Post by: Darkage on August 06, 2003, 12:41:05 pm
After visiting Eon3d.com after a long time i found a made a nice pack of First Ones from B5. SO i animated one:D

Download animation (http://www.swooh.com/premium/Darkage/Training.avi)


Any comments?

I did improve some of the movement and added some returning fire.


Codec: Divx 5.5

quality is top notch as usual :yes:
but I'm not so sure about the camera movement... maybe it should go faster behind the ships or you should place something on the background so that one could see how the camera moves with the ships for a moment.

Cool! :cool:

Maybe it's my montor settings, but I found it a bit dark. Also you may want to smooth out the ani of the fighter to the left.

Cheers! :)

Nope, it's not your monitor settings;) it's indeed abit dark. Yeah it's movement when it comes out of the role is abit blocky, i smoothed it out but didn't render it yet. I'll try to rerender it tomorrow or the weekend.

That be one of the season 1 eps. Couldn't be Signs and Portents, could it? Or maybe it was Mind War?

Just checked Lurker's, it was indeed Mind War. But it also appeared in Third season Voices of Authority and several fourth season eps.

Anyone else think it odd that apparently all non-Shadow/Vorlon First Ones do is scoot around the galaxy in Big Ships With Big Guns? And only one ship per race, please!

All of the First Ones (minus the Shadows/Vorlons) supposedly left this galaxy thousands of years before, only a few stayed.
As for the big ships with big guns, well.. what do you think a few thousand years of R&D would come up with?

aren't the weapons glows supposed to disappear after the ships have shot?
