Also, your trailer is awesome!
Thanks, unfinished though and the planetary textures didn't render in full quality and I couldn't figure out why.
This is the first frame I rendered while I was working on project and it looked much, much better:
The planet actually consisted 3 spheres. One is the planet itself, one is a transparent sphere for cloud textures and shadows and another is gassy atmosphere which difuses the light around it. All spining in different directions to give it more realistic feel.If you want to make animations as above I'd recommend learning some 3D program, It would be way more convenient when making sketch animations. Textures and lightning/materials are very complex to learn and master, but simple modeling and animation isn't so you could make results quite quick and you could use the models later for the game as well.

Also here's my first Maya animation I did few years back and it was all exported as still images (frames) and rendered with Sony Vegas:
Wah, man, that's some pretty interesting stuff! I like it!
By the way, why is this forum so... empty? I mean, I know it's quite hard to make a topic about Machines, its developement, ect... but... wow, I think I need to post something. Thing is...
...what?yay.gorilla < don't forget about my signature lawl

busy :( -

Our development issues...

Busy for the time being (and the following weeks).
Just wanted to say that I couldn't fix the frame rate and the pink squares in MACHINES. -
-
Prototype testing.

Sneek preview of Homeworld: Shipbreakers (possible benchmark?):

When I was at Unite 2015, two of the devs of shipbreakers had a talk about their procedural camera system for Unity. It was actually interesting stuff.They uploaded the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNR9Nvjsv9Y

What!? You were there!? Awesome!!! Yes, I saw the entire presentation yesterday! What a small world. I realized that their visualizations were just like the ones I did in my sketchbook (the ones representing the camera). How was it? Did you find other things that we could use? -
Yup! Proof: Random unity stuff! :O
The presentations were actually pretty cool, and there was a lot of stuff on augmented and virtual reality. One thing I'd really like to do is a sort of augmented reality game with machines using this thing they gave us at unite:
It's a project tango dev kit. More on that here.

@bilal
This is very interesting! I'm currently a bit bussy, but I would like to discuss about this as soon as I can! -
@bilal
The procedural cinematography seems to be promising. It would improve the gaming experience even more if applied to the switching between the different cameras. -
@Pisarz
It actually is very cool. They'll be releasing their tool on the Asset Store if I remember correctly.On another note, the game is available for preorder now, but they renamed it "Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak." (want)

Could it be used?
I also found this:

@Pisarz
Well, I'm not sure when it would come out, and we'd have to re-write it in C++ to use it in UE4 lol. UE4 has a matinee system anyway though.As for World Machine, we probably can just stick with the UE4 terrain editor for now. If we were using Unity's terrain system, it would be a different story. (Sorry Unity :( )
