B5 animation - Raider sweep!

JusaJusa Trainee
in Zocalo v2.0
Hi!

Being a B5 fan with some graphical skills, I decided to try my luck with an animation. B5 theme was the obvious choice :) so I set up a simple story in my mind, imagined the possible scenes in my head and finally let myself loose! And today I'm happy to tell you that it's edited and finished!

The story behind the animation is quite simple. During the last few months, raiders have been harassing the shipping lines in the Janos sector. Earth Alliance military has been asked for help and has started a campaign to track down the raiders and get rid of them once and for all. And here we are... about to finish the business that the raiders had started.

The page telling a bit about the animation:

And the animation itself (23Mb, XviD codec)

Enjoy! :)

    hey there and welcome! beer is in the fridge and the nuts are all over the place:D

    oh man that is an awsome animation! only thing that i can critisise is the pulse cannons on the omega, as i recall they can t fire at the same time as the particle beams. but other than that, it was pretty damn sexy!:D

    Nice job. [img]http://forums.firstones.com/images/oldicons/icon14.gif[/img]
    Little smoother camera motions to couple points and it would be damn good.

    And welcome, here's always room for one more Finn.

    very nice, i wish i had talent.

    alas, all my lightwave skills allow me to do is animate a string.

    ShadowDancer, E.T., SpiritOne, thanks for your feedback, it's nice to join a forum like this (and in a way like this :))

    I hope I'll get some more out of myself so I can make another animation someday, with even better quality.
    And nice forums you got here, already feeling like home :)

    can you do an .mpg version ?

    I'm having trouble with codecs and mediaplayers etc.

    Fun animation. Few problems:

    1) The Omega's rotating section is spinning the wrong direction
    2) The Omega jumps out at the end using a blue jump point; it should be orange/yellow.
    3) When I went to see JMS with my roommate Jeff, Jeff had him sign his pocket bible (he also had Dr. Demento's signature in there; that's just the kind of guy Jeff is). JMS signed it: "J. M. Straczynsnki ([u]not[/u] God)"

    SB: Just a guess here, but these links might have what you need:

    Use [url=http://www.headbands.com/gspot/]this[/url] to find out what codecs are installed in your PC and what codecs video uses.
    If there are multiple codec-files registered to one type, try "deleting" those "excessive" codecs.
    Ie. move those files away from Windows\system(32).

    Oh well, that explains alot. :rolleyes: Still, I'm not saying a mac is a bad thing.

    And welcome Jusa, nice animation! :)

    Bekenn,

    1.) You're right :)
    2.) You're absolutely right :)
    3.) It was only a sign of respect... ok ok, maybe a bit overkill, but...

    Hmm, I guess I'm not as big fan as I thought when I didn't even notice the Omega's rotating direction :rolleyes: [I]*goes to read b5tech.com*[/I]

    For heaven's sake. Look up "Xvid" and "OS X" in Google. Can't leave you alone for a minute, can I?

    It's okay, the IFH team did the exact same thing in their credits.

    also if your having trouble finding a codec or just getting it to work right in windows media player or quicktime, try a dvd player program like power dvd, it worked great in there, fullscreen no less.
