How about the Yehat Terminator from Star Control 1 (July 1990) and 2 (November 1992)? The Yehat themselves influenced how I imagined the Firekkans to look like until I read Freedom Flight.

Hmm, this is pretty interesting. I'm still waiting for the torrent to complete (currently at about 98% after a slow drip of data for the past two days -- will continue seeding for a couple of days though) but have been able to watch the first ~20 minutes as the first substantial VOB file has...

Looks good, even without any light effects. Do you plan to render a similar 'bursting' of light as seen in the WC movie jump sequence (282kb / 2 seconds)? One thing I would suggest, is to perhaps add more definition to the mass of white particles near the entry by giving it more depth via a...

Hey gr1mre4per, that sounds great. Can't wait to see how it turns out! :D

There will be pre-rendered cinematics for the intro and main acts probably and game-engine rendered story sequences between missions -- check out the Starcraft 2 videos here, particularly the Storymode Walkthroughs from Blizzcon to see this in action.

gr1mre4per, is there any chance when you compile your extended version and/or any other other sequences of possibly rendering them at a higher resolution, say 720p (1280x720)? I realise this will require much more processing power and thus significantly extend the render time, so it's perfectly...

And it's dubbed internally at Microsoft as "Vega" -- a sign of things to come on the Arena front? ;) Joystiq have the news: Cheers, Bryn

That's a neat clip, gr1mre4per -- looks very promising! :D I really like the movement in the last shot in particular, and your weapon effects and missile trails looked quite good too. Cheers, Bryn

Yeah, I was very impressed with your contest entry, Paragon. :cool: Can't wait to see the next strip!

Hey Queeg, Not bad, not bad at all! :) I'd echo AD's sentiment, but can also appreciate Brad's concerns having messed about with some WC models in 3dsmax 5/6 a few years ago. You've added quite a few elements and your overlay work is always good -- a dynamic background and smoother movement...

Thanks Tolwyn. :)

Great work Klavs! :D While I can appreciate those concerns regarding the POV and the paint scheme, they shouldn't detract from what is a very impressive rendering. Are those little black specks supposed to be crewmen? Also, could you guys please provide a direct link to the image? I've...

Track 9 (The Great Dogfight) now appears to be up too!

Props to the Fatman and Team Fat for the ongoing release of these tracks! :) Where does the Fatman's WC1 Surf theme factor in to this release, if at all? This project's seemingly been under construction for so long that I thought the Surf theme was a sign of its new direction or was it...

Happy birthday, ace!

Cool. Which camera angle are you guys tending to use the most in general gameplay? There's a low resolution clip of a 4m:35s session of the Capship mode up on YouTube -- the Kilrathi get their whiskers cleaned! Cheers, Bryn

Thank you, EA! Something to savour indeed! Your Kilrathi alter-ego, L'hah "Vengeance" nar Qarg (P.16), has been busy racking up the kills! Do we know if the manual was produced internally at EA or were Gaia and/or other parties involved? Either way they've done a bang-up job. :D...

I'm assuming that wasn't a direct transfer of some of Microsoft's investment in DA in to the movie budget, but rather the use of DA modellers, artists, etc and their time to complete the movie's visual effects?

Happy Birthday, Hades!

Oh yeah, I'm sure there were some bones of contention and 'issues' between the various parties, but essentially I don't recall anything acrimonius or damaging spilling over into the media coverage, like certain other high-profile separations have done. Didn't DA recycle some of their WC movie...
