Sub Assembly 2 of the Lego Helicarrier 76042 coming tonight!

Well the weekend is here and finishing off the second Sub assembly of the Lego Helicarrier. It is more of a daunting task than it seems to do it completely digital. Here are some stats about the video coming today:

Modeled in Mecabricks 460 parts +Mecabricks
Built and animated in Blender 2.77a
733,692 vertices, 924,684 faces

12600 Frames in 720P

Rendered in the Sheepit Render Farm @SheepItRF +SheepIt RenderFarm

CPU Render time 10,917 hours total
Real duration thanks to the cloud 131.46 hours

Will have it up tonight for your enjoyment. In this one I learned a lot about moving the camera trying to smooth things out for the video. Started out with complex path constraints and NURBS pathing and ended up with a much simpler solution after randomly seeing some kids playing tetherball on a playground while driving here in Nairobi.

Let me know what you think when you see it.
