Ensuance - Prelude to a Space Battle

This was a school project of mine back in 2006. From the first meshes to the first showing of the finished project, it took al of 6 months. All of the meshes, textures (except for the planet), animation, sound editing and the musical score were done by me.

Feel free to comment. I'm still rather proud of it.

Sorry I'm an absolute noob at lightwave, could you tell me, do you use bones to make the cannons move on the ship and do they have to be modelled seperately or can you move that individual part from a finished complete model of the ship?

[oS2006DE]

@conmanguyler Bones. With the way that pivots work between modeler and layout, you'd have to re-position the turrets when you load them into layout...a headache I didn't need. Bones offered a way to work with them right where they were at.

This is really good!

Now someone's posted it on the swtor forums as well so don't be surprised if you get a whole lot more views now.

Let's have the space battle itself now please!

[oS2006DE]

@george21021994: Yeah, I know the guy; views have already begun to ramp up. :)

No promises on the main fight, it's an even bigger undertaking than this was, but thank you for expressing the wish to see it happen.

Well happy to see the views have amped up. i'm soory it's not that many more views. the community forums on the swtor website are not as well populated.

BTW This is ryan

@ryanc0boy: No worries. It is built, they will come. :)

Thanks again!

looks like Battlestar galactica( the new one)

[39penrose]

Wow, amazing work. Really enjoyed that. Makes me hopeful that one day a continuation of star wars movies will go ahead, say an alternate story line from say a troop on the ground during the battle if hoth. With this level if talent out there, I think it's very possible. Looking forward to more

[godday11]

cool! and make some more :D

[vinskiize]

Very well done. I also see you like Battlestar Galactica.

[Potrimpo]

Star Wars ships with BSG combat tactics. FAR superior to the prequels.

[thedarkarcon4]

WOW!

[Perion]

Very impressive, though I do find it odd that the Venators used their heavy guns rather than their anti starfighter guns, also with 4 Venators they should be able to launch well over 1600 Fighters with ease.

Did you make the models yourself or download them?

[UrgedCRUSHER]
