    New Airplane

    Hmm, I apologize. I missed that second sentence. My mistake. Thank you for pointing me to it. :)

    New Airplane

    What is the advantage this plane has over current models? Better fuel consumption rate? Faster? Greater passenger capacity?

    Wing Commander Relaunch

    It wasn't nearly as bad as the "Flying Tigers" ala Starlancer.

    Compo: Free Graphics Card and Upgrade for life

    I know absolutely nothing about soccer (football) but I'll venture a guess and say Germany wins. :)

    Let the music play

    Really? I've only heard one score that I remember coming from Needaham...mind pointing me to various tracks?

    Let the music play

    Down boy... :) Needaham, Chris and Halman are both quite correct. You did sound about as arrogant and pretentious as you possibly could be. I don't know if that was your intent but it certainly came off that way. (ala a sort of "Look everyone I know everything about everything!" kind of...

    News: Cutscenes and Server move

    I guess I wasn't see that much of a difference in quality in the shots posted and say for example this sample clip I quickly rendered...took about 6-7 minutes to render. http://www.ctfboc.com/movies/test.wmv As near as I can tell standard MAX rendering would work fine for your needs...? No...

    Let the music play

    I agree with that. I'm just saying that someone who has absolutely no understanding of music whatsoever can still invent a melody simply by whistling it out. They don't need to know that "Ok, I'm going from C major chord to a C minor here." So...in a long roundabout way I'm just saying, whether...

    Let the music play

    Well I agree with you that there certainly are acknowledged experts in the field of music. However, my point was that I could create a song that is more appealing than an acknowledged "expert." He or she may know more about what makes their song or my song tick but as far as creativity is...

    Let the music play

    Music is something that can be as complex as quantum physics or as simple as 1+1, it's all in the perception. Sometimes some of the most powerful songs are extremely simple but yet the beauty of music is the depth that always remains. You can take a song and play it one way but if you change...

    News: Cutscenes and Server move

    I'll readily admit I don't know what specifically you are referring to here but it seems like to me there are simpler more effective rendering solutions for items like shadow maps etc. I know I use 500x500 shadow maps in my scenes and I can render a 150 frame clip in about 5-6 minutes (give or...

    News: Cutscenes and Server move

    Hmm, I would assume that you use a pretty generic light setup that mimics the classic film studio approach. two softer fill lights and one strong kick light that is always opposite the camera. Typically that sort of light setup doesn't normally affect the rendering in any significant matter...

    Why? You don't like his setup?

    What will be my Fan Project... YOU DECIDE!

    Quite so, who honestly didn't see this one coming? There's been dozens of fan projects started up just exactly like this...and died just exactly like this...

    Let the music play

    Sibelius is good, Cakewalk Music Creator in its various forms is good, Encore is good. They all are decent programs with similar options it really depends on what options you prefer.

    Rank on all time kills list.

    Yes, they produced the finest airforce the world knew at the time...and that was considering that they started later than the rest of the world as they were not allowed to have an airforce wing under the terms of their treaty... Dont' get me wrong, Goering did a lot of things wrong...a heck...

    Laterz

    Why did you feel the need to open a thread to announce you won't be spending as much time here? Are you going to open another to update us on when you will be going to get some food? Seems a little ridiculous to me and a little bit like you want some attention... But whatever, best of luck to you.

    A gift

    Neat screen, the font however seems very "Un-Wing Commanderish" though...? Pretty cool other than that though. I'm pretty sure, however, that the pioneer team will probably want to use their own screensavers etc., but you never know...

    Jalkehi

    That is correct, I apologize for the grammatical error. As for the Jalkehi, it was (in my estimation) an average foe in WC2. Not the easiest thing to tackle but not necessarily the worst either. I could typically score my kills against them by nailing them in the flanks as have been...

    Wing Commander mentioned

    There I quite agree with you. For some reason my friends do not agree that the light sabre duel in Episode 1 was any good. I personally thought it was one of the best, the whole Obi-wan having to wait trapped in the heat doors while Darth Maul duked it out with his master was quite intense. In...
