I finally figured out a way to simulate the rotation of the ship when the pilot tries to control it with the attitude control thrusters!
It was actually quite simple after I figured out a proper way to use the Dynamics module.
You can check out the test animation from the test renders page.
The project is progressing slowly, only about 20 seconds of the final movie have been rendered. I am in the process of animating a 40-second clip that will be the intro for the movie.

I just got my first ever lip sync clip rendered! It is downloadable from the
test renders page. It is only 5 seconds in length and is nothing special,
but it is a big step in this project of mine. It took three weekends to
animate, and about 30000 "CineBenchHours" to render.

The teaser is released (see the
Download page)! I created threads on the
CGTalk,
3D Gladiators and
StarWreck (in Finnish)
forums about the teaser, and the teaser was well received all around! Nice!

I sent queries about the music to 4 composers, got a reply from three, two of whom were interested
in the project. Eventually I chose the music by
Chris Holm for the teaser, which is now almost ready.
I am in the process of setting up my web site on the new web host, after which I'll release the teaser!

I am looking for composers willing to create original music for Snow Fall. I searched in
www.mp3.com for musicians who create film music
similar in style to Hans Zimmer. I found a few possible composers and sent them email
to query their interest in working on Snow Fall.

All animation clips for the teaser have been rendered! The teaser would be ready for
release, except that it uses Hans Zimmer's music without permission. I'll need to find
legal music for it before I can release it.

I started working on a teaser for Snow Fall. I have a couple of animation clips that suit
the teaser already rendered, but I need to render a couple more. I'll use an
excerpt from "The Rock" soundtrack
by Hans Zimmer so that I can test the rhythm and
editing of the teaser.

I am somewhat stuck with the damaged space ship model, so I decided to create WIP threads both
on the
CGTalk
and on the
3D Gladiators
forums, hoping that this would give me ideas and motivation to keep working on the ship.
