3. 00:01:47

   other people what can be we're a big fan of your work how do you go about making these videos all right so basically I'm using a program called LightWave which is uh a 3D animating project which youve uh which has been used in uh Firefly Battlestar Galactica and what I do is I go to the website to the Holo View and you can actually download the model from the website of all the ships basically that have been shown so what I do is I download that and I put it into my 3D Program start cleaning up the mesh and working on a lot of the polygons because it does transfer a little bit messy so you've got to clean the mesh up complete from there I'll start retexturing start designing new textures for the item and then bring it over into a animating

4. 00:02:36

   program the animating program once I got it over there I'll start uh running courses of where I want to position the ships or the model entity itself and start designing uh a layout of how it's going to look once that's done we render it out it takes anywhere between a day to a possible week to depends on how much information there is and then I'll transfer it over to uh After Effects and start compositing all the layers together start putting so I start putting star backgrounds in planetary asteroids because if I try and do it all in one go it's just I'm going to be here all year burning out the the computer now uh is it just you or do you have

5. 00:03:23

6. 00:04:11

   Citizen hey everyone and welcome to this week's edition of quantum questions where we ask a cig developer as many questions as they can answer from subscribers and Star Citizen in just under two minutes joining us this week is Andrew Hernando from the LA Studio hey Andrew how's it going I'm doing good how many questions do you think you're going to answer this week um I'm going to go with five setting the bar kind of low all right two minutes on the clock and go what is your name and what

7. 00:05:01

   do you do my name is Andrew Hernando and I am a QA tester within the LA Studio what is your favorite ship my favorite ship probably right now has to be the F7 CM Super Hornet what does la QA do differently than the other QA teams uh So within La team uh the QA here uh specializes in helping the developers specifically pinpoint point out or de uh find Repro steps for the bugs that they need help with and what are you testing right now uh right now I am testing the buccaneer as well as uh smoke testing multiple builds for avocad avocado or

8. 00:05:49

   eggplant avocado what is a smoke test uh smoke test is looking for fires in a build when it initially comes out so that uh developers and testers like myself can hop onto the build and uh develop more and input more uh content more features into that build what is the funniest bug you've seen recently uh the funniest bug that I've seen most recently has to be uh where an AI ship would spawn in and the AI in the ship would fall out and it would just just keep dropping and when the ship took off it was like it was being flown by nobody what is the most frustrating bug that you have seen recently uh the

9. 00:06:37

   most frustrating bug that I've seen is the one I can't reproduce in front of somebody to show them that I can get it if you could have any other job in the video game industry what would it be uh I would have to say that I would probably go with something along Esports like managing Community or setting up an event uh tournaments you know I've always been interested in that and that's all the time we have Andrew thank you very much for joining us thank you with that Andrew Hernando goes on the board with eight questions answered correctly if you're interested in having your own questions being asked in future editions of quantum questions you can submit them in the subscribers down on Spectrum or vote for the ones that are already there with that let's check in with Alexus for this week subconscious
