OMG!! That's sweet!!
Very nice work on the vfx! Especially the gun barrages from the Galactica are cool!

[Stevio]

BSG FANS UNITE! :D
:smitten:

Terrific work, i want BSG NOW!!!!! :evil:

[Mokonzi]

Very nice job Mox! It's trailers like that that may get me into BSG!

[Elffin]

Classy stuff....... - keep it up!!

[Stevio]

Moko... not... a... BSG... Fan?...

:o gosh dang it mox, right when i leave you bring this back? lovely ships, and i love the particle trail bullets (i should since they look oddly familiar :lol:)

the explosions look like they could use a bit of work, but i think thats prbly just me being picky, need to go watch more bsg to figure out how they actually look :) , might have a couple spare hours over the holidays if you want me to take a looksy :wink:

[Mox]

Glad you like it Syk!
Note that it's all pretty much very early WiP, actually nothing is finished.
The trails are scaled down HMG's (in cpu-terms) with hightenend lengths...there are still some issues with it (like dissapearing!!)...which are currently left on the shelve until I can muster some R&D quality time.
The explosions need TONS of work, completely agree there..infact these
are basic ES explosions I just used for a quick reffy...they need some more smoke, probably faster dissapearing on the point defence guns and more/slower on the big ones...more layers with stuff going about too.

The Basestar is pretty crap (as Mish pointed out most annoyingly but Oh so correct....hmm, why is Mishra ALWAYS right in these matters?? :D) and will be redone completely since it's kind of an eyecatcher after all..just not realy my thing..Ive always found them odd and completely uninteresting in comparisson to the Colonial ships...then again 10x better then a TOS Basestar so Ill shut up.

Currently working on Peg's lightmap which is a pain but coming along nicely nontheless...I'm also going to darken her a lill...Peg isnt made out of polywaxed silver metal..she's actually not so reflective at all..as are all BSG ships.

Feel commited to nothing but it goes without saying that any spare time you can muster for this project is a welcome addition to it O0 :wink:

[hawkbs]

That Basestar looks great Mox. How close is that to being finished? Just wondering whether to stop work on mine or not and start on some of the others in the fleet. I need to redo that Colonial One of mine and the Raptor. Oh btw that Flattop of Coxxons needs to be mirrored also as its wrong. Apart from that I cant really see any other faults with his models. Love his texture on Colonial One.

[Ravenholme CP42]

Awesomeness, can't really say much more.

[Mox]

OP updated with short teaser of conceptual barrage/flakfield for Galactica's point defence batteries.

[Mokonzi]

Awesome job Mox!

I really think we have some movie grade clips here...

Maybe we can help with the new BSG series? :evil:

[Stevio]

oops i got carried away while watching this last night and forgot to post :o

Excellent stuff mox, looks very very nice :)

-----

its a shame SKY™ doesn't have a clue when they are gonna start airing S3 over here

SERIES 3 START ON SKY ONE
Series 3 of Battlestar Galactica will start in January on Sky One - there is no confirmed date just yet.

As soon as there is, we will let you know! :)

Rumours on the forum has it that it is planned for 10th January 2007, however it is also speculated it will only be shown in HD :(

[Syklon]

very nice looking, from the looks of it you took the idea i used for the xtended flak and did it times about 20? hows the performance on that?

also some the bullets look like the aren't pointing in the right direction somehow (like theyre pointing down at like a 30 degree angle from the way they are going) :?

o and stevio ill trade w/ you since i have to dodge watching BSG S3 commercials when watching Dr Who on Sci-Fi since I've been drawing S2 out as long as possible since I got such a late start

[Stevio]

Yeah now you mention it the bullets are pointing diagonally from the direction they are fired, but not all of them :?
------------
Syk>
its like that with me and S10 of SG1 i missed the first 3 episodes of S10 and i can't bring my self to watch the rest until i have seen them first

they probably won't be repeated for quite some time :-\

[Mox]

The flakfield isnt used from anything old, infact it uses a totally new setup, greatly reducing lag but it goes without saying current performance hit is still quite significant...too much infact, but I'm confident it can be made to both look good and still be playable on a medium rig.

The bullets not facing the right direction is due to a similar performance-reducement trick..they are also too big at this stage.
Ill work on them a lill more.

[goyo]

WOW!!! :o

What type of weapon fire from BSG? (not the flak)

[Aragon Speed]

<Betty> System Failure! .... Critical Mass! </Betty>

[Mishra]

I do own one but it seems to be stuck on Bold and the Beautifull and ATWT.

Me too...

But the mod looks cool, perhaps I'll install a 5th copy of X3 for this mod on my HD ^^

[bojan]

Absolutely beautiful mox!!!!

I have a question (it doesn't go into this section)
I was playing around with hawkbs ships. Does anybody
know how to "persuade" a ship to build wares (ships)
you choose?

Tx.

Keep the good work

[DataAngelis]

Holy Cow! Moxz thats the best Model i've seen of the Galactica to date! there was someone doing the same thing using the old Freespace2 engine think it was called (Beyond The Red Line) or something like that! based around the time Scar was about in Season 2
the demo was good the engine is dated :P
I also believe that the project was scaped.

Mox if you can pull it off you'll make me a very happy Galactica fan!
*salute*

Wow Mox... Outstanding! You guys never cease to impress. I wish I had someone to teach me how to do this. Unfortunately I have to leave this sort of things to you professionals.

I'm having a ball with the BSG ships as it is, but now I can't wait until the mod is ready to go.

Great work!

[Light Darkness]

Very beautifull Vid.
Awesome.

Keep the great work up...
