Howard Day's video: USS Monro tows a disabled Merchantman 4K WIP

Short shot of the Munro pulling a disabled freighter back to Stardock for repairs. I worked on the tractor beam more, camera movement, and added some forward velocity-feel to the entire thing. I'm pretty happy with it, but there's still some vertex snapping going on with the tractor beam I'm not quiiite sure how to fix. 4K here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCfzcJEXy5uL4_f2CD7ZTSrd8MBLGPiV/view?usp=sharing Enjoy! The music is from Starfleet Academy - "On the Edge": https://youtu.be/Ymg16_kd-nU?list=PL1E34D15A932A0537 As always this is rendered in 3DSMax 2024.2, using VRay 6 GPU Optix. I'm using two 4090 RTX rigs, each doing half the frames. Render time averages were 1m08s to 2m05s at 110% 4K rez, with about 2-4s for post effects application per frame. 200 frames in total. Post in After Effects, using Sapphire by BorisFX for the lens flares, and Red Giant Looks for the color correction.
