Post by: Darkage on September 05, 2002, 05:25:21 am

This is the first time i used the Centauri Primus battle cruiser whit mass drivers mounted on it:D

You'll see the bombing from space and from the planet.

The pics below wil give you a impression of that;)

Sigh... too bad my sounds aren't working. :sigh:

But even without, it's awesome! :eek2::yes: Mass driver seems to be pretty powerful weapon. :D
 
They're only bombarding at one spot, though. And nothing seems to happen?

I know;)

I was more aiming at the effect of the mass driver instead of things on the surface being blasted apart.

I am already taking notes and making a plan for a assault on earth. It wil begin whit a small earth fleet and the GOD satalites
firing etc the remaining earth ships are destroyed by the Centauri Vorchan attack cruisers, some of them are going to be blasted apart by missiles and the particle beam from the GOD satatlites.
Then 6/7 jumpoints open whit the Primus battle cruisers whit mass drivers and start to bombard earth. The rest of it i wil keep as a surprise:D

I am prety much redoing the animation, like camera movement and stuff, adding some laser fire and fighters, maby some missiles
to make it more fun to watch.

Magic my son:p

The shockwaves are easy to make and animate.

But i made it look like the shockwaves are exploding on the planet
but what i did i just moved them as close to the planet as posible and animated them how i wanted them to be:)

And from the planets surface i just loaded the Mass driver projectile and let the shockwave apear when the projectile disapears. the small clouds are made whit skytracer2.

see how simple it is?:D

I made the shockwave in about a hour, it still has abit of procederals on the skirts of the wave, but other then that it's a complete model.

Hehehe....you realy want to read 8 pages of instructions?:)

Maby i'll write a TUT on how i made it.


But to make a movie requires some of the basic skills and some other nasty stuff;)

i used Lightwave 7.5 for this animation.

Impressive! :nod: :yes:

Will be adding more effects, like fire and dust, to the planet-side bits (when you see the impact from the planet)?
