The Black Arrow was a British rocket, cancelled despite a 100% successful launch.
This is a short CGI documentary I made about it.
QAs usual, everything was mmodelled and rendered in Lightwave 3d

Another one from a while back – An animation done with the wonderfully weird software “Groboto” of abstract morphing shapes.
I just found this animation I did a while back. I always loved the old 8 bit game Elite, and this is my attempt to produce something that captures it’s mood, but with up to date graphics and music.

Video I did, pretty much to scale of a flight across the “Ringworld” system, described in Larry Niven’s book of the same name.
Full 1080p HD, with some music, all done in Lighwave 3d
This short animation shows my model of the Bernal Sphere Space Habitat. (No sound this time). Full HD.
The idea is that people live on the inside of a rotating sphere – the hoops on either side of the sphere contain agricultural areas, and there are rings of mirrors to direct light in the right places. The big vanes are to dump excess heat in order to control cooling.
For this animation I used light from the side, as it shows the shapes better. To be accurate it should shine along the main axis instead.
The resemblance to Babylon 5 is not a coincidence, the design for that series was loosely based on the Bernal Sphere too.
My favourite film by a mile is “2001 a Space Odyssey”. Here’s an animation I made in tribute – all the models are by me except for the Orion Shuttle, And despite what the liars say, the music is all properly licensed and was added to me using Sonic Fire Pro.
I strongly recommend watching in full HD! Not least because it took me weeks to render it at that resolution, on top of all the time spent modelling.
