They're just paper-thin enough for me! But seriously, you cannot compare wc2 fighters with wc3 fighters without taking into account the advancements in technology, particularly shielding and armor, from one period to the other.

I actually enjoy Tripping the Rift quite alot, and in my opinion it's one of the most intelligent comedies on TV. Granted, that's not exactly great competition... It's got sort of a Duckman quality to it (though I wouldn't quite put it in that calibre).

Well, there is no real answer to that question. I haven't really decided how far I'm actually going to take the project. At the moment I'm working on the first and second episodes... that's not to say that I won't be doing more, just that I'm trying desperately not to bite off more than I can...

Just wanted to let people who are interested know that the animated series is coming along nicely. I'm in the middle of moving at the moment, but by next week I should be all ready to keep working on it. I've been considering releasing some more screenshots, but I want it to be a surprise when...

Mmmmm

Hey Jerid, that link doesn't seem to lead anywhere? I'd love to see your stuff.

Nice job, and good polygon efficiency! I always liked the Privateer ships... mostly the galaxy.

Yep, well, they did. It was done by Foundation Imaging for Sony, but the series got canned. It's even more impressive when you consider that it was done several years ago, and on a television series budget... Check it out

Ahk, you hurt me with your words Shaggy. But seriously, fully CGI productions are extremely expensive, and certainly not something that could even be concieved of as a $20 million dollar side project for Blizzard or any studio for that matter... With that said I would love to see a well...

It's an Epee. I guess 1 and a 1/2 out of 2 isn't bad. Now that I look at it in this side silhouette those things on the wingtips (that were missiles on the original wc2 Epee) look alot like cannons, which sort of gives it that decieving 'Raptor' look. I meant them to be sort of sensor rods...

Can you tell what this is supposed to be from just a silhouette? I'm trying to figure out if I've done okay in changing the designs for artistic or practical reasons...

Just wanted to post about the CIC frontpage news update screen shots... Excellent. I cannot wait to be able to play Standoff. Beautiful work.

The Carrier: This is something that's been tossed around quite a bit since the project was started. In the first episode there is no carrier... and that's the only script that has been fully completed. My original outlines had the series' carrier as a Bengal class. More recently I changed it...

Thanks guys. I'm very happy that the community seems to be pretty enthused about the project. I've been working on it for months just trying to get it to work right. For anybody who wants to help out: I need a title... and I haven't had much luck thinking of one yet. Some working titles...

Thanks for the ideas Gevatter Lars. It's pretty much all stuff I've already gone through myself, so I'll just try and explain why it ended up the way it did. The Dralthi Markings: This is something I had wanted to implement from the beginning. It's just a cool aesthetic idea. But when it came...

Here is a little taste of what the character animation will look like... I'm not as confident in this stuff but hopefully you guys will approve. Those long lift rides... It's some kind of flying pancake, I know it...

Thanks for the comments guys. The story will be set sometime in the 10 year gap between the original wing commander and wc2, and the direction I'm striving for is a series of stand-alone episodic shorts, a few minutes each, which will string together to make an overall story arc. Kind of like...

Thanks Austin Crewman, I've used Softimage XSI for the 3D components (mainly all of the ships). It has some great tools like cartoon inking and several shaders that have helped me get that sort of look. As for a Demo Reel, well, it's already being pieced together. I've got some shots...

Here are some of my final concept shots for the WC Animated Serial project. I think I've finally got the way the space combat animation will look all worked out. It's a merging of tradition animation and cgi. I'm just wondering what people think of the style, or even the project? A squadron...

It's a great idea. Something I'm noticing is that these pilots are flying Hornet class light fighters, which I believe weren't introduced to Confed forces until just prior to wc1... It may be worthwhile just to scrap the whole McAuliffe motif, and set the story in a different system at a...
