Community Event / Creation Cobra Mk III & Blender Soft Body Physics.

[Captain Slick]

Hi,

On Ian Bell's website, I found the coordinates for the original Cobra MK III. I converted them & tossed them into Blender.

I'm still learning tons about Blender - right now i'm playing with "soft body physics".

here's 12 seconds of a Cobra meeting a completely unexpected fate

That looks good.
Rubber Cobra!

how long did that take to put together?

 

[Listeri69]

love it although it looks like two cobras mating

The final frame looks a bit like a Coriolis station...

 

[Captain Slick]

how long did that take to put together?

Longer than it appears. 1 session to gen up the geometry, 2 to fit an acceptable texture, 1 to set lights, rules & motion, then time to render the animation.

maybe about 8-9 hours for 12 seconds of animation, but since the groundwork is set, future developments can happen more efficiently.

A jelly Cobra would certainly make docking easier...

Ah, I see you found Frontiers edge of the galaxy easter egg.
