Fake a UFO

[jackblack]

Hey guy's I had a great idea, what if we had a challenge or somthing where we try to create the most realistic UFO photo. Good idea?

[SamAdam]

Most definitely fits in the contests forum.

[jackblack]

Wow! I must be clueless or somthin', never seen this forum. Thanks guys!

[ak]

This sounds like a good one. Are there any rules yet or is it still in the planning stage.

[Robin]

Do I have to a do a ship or can I do an alien?

If your alien fly, it will be ok ;)

[jackblack]

Yeah just straight up UFO animation stills, whatever, just try to make it more like the photoss of ufos instead of the compex, hollywood, sleek stuff.
:D

[jackblack]

Well here's one I made today. Anyone got any ideas on majing it better?

O No it's an invasion!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAA hide! get your weapons! To your battlestations! Code Red, I repeat Code Red!!! aaaargh!

[ak]

What kind of restrictions are there? Does just the UFO have to be done in Blender or the whole project? Is photoshopping allowd?

[Greg_pl]

Nice idea :)
Here's mine:

[jackblack]

The only restictions are you have to use Blender for the ufo. You can use any postpro as well.

[zoel]

Okay, so obviously I put about 15 minutes of effort into this, but that's about all the longer my attention span is.

Jack, that's amazing!

How do you guys get the ufo's t be behind the scenery??

(i know, its a dumb question)

Any tutorials on doing this with blender?

I think I know. He cut out pieces of the background image, made the things around those pieces transperent, uv mapped them to a plane and made it to turn at the camera

[artjunky]

That's probably a photoshop or gimp thing. It's called an alpha mask.

[Lojimek]

I know this contest is kinda old but I wanted to anyway.http://www.freewebs.com/lojimekworks/%28C%29%20UFO%20invasion.JPG
OOPS! Sorry guys I forgot I took off the images. Here it is. Sorry about the poor quality but that's for the sake of people who have dial-up.

[good_blender]

more crop circles? really nice work....

[frenzymedia]

Cool contest!
Here is something I made a little while ago, but I though it was appropriate for the challenge. I went for the retro UFO thing.

cheers::BC

[oldskoolPunk]

Im glad this thread got bumped I love this idea and I love lookin at all the different styles. I think I'm gonna try one, too. Nice work everyone.

[AnRk]

man you guys have some pretty complicated thoughts about cutting cg...check out the comping tute on weirdhat.com
it takes practice but its totally brilliant.
Robin, you can just make flat planes modeled in the basic shape of , say, some flowers, then turn on the ENV option. Make the picture tha background texture, and there its is(activate the paper option in the world buttons)
make sure the planes are in front of the model your cutting in(duh)

if you got that rushed tute, great...if not send me a message....

[pctopgs]

[mitchelhunt]

[tinker]

Here's one I did a while back.

[oldskoolPunk]

Well here is my first try. Simple but effective :)

[BenJaru]

blenditall, that's simply amazing! some of the most complex modeling on this forum!

[blenditall]

oh.. um, that's a photo... lol, I just added the little black smudge and shadow on the building as a joke (the UFO). Sorry I didn't mention that:o !
(But I do plan to do something that complex someday!)
Edit: In fact, you've given me an idea... I think I will try and model that. Will post soon.
