Another Traveller Mini-Movie

[Andrew Boulton]

"I thought it was turning the other way (port around the hill)."

Hmm...it is a little hard to tell at first, but right at the end you can see the nose getting closer. I may extend the scene a little to make it clearer.

"Additionally, after taking out the gunner on the beach, the vessel makes quite a sharp turn to port and up."

I think it's actually less sharp than the turn towards the gunner.

Do you got a script for the Striker story, Andrew? I just watched the updated film, and I want to know out it ends. I'm rooting for our striker buds, but it looks like a tough row is left to hoe. How does it end? Can you give us the spoiler or not?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Are the two films connected in any way?

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Nope.

 

[Spud]

Argggghh! I can't get the link to work. PLease help! Anyone... Sounds like fun.

The second film is at http://www.cix.co.uk/~fubar/Traveller/striker5s.avi - I just tried it and it worked okay. What error are you getting?

 

[IronCzar]

Wow. That's friggin' specatacular. I want more!

 

[Andrew Boulton]

I'm working on it (although I keep getting distracted ATM).

 

[fredofmars]

More! More! Please...

Y'know, one day I'm going to get a T-Shirt with that printed on it!

It'll probably be on my tombstone...

I'll give Hunter a prod about webspace.

Meanwhile, this is what I'm working on - an improved Far Trader model. The scoops and central hull are left over from an older version, but the rest is new. The top deck is finished, the bottom deck about 50%.

Has anyone ever seen a pic of the rear or underside? I can't find any.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Still no movie progress (Hunter seems to have done one of his regular disappearing acts), but here's my updated Marava...

 

[Scarecrow]

Mmmmmmm..... Looks groovy!

I like the transparent (mesh) ramp.

I like the little touches. Like the registration number, and the (what appear to be) flourescent strips underneath for mooring. (They look like the flourescent strips on many AF planes to aid in formation flying - a lot easier to judge distance with than a dark plane painted in low-observability gray when doing it at night.)

 

[Andrew Boulton]

You mean the yellow stripe? I just thought it looked cool...

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Hey, you now have an explanation (cause it DOES look cool).

A little animation of the ship landing, to test the landing gear and cargo hatch:

Cool. What about animating that guy there - maybe as part of another mini-movie?
