It takes around 3min to render in 640*480. I'll do it later:)

It's imo to short for sound:)

The fast firing thats how the updated RBC works:D

Glad you liek it:D

Sweet!! :eek2: it looks awesome

allthough being short it still could need sounds... and the battle perhaps ends a bit too suddenly in the end

otherwise, so cool, so cool :nod:

impressive,
a golden rule when doing any animation is to always have the camera moving, even if its slowly following a ship, theres a nice sense of action, maybe break up the wing's a bit, they seem a bit to uniform for a combat situation, but otherwise top notch work

TOO LATE! DARKAGE IS MINES! HE'S MINES, I TELLS YA!

Lol, Darkage, KT was right to recruit you for DatDB. My god, I knew that we were getting a good ANI artist, but I HAD NO IDEA you could do stuff of this quality! Damn, it even blows Volition's movies out of the water!

Dude, Darky, that reminds me, have you read my scripts yet? ;7

You call that a render?! YOU SUCK!!!

... Before you all break out the flame throwers, I'm obviously kidding.  Nice one, Darkage.  Like the new RBC shot too.
:wink: :yes:

Post by: Stunaep on November 17, 2002, 04:26:38 am
ah, pretty stuff. i like.

One thing though. Instead of TV resolution, use Widescreen resolution. Looks cooler.
Title: Animation finished !
Post by: Darkage on November 17, 2002, 06:01:33 am
WOW !!

Thanks for the replyes makes mee feel good:nod:
A widescreen version, hmmm...ok:D

CodeDog:

You need the latest Divx codec.

Very nice dark, very nice indeed. However, you've got a problem with the planet. You have it as an actual object in the scene, which means it can have shadows cast on it. Take a look at the frames after you zoom by the first Mjolnor, the planet gets cast in shadows, and if you look closely, you can see the shadow of one on the planet.

But still, verry good!

Title: Nitpicking...
Post by: Starfury on November 17, 2002, 08:50:40 am
Don't know if it's intentional or not... I was watching it a second time, and there are a couple of shadows on Earth or whatever planet that suddenly lift.. a major one at 5 secs and an rbc shortly after... in case its something you need to fix. If not, ignore me :p ;)

No i mean they are bloody good, but are they now fast firing low damage thingies or like fast firing same damage etc. Why change from the slower style in fs2?
