I had totally forgotten about this thing.... back about 5 years ago (damn), when I was heavy into EV, makin' my own plug an' such, I made this animation of one of my ships, which gets into a fight with an argosy. Old school animation--'s funny, can't believe how long ago that was. Was only like 15 or so....but anyways, anyone who actually checks it out, lemme hear any comments. And just so you know, the movie will load differently depending on your connection prefs for the quicktime plugin (ie. faster connection = bigger movie).

It gave me an unknown system error -2000

My decision is maybe, and that's final!

That was fun! And you did this five years back? Very nice.

Yeah, both me and my brother (who was about 11/12 at the time) made animations after working on a plugin. If I can manage to dig his up I might post it too. I've done others since (different subjects though), and have gotten much better at animating, but never manage to finish them anymore.

I'm the only one that's getting a -2000 error? :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

Well, i encoded it with sorenson, so if you don't have at least quicktime 3, you won't be able to view it.

No, it was not five years ago. EV will turn four next month. You have NOT been here for five years.

And BTW, excellent camera work.

Wow. Some pretty anal people here. Ok, it was about 4 years ago, which (at least to me) is still a really long time.

Reg is typically either anal, just plain weird, or uninteligable.

Could I have an order of Discboard with that?

Who cares WHEN he made its that fact that he finished it that is pretty cool. I always make it through like halfway and then stop because I am sick of making frames then pick it up a year or two later and it is so crappy compared to what I can do now that I throw it away and start again. I need perseverence lessons or something.

Thanx Matrix. I hear ya guy, I've begun at least 3 other major animations (ie. > 1 min) since, and haven't managed to complete a single one of them. And they're so much nicer looking and detailed than those older ones. I mean, you can even see the difference in the two i did finish; the second one has more substance, and I was better at modeling the stuff. Maybe i'll post my unfinished ones too.....

------------------

Nice, although if you wanted to make it like really nice, add soud, speed up the first flying around and hypering out. Maybe make ripples where the lasers hit sheilds, make the laser fire from the ?hawk? more visible, or more in quantity, and make the explosions at the end more explosive, leaving damage on the Argosy (black marks, splotchs, etc).
I know enough about animation to know these would probably take more effort than it's worth, however. Oh, and I like the tail fire.

Anyway, it is nice. Have you done anything with more complex ships like the Rebel Cruiser (I think it is the coolest).
