Moon Films (beta)

Testing Vítor Cardoso's (vcard) ingenious solution to display web video in a virtual world, i'm building the Moon Films world - around the idea of space exploration in classic sci-fi cinema (and a good excuse to model fun stuff). It's in beta - more models and films will be added soon, as well as some information regarding the fictional vehicles in the broader context of space exploration. And some surprises, cool stuff and testing of interaction ideas. I'm open to tips, suggestions and new ideas. Visit here: Moon Films. And if gremlins do strike and things do not display correctly, drop me a line!

Cool!

Cool!

These films and stories remind me how we all gone to the the moon before the astronauts. I even tested the world with a Tintin avatar smiley

Moon Films - updated

mfilm

Now updated with more goodies. Spaceship and film list is: columbiad capsule, from Meliès/Jules Verne A Voyage to the Moon, Friede rocket, from Fritz Lang's Frau in Monde (desgined by Herman Oberth), Luna-1 from George Pal's Destination Moon, X-FLR6 from Hergè's From The Earth To The Moon, and the Space Station 1/Shuttle-Cargo rocket designed by Werner Von Braun for Disney's Trip Around The Moon. Next up: reorganizing the space (way too cluttered, but bear in mind this started as an experiment), adding more stuff - maybe an Eagle (Space: 1999)  or an apollo module... or... a monolith. Very black. Who knows, maybe Cyrano, Apollonius or Randolph Carter might find a spot here. Also, text info about the films. Another idea is organizing a YouTube playlist with these clips and more. 

All these models are created in Vivaty Studio, except for winglets (a DogaL3 preset) and some curved details (Sketchup), the moon buggy (Doga L3) and the astronaut (from a NASA page with 3DS models). It's a stimulating challenge to interpret images and plans as geometric shapes to build these objects.  Soon i will leave them for download as WRL files on my personal page. Feel free to comment, critique or suggest new ideas!

Revamping the Moon Films

Revamping the Moon Films world. The space will be redesigned and new spaceships/film themes added. This is one of the new models, still a work in progress (harder than i expected). Can you guess wich spaceship and science fictional moon representation is?
