I remembered some nice old YouTube renders of AT-ST and AT-AT on Hoth:
Would the CGI look fake if it was farther away in the background? Plus, they're old renders (at least the first), I suppose newer 3D renders could have a better and more realistic lighting.
Oh, this was nice too:
EDIT: Sorry, should be fixed now.
Loving that last clip with the Snowtroopers inside the AtAt.
The AtSt clip is good, a bit too cgi looking but a great idea. As mentioned, the At St's dissapear after they are shown, seeing them wiped out would be awesome! I love the Hoth battle, but wish it were longer, or showing more of an invasion.
The battle is the gritties throughout the whole saga, and baffles me how Big G and his FX team came up with cartoony battles in the prequels. Surely they must have rewatched Empire as research before making the prequels. Continuity is more than just storyline and character, it should be visual too. I still swear that the battle of HOTH was real, and was merely documented.
Ady, any thoughts as to having a faint shield effect evaporate as the AtAt falls before the speeder fires? And in the trailer as someone else pointed out, there were lots more AtAts coming over the horizon, is it true that this is no longer happening?
Will you be adding a bigger or different Laser effect from the radar dish cannon? And the "maximum " firepower shot at the shield generator of the rebel base. I see they charged the cannons but not much difference visually.
