  • well, ok, lets try and take this logical... whos dream? if its mine, a world has been created yet, otherwise I wouldn't be the one who is dreaming, because dreaming implies that I exist in a place where I can be awake and interact with my surroun…
  • um not to rain on your parade, but Rangitoto was created by a eruption roughly 600 years ago, with more eruptions (according to one theory) to follow for up to 200 years ago (see: [URL=http://www.arc.govt.nz/volcanic/rangitotoform.htm]Volcanoes of A…
  • Well, you still float through the stations/ships... with crashing I just meant that.
  • well, I managed to get it to work... deinstalled and reinstalled the card drivers, and now it works fine - beats me what was the problem here, the version of the drivers I had installed were the same as those I downloaded and installed. Thanks for y…
  • Cinema XL 7 all the way, and Photoshop/Freehand for textures. Tried the Lightwave demo and Blender, but couldn´t make heads or tails of them... got to little spare time on my hands to figure them out. Next on my list will probably be the Maya Pers…
  • hmm... I really would like to take at look at these models, but I can´t get to that site, I only get a page saying the domain was registered at some register company, but thats about it [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/confused.gif[/img] tried …
  • ummm... thats a bit of a high mach number, don´t you think? At sealevel, Mach 1 equals approx. 300m/s, thats roughly 984ft/s or 671 mi/h so, eith these values we end up with: Mach 7= 7*330 = 2310 m/s Terminal Velocity = 194,705 m/s thats not…
  • nice image, but one things odd... it seems like the shadows are missing. did you turn shadowcasting off? also, the color scheme is a bit..., hmmm, lets say, a bit too uniform over the main parts o the station, but that´s just my 2 cents
  • ok, got bored at work, so heres my entry: Strip: [img]http://members.chello.at/michael.ista/fury/logo_fury.gif[/img] Full image: [img]http://members.chello.at/michael.ista/fury/fury_tn.jpg[/img] enjoy [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainf…
  • dusting off the old images... man, its been ages since I opened my 3d app - anyhow, here´s my entry: Mitchell-Hyundyne XSA-29 "Aardvark" Built: 2271 Pilot: 1 Length: 9,625m Width: 10,684m Height: 4,186m Weapons: 2 40mm pulse discharge …
  • falcon1: I got the full xl7 version, and yes, _im_porting stuff from lw/max is quite easy [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] (I say quite, it can take some time to sort out texture mapping problems and similar stuff...). but impor…
  • A2597: yes, actually, I plan on releasing the model (and do that before people start besieging my home - all that noise and chanting and stuff is a bit annoying, so I´d like to avoid it if possible... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif…
  • thanks a bunch, guys, glad you like it. slade: I know, it looks a bit unproportional, but hey, thats artistic license (yeah, right...) [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]. But to be honest: I spent hours trying to figure out w…
  • Well, the image is one of the hundreds from NASA´s Hubble telescope images (can be found at http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/. A great resource for stellar backgrounds. I think I found it somewhere in the 1999 section, but I´m not sure. Unfortunatel…
  • damned, you caught me... actually, I´d didn´t notice it up until now (really! I promise!). Personally I think, some guy at NASA (i got them from the Hubble ST homepage) made this nebula up, cause he was pissed at his boss or something... -…
  • Cool, someone wants my images! You can find them at my site at http://allerleirauh.thomasson-project.cx/~mike/, inside the 3D-section (where else...), as long as you include my credits. There are 3 res of those images, going up to 1600x1200 pixel…
  • Yea, i have to agree. I saw those images back a while on the finalfantasy site... They had the closeup-shot of the womans eye as startup. It took me a while to figure out this was a rendered image - all those little wrinkles and stuff, just looked l…
  • there are three versions at 3dcafe's free stuff site, in the aircraft section. One is even with boosters and tanks, though i dont know really how good the quality is. One problem, though, the meshes are 3DS file format, so you might get trouble open…
  • a good starting point is Evilio´s B5 Model Index. There are links to most models made of B5 ships, as well as their conversions for different 3d-applications. most of the meshes are lightwave models, how many of them are max ones, i dont know. You m…
  • ok, fixed the codec (hope so). Somehow my version of quicktime lacked all the indeo codecs, but now i got em. I only hope it´s not too dark, it looked pretty black on my companies pc... btw, which codecs do you use for platform-independent renderin…
  • Looks great! Some nitpicking, though [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/wink.gif[/img] : the weapon fire seems to be a bit too thin, and (perhaps it´s just me, but) maybe rotate the left vortex a bit towards the camera (to get rid of the hard…
  • damn... but not entirely surprising. better get my credit card and order those miniatures I´m missing while they still last... (didn´t play much, but I always liked those miniatures). I´m pleasantly surprised though, that there will be another B…
  • looks nice... a few nitpickings, though, but those have already been mentioned. one big thing: i don´t know for what browser versions in mind you designed the site, but with Netscape 4.78 (on a macintosh, that is), the site is totally screwed up …
  • anyone noticed that amazon.co.uk list In the Beginning and the Gathering as separate disks, each with a price of 18.99 GBP, making that 37,98 GBP for both movies? Ain´t that a bit overpriced (considering the region 1 version with both films on one d…
  • This link takes you to a site where rce-discs are listed (the same address as my aboce post). Don´t know how accurate the listing is, but if so, then it seems as if there are not that many rce-discs out there.
  • Basically, I think it´s the same with DVD-Rom drives. afaik, the disc itself tells the player to check for region coding on the drive. If the drive is set to "no region", the disc refuses to play. But on computers, there might be a possibility to t…
  • took me a while to notice that thread (and to find the time to do something about it)... Well, here´s my go at your request: Furies from the sun I only hope its not to dark for you pc folks (damn gamma correction!)... [img]http://216.15.145.…
  • .... oh crap... at least we went down fighting. thanks to all developers, who tried their bext to give us what we wanted to have - B5:ITF - you did a real great job. i wish you good luck on your future projects! and i truly hope, that first…
  • mmmmhh.... t-shirts! count me in if they´re cool-looking. btw, what about black shirts w/ S14 Print on the front/left breast and the Into the fire (the one from Marc´s homepage) logo on the back? madmaniac ------------------ Chaos, pan…
