Title: Attack on Zha dum
Post by: Darkage on November 25, 2002, 04:30:07 pm

It's been a while since i made a B5 render so here go's.
I forgot to add motionblur in LW it self, so i added some in Photoshops:)

(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/darkage/zattack1.jpg)

I could have made the image better but i couldn't be arsed to do it. Didn't feel like to render it all over again. And i am abit sick so not much motivation there;)

Click the image for a 1920*1080 resolution.

Go to (www.meshweaver.com) this site where you can download the ACTA hyperspace effect. And some other neat B5 meshes.

It's at the VERY end only for a second. Ivanava (sp?) gets transferred to commanding a Warlock. It's sort of a "to help get her mind off Marcus' death".

Thanks ... already found a few good ones. Luckily they're loading and rendering ... since it stated they were Max R 4  meshes and R3 doesn't handle R4 well :|

Anyways I'm off to Ohio with my GF for Turkey day .... you guys have a great holiday/week,......cya Sunday!

.............IIRC Anna Sheridan said it was over 10,000 letters long or something to that effect.
