Suicide Junkie
 

that would be a good opener to a scifi show or movie. Not for a pic because you would have to move the camera view to see the ground and slowly move up to that

Re: Suicide Junkie
 

A camera at ground level, looking up past the critters in the trees to see the spacebattle would work... probably best at night, I guess.

Idea accepted; the attachment has a preview of what's to come.

Ramming Speed!
 

1) A ram, just at the moment of impact, the explosive warheads on the rammer ship detonating in a huge explosion, and little guys sailing into space, screaming their Last from hemorrhaging lungs as they perish horribly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

2) The Kobayashi Maru! A historical scene, depicting Tiberius' Triumph http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

3) A spacedrop. Ground troops dropping from orbit, hundreds of tiny contrails as the outer ablative shielding begins to burn off...read the relevant sections of Starship Troopers for inspiration. Umm, I mean the book. I have no idea about the movie, I never saw it.

4) A planetary bombardment. One or more gunboats, loaded with Napalm V, pLastering the living **** out of a planet.

5) A ringworld. The star, a bold young yellow one, gleaming on the endless ribbon of earth, mountains, and lakes...

More or less done: Click on the attachment above to see the pic inspired by Joachim's idea.

It's a bit large though; 1.09 mbs.

Not at all.

HOLY CRAP! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif That is one good ship pic! I plan to try and learn rendering, but gets defeated by my plans to be as lazy as possible.
.....whoa....


P.S. For those who played the patched Escape Velocity, I would like to see those bat-like Diphidian Fighters. But....those are prolly too small to make out much detail.
