iPhone LCARS app

[Korax]

Hey guys,

I'm developing an LCARS app for iOS. You may ask why, couse there are lots of them out already. But each one of them has its "but"- they either look good BUT are just static images, or they are interactive BUT look bad... so I want to come out with something that both looks good and reacts to the user.

Beside other stuff, the app will include a naigation pane, where you could for exampe give an order to enter warp. So I thought it would be neat if when somebody would press the button, there would actually be a video sequence of the ship (Galaxy class Enterprise) going to warp. So I was wondering if somebody from around here would be interested in helping me out with this.

Thanks.

For my voyager bridge i made a lot of LCARS screen (static) in adobe illustrator. If you want i can share them with you. They should be editable in flash.

Sure, thanks a lot, the adress is korax (*at*) subspace (*dot*) cz. Suppose you can't help me with the videos, can you?

something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99twkSljlt0

[Korax]

something like that exactly in fact. Thats what im looking for.

The model was made by prologic9 and the max format by knightrider. I don't know if your allowed to use the rendering without credits. You will have to contact them. As for the animation's am i correct you need :

- bank left
- bank right
- Some evasive manouvering (pattern delta...lol)
- Go to warp
- At warp
- Warp to impulse
- phaser fire sequence
- Photon fire sequence
- Saucer separation (not in this model though)

Am i missing anything?

[Korax]

nope, that should do it, at least I cant think of anything else.

[Chainsaw_NL]

Changing the model and animating the docking clamps now for saucer separation.

Looks pretty awesome, good job!

[Chainsaw_NL]

Just calulated the time. It's about 50 hours to render this scene....

[Erik_Timmermans]

On your 486DX2?
Very nice! Looks really filmy!

[Chainsaw_NL]

LMFAO.... No seriously on my I7-980 16GB. V-ray renderer, good but.....

[Korax]

... still rendering? 8)

[Chainsaw_NL]

Yep, and animating. Do you have a deadline? I think it's another 50 Hrs. Have it done by the end of the week.
