It's so refreshing to see some chivalry. Awesome.
WE GOT YOUR BACK ADY!
^The funny thing is, I bet at this point, even with so much yet to do, it is much different than the screener you got. :)
Ady, are you just using the ships from the Matte, and you have built or will build the hanger in miniature?

I'm sure a "yeah" or "nope" would be safe. Haha.

Yes, i'm only using the ships. The rest will be a miniature. Looking at the scan closely i noticed that the closest transport is actually a photograph of the model. I always thought that this one looked too good to be a painting.
And yes, the edit has gone through a lot of changes since the first workprint

Does anyone have a high-res picture of the matte painting used in this shot?
I have scanned this from The Star Wars Chronicles:
This is a photobucket resize, the original file is about 40Mb, you can actualy see the weft of the print. I can send it to you via "YouSendIt"…
You Sir are awsome!!
That is absolutely a beautiful piece of work there. I tip my and and tap my cane to you.
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside....
Looking at it alongside that scan, it really makes the scale seem waaaaaaaaaaay off. :p

Once you know it, and take another look, it actually stands out from the rest clear as day. Kind of a cheap trick, no?

Well, remember that these were cobbled together with "popsicle sticks and scotch tape" back in the day. ;)

Back in the day when realism mattered, instead of sticking everything on there with damn computers...
I still prefer the OT battles over the PT ones. PT is just too damn chaotic.
There's just something about the ESB battles that makes me drool.

100% agreed.
CG, to me, should be a tool used only to enhance the practical elements, not to replace them completely.

Totally, there are so many great flying sequences in ESB. The asteroid scene blows away the one in AOTC. I also love the falcon attacking the star destroyer, the little flip the falcon does as it doubles back over the cloud bank to rescue Luke on Bespin and that flight along the edge of the executor. All done with little plastic models!
IMHO the only parts of ESB that look dodgy are some parts of the battle of Hoth. When the tripped walker blows up, the way the snow surface reacts looks just like a table covered in flour (or whatever they used). Also the walker falling over after Luke throws the grenade in, well I never noticed the stick pushing it but the model looks like... a model.
In other scenes however the walkers look great. I particularly love the moment towards the end of the battle when the rebel troops are fleeing before a walker that is picking them off with turbo lasers. The empire look like real bullies and you get a real sense of how outgunned the rebels are.
The other really poor scene in the trilogy is the executor crashing into the DS2. That should have been a spectacular moment but it looks like a model crashing into another model. Hope you plan to fix this Ady. Would particularly like to see the view from the bridge or DS (or both!) as this happens. Anyway that is off topic and I don't want to risk another train wreck.
You're right though. The part where the toppled AT-AT falls down 'face-first' and is consequently blown up by T-47's always felt... 'ugly'.
Did you manage to fix that shot already, Ady?
I think getting cockpit-views from DS2 or Ex. would be difficult, since you'd need shots of people falling down into the wind-shield or dying or something, which you don't. Not impossible, just... difficult. :)

However you'll notice that the tip of the nose has been redrawn…
Since it makes peoples feel all warm and fuzzy inside here are other pics of this beauty from the chronicles, enjoy : )

I was just thinking the same thing. If that's a transport ship it couldn't carry more than your average shopping trolly :)
Hopefully Adywan will fix the scale in this scene.

When I think I sold that book year ago for a misery...

Why are you sorry about that?

Awesome. Looks like the bottom one is the picture they inserted into the matte.

Another proof of the generosity and over all coolness of this place.
It might be fun to add a few woodlice into the Rebel fleet in ROTJ:R (like the potato asteroids in ESB).
