Steampunk World

1: Yes, I've been squeezing time where able to work on my part in things.
2: The immediate goal is to create the "urban steampunk neighborhood" as outlined early on.
3: Ensoniq5, I wet myself when I saw that machine... :P Seriously, that is really cool! You must have to do a lot of brainfarting to figure out the timings and such. One thing, does the machine appear to reverse its prop spin because its rotation speed exceeds the frames per second?
ENSONIQ5:
Hi Arik. The only serious brainfarting (heh heh, love the phrase!) involved working out the scripts. Trying to work our how quaternion coordinates work is totally beyond me... the Wiki page might as well be written in Klingon. I had to convert to roll/pitch/yaw, which at least makes some sort of rational sense!
As you said, the prop appears to reverse due to the stroboscopic effect caused between the rotation and the frame rate (one full rev per frame and the prop appears to stand still). Ideally there should be a strong motion blur once the prop builds up speed since even a very fast shutter speed on the imaginary camera couldn't freeze the motion so cleanly. There are a couple of ways this might be achieved within Anim8or, Kreator had good results ages back, from memory. The tricky bit will be cleanly transitioning from stationary prop to motion-blurred prop, but I will play around with it a bit... it could be a nice scene seeing an airship 'powering up'.

That is awesome Ensoniq! Just wonderful! I can't stop watching it haha. That is an amazin piece of technology/animation you have made there, in anim8or! I love the functionality of it as well, one can just imagine how this would work. Obviously it would be neat on an airplane but could be used to power just about anything by the looks of it.
I'm working on a big telescope to come out of the inventors house.. but my schoolwork is completely ruining my inspiration.. Ill have to draw out some basic functionalities of a telescope and work from there.

srry i havnt been helping, life and other projects slammed me and i have no time left -.-
