That aura around the starfield stars also seems wrong.

I'm wondering if someone actually has the model of the Apollo bomber used in the intro scene. I remember seeing a screenshot of it in the Port board, and a new Apollo skin based off of it, so it's likely that such an asset would be crazy useful for you.

so when do we get to see the ones you have done in all their moving glory?  It's not like I'm impatient or anything :p.  Or did I misunderstand and they are not as close to done as I thought?

Awesome! I would love to use those models. I'll PM you my email.

Yeah, I'm working on the nebulas for all the Ancients videos. I'm trying to get the basic animation and look finished up and then I'm tweaking stuff to make it look better.

Good call on that moon. I'll fix it up.

Yeah, the new Apollo skin is hiding somewhere in the boards, if anyone needs it I can still upload it somewhere. It's still a fighter and not a bomber though, I mean it's 1 seat and not 2 seats like in the cutscene.

Well, I figure that it is OK that my version will fix some continuity issues in the cutscenes.

Also... the asteroids are taking a lifetime to render... (30 hours left).

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [Updated: Ancients 3] (56kers be warned!)
I thought about this one a lot because having done Ancients 1-4 consecutively, I noticed how similar they are. I decided I would make this one more about the asteroids than the planets/stars/nebulas, so I added a lot more asteroids.

Thanks, though I have been using [lvlshot] for the 1920x1080 screens. The old ones are 640x320 and not in need of [lvlshot]...

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [Updated: Ancients 4] (56kers be warned!)
I vote for Lt. Ash's skin. The retail skin sucks, and I don't want it ingame, even less in a high-res cutscene. Just my two cents.

Keep up the good work :yes:

The original script had the pilot mentioning that his co-pilot was dead.  This was cut out later.  So... hmm.

Also, for the FS2 cutscenes, did anyone ever HTL or otherwise improve the Colossus?

Is there no HTL Apollo?

I'm not sure about the Colossus.

There are two separate HTL efforts going on for the Colly, GalEmps, which has stalled, and TrashMans, on which no progress has been posted in some time.

These look amazing! How long before we can see some FMV versions?

can you add a little of brown mist to the asteroids shot... to make it look like small debree?


oh and your sun is looking better on this render, you did some tweeks on that right?

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [Updated: Ancients 4] (56kers be warned!)
Mist of debree... good call! I like it. I'll add that as soon as the main asteroids are finished rendering.

The suns/lens flares/nebulas/stars are each different for each different cutscene. They are all a work in progress. The reason I haven't called any of them finished is because I want to get those all looking great. I gave them a look to start with so I could get you guys some screens. I'm still tweaking them.

FMV Versions.... Probably after I get my new site up and running. I run a video studio with two other guys in KC, MO. We just decided to change names and webhosts so that is all up in the air. Once that is up, I'll upload FMV version so you can see the motion I've got.

I'll release the FS1 pack as a whole when all the scenes are finished. (ETA: "When it's ready").

Anyone know if SCP is sticking with OGG? I WAY prefer H.264, but OGG is no big deal. When the time comes I'll need someone to wrap them up into a new VP file. Maybe fs1cutscenes_hi.vp?

ogg/theora is the chosen codec for the time being. h264 implementation is, at the moment, not planned.
