Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
Awesome. :)

I'll send you the fighters when I get round to putting them into mine, which shouldn't be to far off. (Probably the Scorpian, Dragon, Manticore, Herc, and the Ursa at this stage - this will probably change later on, but the lucy in the command briefings used nothing but Scorpians).

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
If anyone gets to making a cutcene of the Lucifer attack on Tombaugh Station, it will have to include the Animation from the Command briefing Ani.

You know the one where the Lucifer has swarms of Scorpion fighters streaming out of it as it eclipses the Ribos star (A Red Giant, BTW)

actually, i just realised that it would need to include Subspace for the Lucifer's Arival.

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
Don't forget the Vasudan fighters, too... if you want to include them.  I'll take a few shots specifically aimed at the fighters for you.

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
strange...i never realized that the lucy looks like a skull with headset on from the frontview  :cool:



i added some additional lighting to the ship, as the red glows would illuminate the ship....




btw: once i was inspired by FS and did a small fighter with a glow-tex. what do you think about it?

 
Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition

Not necessarily. You could position the "camera" (or viewpoint, or whatever) just beneath where the Lucifer would exit and facing away. Then you'd have a cool (if slightly cliched) monster-spaceship-of-doom flying over the camera shot. Accompanied of course by the subspace vortex sound.

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
if i really find the time for all this, i have no fear against a subspace scene. the destruction of vasuda is the challenge i think...

edit:
added engine glow and the superlaser.....okay this way? did it out of my mind...

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
It's a nice start. :)
I'd suggest 2 things though:
1) Make the warm up glow bigger and more powerful looking (it's an absolutely massive beam - far bigger than any other weapon.)
2) Give the beam a more visible aurora/glow around its core. It looks a bit on the solid side ATM. The one in the the command briefing also had a weird shifting flux pattern of white and blue to it that looked great. Something along those lines could look spectacular. :D

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
i will try. i just watched the pre-mission briefing of exodus. the beam looks strange and it will be hard to match the look 100%...

edit:
okay...here is the beam itself....i declare it final as it meets the original one well i think

and with the lucy:

 :jaw: :jaw: Get that ingame and I'll love you!

We may just have a new cutscene artist on our hands, a very good one.

You may want to make the beam more orange.

Re: Cutscene for Failure on Endgame Petition
hiho,

thanks  :)

regarding the beam i´m not sure. in the fsport command briefing animation the beam is blue....but it´s only a matter of a few clicks to change that.

other opinions?

It was an intel animation that showed the Lucy making a pass from right to left, covering a sun while doing it, and launching an awful amount of Scorpions from its fighterbay. It was, when you first heard about the Lucy in FS1, right after it had destroyed Tombaugh station.

I'll post it.

Act 2 Intro A

This scene shows the capture and eventual destruction of the Taranis cruiser.  It also shows the SuperDestroyer in its entirety for the first time.

[cut to anchor doing live news coverage]

Anchor:   We’re now going to the science station Tombaugh in the Ribos system where a team of Terran and Vasudan scientists await the arrival of a recently captured Shivan D-class Cruiser.  It’s being escorted by the Terran Destroyer XXXX, which conducted the attacks and capture operations over the course of three days.

[cut to Cruiser & Destroyer arriving through subspace holes, viewed from a large window on the science station.  The newscast can be dimly heard in the background.]

Terran-1:   [approaching window and pointing]  Whoa!  There she is!

Terran-2:   [joining first Terran at the window]  Look at that!

[two others join them at the window]

[cut to close shot of the two big ships leaving subspace, with many fighters flying escort.  Some battle damage is seen on the Taranis]

[cut to reverse shot of ships approaching station]

[cut to shot over the shoulders of the Terrans clustered around the window.  They’re cheering and acting very excited]

[cut to shot of nearby comm officer]

Comm Officer:   Roger, this is Tombaugh station, (Fill Trasport Name), we have you.  You’re now cleared for approach at pylon S1…. stand by for ADT transmission.

The comm officer’s station begins to flicker.  Power is failing, and the instruments are struggling to retain their displays.

[cut to window shot again.  Terrans are looking around at the failing lighting systems, making puzzled noises.  Comm officer can be heard
nearby, trying in vain to regain contact with the approaching ships]

[cut to exterior shot showing both Destroyer XXXX and the science station.  Lights can be seen failing across both, leaving them black.]

[cut to another view showing some escort fighters losing power and starting to list aimlessly]

[cut to comm officer shot again.  She’s working in darkness, trying to raise the XXXX on her comm]

Over her shoulder we see a huge warp tunnel begin to appear.  It’s blood red and much larger than any subspace hole’s seen so far.  The crew gasps in shock, wondering what it is.

[cut to closeup of emerging SuperDestroyer.  Show tons of fighters spew from it’s bays before it’s even emerged totally.  The SD mows over a couple Terran fighters floating in its way.]

[cut to shots of Shivan fighters blasting the helpless Terran fighters, pilots yelling]

[cut to shot of SD passing by the captured Cruiser.  Watch as the shadow passes over the side of the station]

[cut to forward shot of the crowd at the window, as the shadow passes over them, they stand there in awe]

[cut to shot over their shoulders, as the SD passes very close to the Cruiser and station.  Members of the assault team on the Cruiser point at different parts of it, muttering.  The SD gradually slows to a stop.]

[cut to under shot of the SD’s big gun array.  It starts to reconfigure and “draw light” to itself.]

[cut to shot of one crewmember]

Crew-1:      Oh, no!  [like he/she is the first to realize what’s happening]

[cut back to gun]

A huge energy beam blasts out from the gun!

[cut to shot of beam tearing into the Cruiser as it gets thrown back from the blast]

[cut to shot of assault troops at window, being thrown against the window from the impact]

[cut to shot of beam making its way across the Cruiser, slicing it up]

maybe: [cut to angle showing Shivans leaping from openings in the SD (without suits!)]

[cut to interior of cruiser where the crew was]

Through the window we can see the beam approach this room.  The crew is running around madly, but the wall erupts and they’re all incinerated in a split second.  Come up with some cool incineration effect here.

[cut to medium shot of the two ships]

The beam is cutting through the far side of the Cruiser, and it’s hull is buckling and breaking up.

[cut to interior shot of Shivans boarding and tearing up some Terran crew]

[cut to shot of a floating Terran fighter]

The battle is reflected in his canopy.  He’s watching helplessly in wide-eyed fear]

[cut to reverse shot, showing his POV]

A couple seconds of battle can be seen before a Shivan fighter spots him, aims, and blasts him to hell.  The screen goes black.
