thats a pretty small window youve got there for the mov but it looks pretty cool.
was this just a personall project thing?

That looks pretty good, Me109 :)
I like that first layer with the basic design - then seeing the technology fall into place on top. Good visualisation.

If I can offer some constructive criticism though, I just think that maybe the screen (that is a screen, isn't it?) needs to look more like a screen. The way it is now it kind of looks like a static image. Maybe you could do something like have the screen start out blank when it falls into place, and then have the screen image fade in?

Good job nonetheless.

I was curious, how did you make this? What software did you use?

Hi.. yeah the whole thing was for uni.. I whipped it up over a couple of days.. I wanted to render it out with mental ray.. but it wouldve worked out taking two weeks.. and i had to hand it in the next day :)

Its done in Maya 6 in poly's and one camera
the background is a sphere using an ocean shader (looks real good using mental ray)
output: tiff sequence compressed through quicktime using sorenson 3

Yeah I will be doing more work on it, like actually making the screen dynamic.. I've been looking into quicktime a bit, and you can set up hyperlinks and text to make the movie interactive, just don't know how easy it is ;)

I'll try throw up a larger version in the next couple of days

cheeers guys thanks for the comments! :D
