Title: Command Briefing animation thingy.
Post by: Stunaep on May 02, 2002, 01:52:44 pm

Cooked this up a week ago or so. Just thought, I'd let you have it. 'cuz I sure would like to hear you comments. It's on a stupid slow spaceports server though, so I'd be happy if someone could host it ;)

Anyway, save target as...  here (http://galileo.spaceports.com/~stunaep/CommandB.avi)

Hah. Baseball isn't really a sport anyway. It's an excuse to have baseball hats, so loan sharks and mafia goons could carry something blunt and heavy around and look like they weren't off to so some knee-shatterin'.

Back to the animation.... You need to move the rotation axis over more towards the center of the ship so the head dosn't swing off screen near the end... Those graphs that are just random could use some work... but in some green text background dribble like in the fs2 ones.

Yes....being oppressed by baseball jocks(traps) and FUNKYMANPHAT! :D meh, he's never on HLP anyway. He's cool though.
Anyway, I think that .avi was really good. The only part that bugged me was when the Perseus flew straight into the camera...it was wierd. Good job though! :yes2::D:yes:

I give this 5 more seconds to load before I close out, trace your IP, sack and burn your village, pillage all your worldly possessions, rape your livestock, and probably throw spears at you.

I mean really, this is taking forever.

I first clicked on it normally and it said that, after which I tried the "save target as" thing. It just showed the "getting file information" window for a while and then gave a timeout error. (happened twice)

The begining is cool, but the pereus going trough camera view, i don't like. The background looks kinda fake and kinda static it does't give me the feeling there actualy flying/flowting in space.
But keep practiceing.;)


But overal i give it a rateing of 7.5/10 :yes: nice job
