    Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle. 4K in the 🧵! I hope everyone likes it!

    Okay, got the Wing Leader Hornet cockpit lit properly with all the damage and broken bits properly responding to the light angle. Now here's the question - should I do this for the rest of the cockpits? Is this worth it? I like it, I just dunno if it's that cool. :/

    Okay, folks! Tons of updates to this shot, more explosions, damaged ISD hull, better lighting from the blasts, more action, finalized rebel fleet layout, altered B-wing flight paths, and unique markings (Blade-1&2) for them! They take some fire and damage, as well. 4K in the 🧵

    ..Are you freaking serious? @viiolaceus's take on Fog of War in Wargroove is the best thing I've ever seen. ...It's just brilliant. Damn.

    Okay, folks - the re-renders and relighting and detail adds and everything are done. Here's the first 3 scenes all stitched together, with the 3rd still needing it's cockpit. I'm very happy with this, I dont think I'm going to change it unless its *really* important. 4K in the 🧵

    Okay, the new color correction is in, started the renders on the basement box over lunch. Here's the first 110 frames of the cockpit-shot back plate - just imagine the cockpit is going out of focus as the background fleet comes into focus. :D More in thread!

    Added red alert lights, better explosion timing, and better sparking to the hull damage to this shot. Now I'm in the middle of adding people running around and interior sparks as well! Enjoy. 😀 4K version in the 🧵!

    Oh, alright. I think I'm done tweaking this - I really need to move on to something else, for my own sanity. Tons of updates, to how the explosions look, to how the sparks animate, to some camera motion smoothing. I hope you all like it. 4K in the 🧵!

    Done, for now... Imperial fleet is in there, firing, maneuvering like I'd expect impact hits toned down, TIES have a more visible interior (Thanks, #Mandolarian!), And the post lens distortion is much more even. I'm moving onto something else! #starwars #cgi #wip #vray #3dsmax

    Whoo hooo! We've finally got a render with SFX and visuals that I'm pretty happy with! Got some additional ships coming, but man I love this so far.
