Real Ghostbusters CGI Intro recreation....

[Shredder565]

winston is the first of the guys to be finalized.

[Shredder565]

10 shots remain to rough

[Shredder565]

basic elements coming together.

[Shredder565]

A FEW slimer changes..
he's now all shape animated rather than skeleton animated. a little more freedom

[Shredder565]

I'm really happy with how Slimer, the Firehouse, Ecto, the no ghost, the pack and traps, Winston and staypuft turned out. they look pretty darn close to their cartoon counterparts. Now, if I can JUST get Peter, Ray, Egon and Janine looking right it might look halfway decent.

[Shredder565]

i would say three down, including slimer, and three to go.

[Shredder565]

if i could just refine it it might look good.
the streams are going to need to be ray traced but will be the toughest to get right

[Shredder565]

Effects still need figuring out.
Janaine and Egon still need fixing.

8 monsters at end still need to be done.
6 or so scenes left to rough out.

hoping to get most of them done tomorrow so i can concentrate on models and effects.
but over all i rather like it.

[Shredder565]

a few more minor updates.

Egon still needs MAJOR work. I think the other three, slimer and everything else minus janine is a final.

the intro is about 60% done and will try and make the next update the last update.

just a simple matter of getting two characters to look better, 8 ghost designs, one effects shot, and some refining .

[Shredder565]

three days of mind numbing multi layered work coming to a close.
ray tracing 40 frames of animation may look better than after effects but a damn pain in te wrist.

[Shredder565]

four days later, the money shot is just about done. still needs some finishing up but all the major work is done. i think i can still see straight but barely

[Shredder565]

toying around with doing this as a grand finale

[Shredder565]

4 more monsters to go

[Shredder565]

only janine remains to finalize.

[Shredder565]

just because a sucker for torture, here is another comparison...

all his really is is more realistic looking textures imho. some of the models are really off just like mine are

[Shredder565]

why are women so much harder to get right?

a little better.. i think.
