[Loru]

I'm stunned and I don't know what to say....

...sky full of people...

Amazing

The best Seal / Frank Sinatra video I have ever seen!:thumbup:

 

[Hmuda]

Thank you Hmuda.

I used the same Jupiter textures you mentioned. It looks better because of the post process editing I did to the film. Mostly increased color saturation and contrast.

Thanks, so I didn't miss a thing.

Next time I go through an "Orbiter slump," I'm watching this video. I bet you $9,000.21 that I will jump right back in. Thank for all your hard work, Tex!

May I ask what the name of the song is at the very end?

Donations are this way.

Awesome vid ! I have one request. Can you post a copy of the vid that isn't in HD or MP4 format ? My computers here have a LOT of trouble playing it. The processors simply can't handle it. The only way I even got it to play was to watch it play in a tiny little window, and even then, it was really jumpy. I'd really like to see this thing properly as what I saw was VERY good !! :thumbup:

Probe be praised! Nice job.

What kind of hardware do you have?
And probably more important: What do you use to play it? Try VLC.

You can also watch it on vimeo with HD off. Should play fine.

Man! Orbiter does tend to refine people's talents. I have seen so many people (including myself ) who joined the community and were known as newbies for perhaps their grammar, lack of knowledge, etc. But now they are well recognized and completely transformed.

Same goes for Tex. His first video was mediocre at best, he didn't even manage to land on the runway while flying the Shuttle xD Now he pulls off this master piece, with the clips completely in sync with the music. Bloody brilliant. Thank you for the excellent work people

My computers (desktop and laptop. Both are having this issue) are both 2 ghz Semperon processor with 1 gig of ram. The video card is an NVidia Gforce FX 5500. I have no clue what video card is in the laptop as I just packed it away. I have a broadband internet connection that's pretty damn fast.
The video gets choppy when I play it on the site, even with the HD turned off. I downloaded the video, and my processor spikes when I try to play it using Quicktime or Windows Media Player. The only way I've been able to get it to play at all is when I linked it to my "Facebook" page and they squash the video size when you watch it on the posting wall. It was watchable there, but it was still choppy.
I'll give that video player you pointed out a go.

Edit---
Nope. My processor is spiking trying to play the video with VLC as well.

I'd just like to say thank you very much to everyone for all of your comments on the film! Thank you also for all the contributions to Orbiter we've seen over the past few years, it's been a lot of fun playing Orbiter with the diversity of addons released and it's truly been a pleasure being a part of the community!

Hi Blacklight,

Thanks for your efforts to watch the film! I could render the video with a lower bit rate which should solve that problem. I'll let it render tonight while I sleep and upload it tomorrow. Check back here for the link. :tiphat:

Thank you very much !!! You know, this video should be posted on the main Orbiter site. From now on, when people ask me "What's Orbiter ?", I'm linking them to your video. Great job ! I love your movies ! :thumbup:

 

[Foofoo14]

Words alone cannot describe the greatness of your film.
Well executed, Titanis shall spare you.

 

[Blacklight]

I laughed when the music suddenly cut to "Fly Me To The Moon" and The Probe started floating across the screen.

((((((((((((((((((((((00000oooooo

You should do a film about "The Almighty Probe" !!!

is STAR material !!!!

Nicely done Tex. but I have a question. is it possible that you can make a tutorial of the motion blur effect for Vegas? I have been trying to do that im my vegas but i dont know exactly how and I tried to make one myself but it didnt end up like the final products like you did

Im afraid its the processor and the card. the RAM is fine. the processor thought I think is obsolete and that video card is over 6 years old. I suggest doing an upgrade to get rid of the sluggishness but if you dont have the money. just take your time or find another way. as there is no way to solve the problem except upgrading new hardware.
