Freelancer Aces (WIP)

It's about time I upload this.

Originally intended as an experiment to render decent looking clouds at very little cost, it ballooned into the most ambitious project since the snowy video I made back in high school. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work on this for awhile. Partly because of time, partly because at the point where I stopped, the video had become exponentially more complex than I originally intended.

Has a working title of Freelancer Aces. It became a sort of combination of Freelancer and Ace Combat. Taking heavy cues from Ace Combat for the visual style of flying, and using the Freelancer assets in a setting they haven't really been used before was great fun.

I'm still not sure if this will ever be finished. I certainly want to, but it would require much fore-thought and time to finish it in a satisfactory manner. As I said before, any future scenes of this would be exponentially more complex to animate than the simple fly by animations that consist of most of it. I hope someday to get around to finishing it. I really do like it.

Ship/Missile model credits go to Digital Anvil, the creators of Freelancer. Music is "Open the War" from the Ace Combat 5 soundtrack. All footage animated and rendered in Lightwave 3D. Composited in Adobe Premier.

I'm late but i want to say the comments here illustrate exactly why I don't play games in MP. Because people suck. When i play with npcs, i don't have to deal with either RP "nazis" or ppl wanting to discuss real life. 15 yrs ago when Ultima Online came out I thought this was too good to be true. Then i tried it and realised how a terrible idea it was. Suddenly games were like HS and i was made to socialize with people i never want to talk to IRL. No thanks. I'll take a souless npc ANY DAY.
