To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Aww yeah, that's fantastic.

Do you mind me picking this up as a "real" promo video? There's a lot of places I'd like to post this.

With proper credit, of course!

Thanks Robn. Yep go for it! No need to credit me. You can link directly to the vimeo video if you want but I've also left the download option on at the vimeo page so you can download the full rez H264 version

 

If you want lossless compression format (like Apple ProRes or Animation Codec) just PM me your email address and I can send you the master quicktime file via wetransfer

Shot Replacements

The shot orbiting Europa is a great shot with the red glow on the horizon but the textures pop in... Is there a way to get this shot again where the textures won't pop?

The textures of Europa are quite strange. They show that pop in effect and at low altitude they aren't vey detailed.

I'll try to find an altitude where you don't see the effect, or I'll lower the detail setting to see if It keeps the same detail, even if lower.

EDIT: Tried, but unfortunately I can't find a setting that doesn't show that issue. 🙁

The closing shot of the ringed planet is a bit wonky-- what I like about it is zooming up to it-- but then it just goes a bit wonky (I think it's the autopilot).. it'd be nice to zoom up and then just pan slowly with the ringed planet in the frame if that makes sense. Or something like that.

I think it's autopilot + external view. I could go for sidereal view and trying to anticipate the position of the planet with the camera. Can you tell me in which clip it was, so I can go to the same place and give it a try?

Hi Trumpet. Lovely video. Um, could I please put it on Pioneer's ModDB page? Pretty please? :flirt:  I will of course give you full credit as I do with everyone who contributes media to the site.

Hi Tichy,

No worries with Europa. 

Re: the end shot I'll have to get back to you tomorrow as I can't remember exactly which clip its from.

As long as that's ok with the pioneer dev community that's fine by me - the download link is still on if you want the H264 or just link to the VIMEO 

 

No need to credit. Just post me a link so I can see where it's ended up 🙂

Oh no Trumpet I always give full credit to every contributor and as for the dev team, they originally set up the site so it's kind of another aspect, an extension if you like of the official Pioneer site. I am sure it will get plenty of views. Once it is up you will find it here. Thanks again! :girlcrazy:

Hi Tichy.

 

The file in question was pioneer-iota_pegasi_b-take2_to_h1

 

What works is how the planet and sun zip away to nothing. The approach to the ring planet works as its centre frame too but then the auto pilot goes crazy : )

Ok! I'll try to record a better clip. 😉

By the way, do you need also some clip to show the new ships or some aspect of the interface (maybe only the new ui)?

I'm uploading two clips with many takes. The first ones are quite crappy... There are some good zoom outs in both videos and a coupe of good zoom in the second.

the very end of the 2nd one is lovely. 

 

it'll take me a few weeks (back into a busy period of work)  to find the time to cut them into the existing trailer but thanks for making the effort.
