what about the trailer??

what about the trailer??
The idea is to first work things into graphic novels and then start making animations from these graphic novels. Sort of like mangas like Naruto. They create both a manga and an anime of the same episodes, but started a bit later with the anime.

This is about what we are doing. We are still planning to work everything into animations, but at the moment its not practical or achievable, else we would have. Resources are just to low and we do have to stay realistic about our goals.

The trailer is still on the creation list by the way. But it is so complex that we are just not able to finish it yet. There are so many dynamics in the scenes, like water, explosions, and what more that we would rather wait a little and have more options than to create an animation that would look half as good as what we are capable of 6 months later.

At the moment, most of us are working on objects that can be used in almost any scene in the graphic novel or series/trailers. Because things like spaceships, main characters and so on is pretty general.

ah, good to hear that its still in the works

#1004

Wow Victor thats an impressive model. Great work!!
I´m still having troubles with this ceph battleship since i know almost nothing about size and purpose of the ship…
so some more infos or close-ups would be very helpfull.

#1005

Hi Günther,

The ship is huge, but if i have time this week, i will do some concepts for you.

#1006

Perhaps , we could dogma, use 2D elements and a mixture of 3D as well…
what say you? :slight_smile:

#1007

Hiya guys,

Nice to many of us here.

MaxFX…I think thats a cool idea. Like a digital matt painting with 3D…just a thought :slight_smile:

#1008

yeah!, that’s what i am talking about

#1009

OK…how bout some samples then?

#1010

Sure…I will have a play and see what I can come up with…:slight_smile:

#1011

soooooo, what happened to the aegis site?

#1012

Hiya guys I am still here, been doing some work for Flatlinestudios on the Half-life mod. I will have to get a matt/3D painting done soon :slight_smile:

Whats everyone else upto??

#1013

i’ve done a little nibbling on the sanguine XM-13 model. trying to get some real world things accomplished. wondering what happened to the website. it’s not visible in the u.s. currently, how bout anywhere else?

somebody must have spilled a drink on the server…
:beer:

#1014

apparently we have reached our 54GB / Monthly traffic limit!!!
that means we had a lot of ppl download from our site or just viewing all the photos!
I am resolving this right now!

#1015

Personally, i have been busy with school. Have some deadlines coming up. And i am also programming a 3D chess game, just for fun ( it will be something like battlechess, but then 3D! ). Hehe, it works pretty well already. Maybe i will show some screens to you guys later on, when i get those damn shadow mapping shaders implemented! :wink:

I am still working on some things for Aegis. So don’t worry. Shouldn’t Dene have been back by now? Anyway. Mark if you are still interested in doing a paint over, i have a good idea, lets do a fighting scene with the bullnose and ceph destroyer movie poster!

If you can create an interesting perspective setup and a rough painting of how the scene should look. Then i will render the models to be placed in the scene and then you can paint it over with different effects again.

Sounds good?

#1016

don’t look at me, i just see if there are any new posts…

think, aegis:2375 is famous and we really haven’t done anything yet!

i wanna help with the poster too!
:cry:

#1017

I have actually started writing music for the website. Just to let you know, I’m still around :)!

you are making a chess program too?? cool! Are you coding all the AI as well? Did you see the thread for my chess program? http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=196371

there is a link there and you can download the source. I haven’t finished the AI yet but I’m still working on it. will your program be open source?

The first version will not have any AI in it. At least i am not planning to. This is more of a graphical test for me and looking at how i can make a chessgame interesting and fun to look at for younger people. ( because most find it a bit dull :slight_smile: )

It will be playable through the internet and i will keep ladders on my site. At least thats the plan. This allows strong players to play against eachother, things like that.

I might add AI in later versions. I do have all the chess states programmed, wel except for one. Thats the one where the board is in the same state 3 times. I haven’t done that one yet, but i will soon. :slight_smile: I am concentrating on getting a nice gui at the moment. Hehe.

I haven’t decided yet if it will be open-source. Because well, i first have to make sure the code is clean enough to release. :slight_smile: But i might.

@filmcomposer:

Cool man! I have not found the right look yet for the site. I was experimenting, but it didn’t look right. So i am trying some new things.

@monday:

Finish those planets so we can integrate them into the poster. :wink:

#1020

Hiya guys, just got back from up the coast…did some graphics on a mates car.

I am keen to do that paint over, If you do a dramatic dogfight scene with the bullnose heading towards us and the ceph swooping in for the kill…maybe part of the red planet in the background…:slight_smile:
