Don't lie, you just took screenshots from Outerra... :lol:

:jawdrops: The 3rd and 4th shots look like X-Plane with photo scenery and the RealTerraHaze addon. Amazing!

Today I began working on a new Orbiter movie! Here's a shot from post-edit after some color correction work. The original footage is on the left. This particular scene (including many others after it) feature the wonderful Space Shuttle Ultra addon.

Ah, I can see a human in the Sun. A silhouette. :lol:

(They are Moon and Earth actually. I am at Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point.)

This screenshot also displays ADSWNJ's new Lagrange MFD Autohold screen. The Autohold autopilot will fire RCS thrusters to keep the vessel near the Lagrange point where the vessel is currently located.

@boogabooga post #7019:

Look carefully, boogabooga, one of the "Sun" is actually DG firing its thruster for station keeping at Sun-Earth L2 point. :lol:

Making more progress on my next cinematic Orbiter movie. I've finished most of the script and recorded many scenes. Sort of bouncing around different tasks at the moment, including post color correction and special effects. Here's a screen shot of the timeline so far. Release date not yet known, but stay tuned!

Why are there 2 suns?

Nice. Did you abandon Sony Vegas entirely or using Adobe AE only for composition / color correction?

Thanks mate! Definitely done with Sony Vegas. I'm now a huge fan of Adobe. I used After Effects for animations and effects, but most color grading and all editing is done in Premiere Pro.

Everything is better in Premiere though! The integration with other Adobe products, the VST integration for the sound, the color correction (so fast to get good result and the previews are so fluid!), finalrender times, etc...

I'm working with real footage for the moment, but I've been contemplating at doing a tribute / teaser-like video for Orbiter 2016 for a while now.

BTW, not *technically an Orbiter screenshot, but here is a shot of the timeline again with the movie title. So it is now officially the title of my upcoming film.

Definitely agree on all accounts. Looking forward to an Orbiter tribute if you make one. :thumbup:

I couldn't find any good dry dock addons, so I'm creating the scene I need in After Effects.

EDIT: Also, gotta love key framing. Tedious work! Creating engine flames from scratch was a pain, so I'm key framing in real footage from a shuttle launch.

So this took a few hours to finish an 8 second scene tonight. Pretty happy with the results. I was looking to get a shot looking back at the commander of the space shuttle during the launch sequence in my upcoming movie. I really wanted to use Orbiter as much as possible, but this film is really getting special effects "heavy". At least it's been fun to create!

In order from left to right, the first image is what I used for the commander. Notice the reflection on the visor. My first task was to remove that reflection and replace it with an image from an MFD in Orbiter. The second screenshot shows video footage of the Space Shuttle Ultra cockpit/MFD it will be replaced with. Next, I masked out the reflection, followed by the suit itself from the background. Using a combination of 'Bend It", "Glass", and "Blobbylize" effects, I was able to replace the mask with the MFD of the shuttle ascent program. (cool!) :idea:

The next screenshot to the right shows the suit and visor reflection complete on a transparent background. Finally I used the ground camera to get a shot through the window of the Orbiter as if it were a camera on the panel looking at the cammander for the background. After composing many layers, the end result post-color correction is looking good I think. Just added some camera shake and it's ready to go into the Premiere project with the rest of the footage. :RnR1:
