Homeworld Mod Getting Cool Intro

Aaron Thomas has taken a break from texturing fighter models and tweaking gameplay mechanics to work on an intro for the WC4 Homeworld 2 mod. So far he's rendered a Confed flight suit for the clip and even that alone is very impressive. You can see the progression so far in the shots below and a couple actual pictures for comparison.

I have been planning to add an opening cinematic to the WC4 Mod for some time now. I have made it past the storyboard stage and started on the 3D modeling. The first model is the Confed Pilot. I initially thought I would just post the final model pics straight here, but it is taking me some time to get it done, so I will post wip images as it progresses. So far I'm still building the suit. There is lots more work left. Lots of detailing still needs to be done and I've only just started working on the sleeves. CIC welcome, have a look. :)

Making the Game - Part 87

This second and final unlabeled tab of the Wing Commander Prophecy bible has a cool 3D map of the game's progress, as well as flowcharts and notes on how the game as a whole will progress. It's the last 'errata' section of the bible - next we move on to incredibly detailed notes on each of the game's mission serieses.
