[Edit: done.
It looks pretty basic to me. What about having some non-linear fly paths and some fighters/bombers swarming around? If you have some extra time, add some camera-movement.]

it was _just_ a test

Downloading now.......
Next time, Kazan, please indicate the file size of the video clip. Sometimes, I need to know how long its going to take to download just by looking at the file size.
Anyway, should be quite interesting. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Okay. I've watched the entire movie clip. Not bad. But you could try to make the two ships move a bit more than just passing each other......

Good... I wish I could make animations like that..
The Shivan beam kinda looks a little plain... shouldn't it be bigger and have a more noticable white center? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Explosions should be added as well, though I realize this is just a test, in that case GREAT JOB!

I dunno how to do good explosions yet with the tools i have

Maybe you could try emailing the people who created the animation for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

So that's why I could see it. I thought it didn't need DivX. I didn't even realize I had DivX installed.

Well, the funny thing is that I DO have the DIVX decompressors, I watch DIVX movies all the time, so it seemed strange to me to get that error message.
*rolleyes*
-

It's bad practise to presume that everyone knows this Kazan, a lot of ppl are using the plugin for mediaplayer which is bloody unhelpful when it can't read certain filetypes.
Everyone should try to give as much info as possible when releasing this kind of thing, there's a good reason why "idiots guide to" books sell so well (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I was rolling my eyes because i've never released a video in anything other than DivX

And of course, everyone has all the habits of Mighty Kazan fully memorized. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)
As for the video... I got an amazing sense of deja vu from it... I'm sure I've seen something just like that somewhere else before... but where? Hmmmm.... Oh.... yeah!

Kazan: Just a suggestion, but next time could you zip it down for those of us that don't have broadband?

It's already compressed foo
Zylone - that was completely 3D .. i just didn't fine tune it... shrike wanted a beamfight so i tossed one togeather
-
Just watched the movie, and noticed a couple of things:
1. The beams don't fade. They just disappear immediately.
2. The tip of the green beams can be seen just past the Ravana on two occasions. At 13 seconds, and 24 seconds.
3. No engine glows! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Suggestions: Have up-close views of the ships firing! You can use three cameras to do this. One camera focuses on the Hecate, one on the Ravana, and one somewhere close enough to see the two ships fight. You can do this using VPost in 3dsmax. (assuming thats what you use) If you want, get with me sometime on ICQ and I'll show you what I mean in detail. However, i'm afraid that I'm gonna have to cut this post short due to another damned thunderstorm.

Nex thing you know, we'll all want Kazan to develop a FreeSpace CGI movie. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
