Good news for Odyssey Ki! We have a new team member on board, an award winning freelance artist, Kevin S. with AnimateMyArt.com.
Pictures by Kevin found here.
Here is more about Kevin: "I grew up loving art and 3d animation, I have over the years worked in the gaming and technical industry’s and I currently work as an independent freelance artist. I love to animate just about anything I can. I am a strong environmental artist that loves creating rich detailed scenes." He continues to state "I use both Iclone and Hitfilm they are both vital tools for any projects I create. They are streamlined and simple to use products. In a short time these products have enabled me to create over 160 animations and videos. Both Iclone and Hitfilm are great products and work well together to create almost any kind of art projects, whether it be some minor effects or large animation or film projects. These programs can easily help you achieve all your final project goals with simplicity and efficiency." With both of us using the same tools, there is no telling what we can do!

Thanks to your donations a computer that is more capable is coming which will make the quality increase and time rendering decrease. In addition to that, I plan on getting the same equipment for Kevin so we can be in sync on our creations. This is expanding, grow with me. Donate today + be entered to win a generous giveaway!
In the mean time, I'm doing the best I can given my PC and upload speed, learning new techniques daily, staying up all hours of the day and night, learning, applying, growing. Check out my latest YT videos:
Backyard butterfly swarm with a feline visitor
I am working on a scene in the Odyssey Ki movie trailer that requires a lagoon and wanted a swarm of butterflies of different colors. My cat Sunny was surprised by a 3D model lioness I am experimenting with to use in an African overflight scene. This video shows what you can do to your own back yard to make it more interesting. in this compositing practice video of my backyard with a birdbath and watering hole for visitors added some Iclone Bamboos, some flowers, the single lioness (could be a whole pack or whatever). Next time will use a good camera (must get one) and a tripod for a more stable clip that is longer to play with. No Audio for this one...
King Alalu (Taleron) and Anu (Braknai) Fight and Escape Animation
Odyssey Ki Trailer Source for T5. This is raw animation fight PNG sequence no background image or sound effects but some good tunes to watch with. I have a background crowd and arena composite as well as light and energy effects for the UFO sucking Taleron onboard to escape. There are explosions (which I might share) and a dogfight in the actual movie as part of the escape sequence as well as a cockpit view with Saurama unmasking at the edge of the arena before snatching up the defeated king Taleron and unleashing some heinous alien weapons on the crowd cheering Braknai's victory. This is the raw animation without the composited arena and crowd backgrounds. Enjoy seeing the tyrant get smacked down in the Uribanni Arena, unfortunately before he was shown to be dispatched, the craft piloted by commander Saurama rescues him as he flees thru the planet Ki portal in exile
Commander Saurama Fires on Uribanni Aren
Odyssey Ki Commander Saurama Shoots the Arena to create a diversion as she is ordered to rescue the fallen king Taleron. In the fight and escape sequence Commander Saurama uses a tractor beam to raise Taleron off the arena floor while the victor Braknai watches. T5.6 previous segment https://youtu.be/A2YyocQjNE0
Planet Ki Scavenger Hunt for Gold, Orichalcum, and Stibium at Eridu
Odyssey Ki Trailer Segment T6.1 introduces the planet Ki advanced team that arrived in the Persian Gulf circa 450,000 years ago having departed planet Uribanni to obtain resources the 7th planet, our Earth. The sea of reeds surrounding Eridu is the location for the garden of ED.IN as discussed in the Bible. Hothsaye built Eridu as his "earth station one" or home far away in order to stage the plans for his assigned mission. For those that understand the alchemy invloved with producing starfire gold, stibium should be obvious as to their intent. Tapmahr and Kushku are tasked with searching the earth for the desired rare earth metals and the encounters are epic. For the trailer, will only be doing a subset of the full scene planned for Odyssey Ki.

Odyssey Ki Blockbuster Movie Countdown Timer Activated
This simulation only uses physics from Iclone, the first domino falls due to a slight offset centering of the constraint pivot that gravity causes to fall into the next domino until reaching a hidden stack of dominoes (50) that have particle physics bombs inside waiting to be triggered then the bounding constraints of the other particles stacked one on top of the other are essentially projectiles with Brownian motion impacts. The point constraint that allows the marquee to swing has its constraints violated by a projectile which breaks the connection and it becomes a projectile, but much larger with a different mass. The final fun with particles was done in HitFilm.
Let the dominoes fall where they may, Odyssey Ki is on the way!
