It looks like its sitting on top of solid water (not ice). hey, the nose looks really cool with the blue tips.

[Nico]

well, it's neither ice or water it's, hmm... a plane with a reflective map and a smoke procedural and, yeah, well, voila, yeah, wasn't meant to look like anything
"runs"

Yay for American stealth-space fighters!

[icespeed]

I know its just a random plane, Nico... you just managed to put water ripples on it while making it look smooth. It's cool.

Put up some more designs and planes and stuff.

edit: i mean, the first plane was referring to the surface plane. the second plane was referring to the machines. (sigh for english ambiguity.)

Poumpoumpoum.
Been away skiing for a week. Well, actually, just went to the moutains with my parents, bro and bro's g/friend, I don't like skiing, and... ah well, whatever. Brought my laptop, but forgot to put saves of my stuff on it, so I started new things ( stuff, things, you see the trend? ). I also changed my mind for my lil pet project ( I do that often, this time decided not t waste my time on a useless space battle scene and start the begining of my story instead. " shivers at the thoughts of voice acting" ), which makes the Wraith useless. Yeah for mind-changing!
anywayyyyyyyyy:

The Runabout class... erm... ship. The most common large ship you can find in space, first used during the first trips on Mars ( Bush doings? ) then it's been constantly improved. This one is a ore processor varient. It carries a little ship that goes mining asteroids ( large asteroids are blown up to pieces then being "rafined" ), the runabout processes the interesting stuff out of the chunks the small ship brings back.
Then you have:

Meiya's head, at the age of 9 ( Her age at the begining )

Meiya's head, at the age of 16 ( no real need for that one, just felt like doing it and that's it ).
Colours don't show the same on my laptop, that's annoying .

Hey, cool. Btw, when were you born, Venom? What year?

[Nico]

Thanks. Still no ICQ for you?

If you're calling it quits on the wraith, I wouldn't mind whacking about with it... *gets evil idea to bake textures and kill shivans in it*

[Nico]

No? it belongs to a different timeline, but that's it. Gonna keep it for later, but I'm still gonna finish it now anyway.

[Taristin]

Nope. I've decided that when I get a job and my own place then I'll open all communication neworks to the world again. Untill then I'll keep it to the minimum.

Are you going to try to animate facial gestures with point animation?

[Nico]

with morph targets, the facial animations.

Your post just reminded me of something I had to change, that's all...

[Nico]

I see

[Setekh]

[icespeed]

hey, glad to see you're back, hope you had a reasonably good time...

the runabout class erm ship looks like a space station, sort of. only really there's not much difference between space stations and ships, really, except ships move a bit faster.

meiya's cuter at nine.

(_purple_ hair? why _purple_? why not something more usual like... blue?)

[Nico]

Time was ok, but call be weird, but I don't like much all that winter sports stuff. So I walked instead.


For the hair, well, I like purple hair I'm also an anime freak, so voila. As for the logical explanantion, OS is filled with mutants: Meiya's father is "clean", but her mother was a mutant, she had various "deviant" traits, and died from lung infections because of that. Meiya inherited of the hair pigmentation oddity, and is followed for more serious problems that might arise later, but for now ( as in "at the age of 9" ), she's considered a low level mutation "sample" ( the term is kind of pejorative but mutants in OS are not really well looked upon by normal peoples ). Jervis Jaeger / Julien Jorrel ( Meiya's father's friend ) is also a mutant, but in more severe state. He suffers from hair and skin depigmentation, various health problems and is treated for skin cancer. Most mutants in OS ( 1 out of 3 children born on Earth are mutants ) suffers from various physical incapacities ( OS is not X-Men... ), but sometimes it can have more likeable results, tho nothing to drastical or anything. Almost half the mutants are sterile, for exemple. As for why there's so many mutants, well, just know that Earth in OS isn't exactly as nice as it is for us ( not that living on Mars is much better tho ).
