Hello good sir, I would like to purchase some of your delicious command briefing animations.

The specifications are below!
I had more than I thought I did originally... I dunno if this is too much for a simple 9 mission campaign

Vassago's Dirge CBAnis

Mission 2 -

Stage 1
Footage of the last few seconds of the GTSC Thevenin.

Camera attached to the Thevenin. Camera is slowly panning across the debris field. The Vassago, still off line, comes into view. Vassago suddenly starts to come online, glowmaps fading in, beam cannons beginning to fire. Camera zooms to a wide view. Beams fire very close to the camera. Static.

Stage 2
Starmap of the immediate area.

In view: Epsilon Pegasi, Capella, Vega, Gamma Drac, Nebula system. Camera focused on Capella. Two fleet indicators on the nebula (A small Hecate and Hatshepsut). 1 Hecate over Epsilon Pegasi, 1 Orion over Capella. A few ships moving in transit from Gamma Drac to Capella.


Mission 3 -

Stage 1
Sensor read out from the last mission.
Visible Text:
Replaying Recorded Data
GTA Argus
Lots of other graph like things. (If at all possible sneaking in a spectrogram of Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto (yes I am being cheeky with this ))

Stage 2
Rotating wireframe of an Arcadia installation.
Visible Text:
Cagliari Station
Contract awarded to: Strauss Corporation
Status: Cancelled
Other small unreadable text that would show other contractors and project managers.

Stage 3
NTC Orpheus plus 1 other Aeolus and Argo breaking through the GTVA blockade. Lots of pew pew going on for effect. Camera zooms in on Orpheus as it jumps out.

Scene changes to a rotating wireframe of an Aeolus Cruiser.
Visible text:
NTC Orpheus
Captain: John Sibelius (O-6)
Defected: December 17th, 2366

For my two cents, I'd like to request that where possible, generic ANIs are preferable to ones with specific ship names as they're more versatile. Compare the FS1 cbanis and their widespread use to the user-made FS2 campaigns stuck with spinning Rakshasas and Maras.

[mjn.mixael]

Axem: Looks good. Clear and concise. I assume you want these to match the FS2 style of anims a bit? It's a pretty big request, which is no problem. It will just take some time.

[Axem]

Galemp: I wouldn't know how much effort it would take, but maybe some of these could be re-rendered without labels for others to use.

mjn.mixael: Yeah, this is a FS2 era campaign, so matching the style would be great. No problems on time, the campaign is already out so its not delaying anything.

[mjn.mixael]

Done'd

Link will be in your PMs shortly. Please note any changes you would like to see here.

I've sent both ANI and EFF types... EFFs look better but seem to lag the Brief screen.

[Axem]

Had a quick look through them. Allow me to place a blanket, "Cool Stuff" over all of them.

Some changes I'd like to see if its not too much.
m3-s3: Beef up that crew roster! Do you need more names? I can make some up. One extra name that should go in is Hermine Karajan.
m7-s1: The ships go gray a little too subtly for me. Can you put some kind of highlight box around the ship going gray? Something to draw attention to the ship.

[mjn.mixael]

Redownload those same links in one hour. Updates are done.

Yo yo yo, necromancing up this thread in the hizz-house.

New request so Vassago can work better with the 2014 mediavps. I did some horrible texture editing for the Black Ash infested Arcadia, and I would like some new maps so it meshes well with the new Arcadia. Basically I'd like two sets of textures, slightly infested (as seen in Mission 2) and really infested (as seen in Missions 7 and 9).

I just messed around with cloud patterns before and can't seem to recreate what I had before. The Black Ash growth is kind of organic/fractal looking.

And maybe to set in the fact that the Arcadia was never finished, have no blue paint of anything, just colors of bare steel. Gray, brown, etc.

(PS, you totally rock)
