised i cudnt exprot to after effects

but yer also ive seen pro movies and tv shows who have worse graphics and space videos than ures

Yes, I do all my animation in 3ds Max. Occasionally I use After FX to do some post-work, such as adding effects like lens flares and camera shake to videos and such. You cant directly import anything like meshes (3d models) or scenes that are in Max directly into After FX, but you can import movies that you render (.AVI files, for example) into After FX to do some effects editing.

As for backgrounds, basically what I usually do is I use an adjusted noise map (set usually with Noise Size 0.2, High 0.8, Low 0.7) as my stars, and in my box next to the black color square in the material editor, I create another noise map with one color set to black and the other to a color of my choosing, then I add lights into my 3d scene to give it that extra touch.

Theres a whole bunch of tutorials here, from 3d modeling to effects and such: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/3DS-MAX/1

haha wow, im learning after effects, please go to www.videocopilot.net

i have a collection of all the stuff for sale ont here, including the pro sounds the actions essentials (smoke gun fire glass shattering etc) and the advanced lens flares.. so as u can imagine i have alot to work withjust not enough skill atm, thats why i constructed studio fourward with 3 other mates,

Hey! I go to Video Copilot for Andrew Kramer's tutorials in After FX all the time! Hes awesome!

ive watched his tuts from the content that costs, there pretty decent, hes pretty cheesy, but god damn he knows what hes talking about, he is really skilled at after effects, the only problem is his american accent lol

A new test of my animation skills.

looking good

Nice phasers

If you think that's cool, just wait until you see the shield effect Im going to upload later tonight.
