should look like the FS ****secenes IMHO, not worse, not better. good quality, not crap, not incredible, quite easy to achieve.. Models are not very high polys ( most of them are beefed up actual low poly models I think, in the FS cutscenes, save for the Apollo in FS1 intro -funny, they have a high poly version of the Medusa, but still used the low poly one for the FS2 intro... odd? )

THey probably lost the model

Klingon Academy used the same engine as SF academy because they LOST the source code.. Idiots.  So thats why the game was a bug-ridden POS.

Either way..we can do better than the FS cutscenes if only cuz our machines are way faster these days. (plus personally i didnt much like the look of them...but thats just me)

I'll do concept work on TSI ships.

Aim for similar levels of detail as the Volition concept art, or higher if you like.  

maybe try doing a worksheet..basically kind of a thingy that shows the development...cut out bits o paper and all the hardpoints for weapons, systems etc.

Supercool idea!
Superimpossible to make a reality!

I wish I could see one though, it would be awesome.

IMPOSSIBLE. concepts are perfect in every way.

Something big exploding

If you want a lightshow, think of the Battle of Taron. The part where I jumped meson bombs into the Sol command ships.

Just take out the part where I still lose.

[Zeronet]

Takes 4 meson bombs to take a capital ship out.

[Mr. Vega]

Unless you hit the main reactor. I'm not just ramming them, I'm jumping into them.

Just sign on the dotted line and.......*trails off*

Ha! I knew it! You do work for the devil.

If this is happening, Don't let anyone else concept my NIPC/FTC ships!

[WMCoolmon]

I'd like to say that it might work better with an intro like LOTR...

Many years ago, the galaxy was not united as it is today. For hundreds of years, warlords fought for control of the known galaxy. To accomplish this, the warlords targeted the forces guarding subspace nodes in order to cut off living essentials to these systems. This (300?) year period was deemed...*Title appears*...the Node Wars.

[Setekh]

Wow, now this is a nice looking effort. I could probably pitch in some 2D art for use in the scenes.

Hmmmm, very Shogun.

For thousands of years the Human race expanded, advancing in every field or science and the arts in it's eternal struggle for peace and prosperity. They conquered the land, the oceans and the skies and once their own world had fallen under a veil of peace they took to space. They continued to push further into the void, strip-mining their home system to quench their undying thirst for raw materials with which to expand. Soon their system was barren and once more their world was plunged into chaos as they began fighting for resources in a civil war of unthinkable proportions. Then, on they very eve of their extinction the gods handed them a life-line in the form of subspace. Once again they were flooded with an abundance of resources and space in which to expand, but they were no longer alone in the universe. New technologies and a race named the Vasudans fueled the dark side of the Humans and the time honoured cycle of destruction began again. Where once they fought for villages, towns and countries they now fight for entire star systems, for immense stellar anomolies known as nodes which allowed inter-system travel and for dominance over all others. Sticks and rock have been replaced with weapons of unimaginable power capable of destroying entire worlds. This is a time of darkness, of treaties and alliances. This is the time of NodeWars.

If anyone's seen Mission To Mars, for the visuals think along the lines of when they're shown the evolution of man.

[Zeronet]

Setekh could do the box or the starting credits.

[wEvil]

Lets do a preview trailer!

say...not longer than 1.5 mins' worth of animation.

DVD-resolution 16:9 anamorphic (thats widescreen, something like 762x437)

I'll leave it to everyone else to work out some shots but lets' try to have something pertaining to everyones' faction in there to be fair?

[Zeronet]

Some of this stuff could be used for the website. Like a interactive map, where you can click on planets and learn the population, but that'd probably need to be flash.
