Zion, I would consider a replacement for Laserman if you don't hear from him sooner or later. Personally I hope Laserman can recover and get back into the swing of things to finnish this project, but if he can't come back, then this project might allready be dead, unless someone can step in to fill his shoes.

Tellan, could you use a more friendly video codec for your animations. None of my players are able to play your newest and previous clips. Are you using the Huffy codec on your animations?

Very nice article. I wish I was using blender, but I'm comfortable with my after effects. The only thing I didn't like about the atricle was his hatred for Maya. I have been a maya user for almost 5 years and it's a wonderful application albeit the price tag. I have noting against lightwave or it's users; I have seen many beautiful works from it. I have even had a few Lightwavers beat me on a few modeling comps. I think his hatered is from the politics within the CG world, and alot of people ( Corporate heads ) just want to make a name for them selves, reguardless of what the CG staff thinks. The corporate office needs to keep out of the work flow and let the CG team get the job done the way they know how to.

Your new X-wing clip was awsome. Your right about the engine glows, they need more work. The Lucasfilm ones are a bit more pinkish. The motion blurr looks good to. Did you set it to 50% like in the BSG link? However, If your at 50%, set it to 48%, that will match the 24fps shutter speed. The llighting still neeeds to be bumped up a little bit more in my opinion.

Can you post a link to the Battlestar Galactica artical? I would like to check it out.

I agree with you completely, Texturing 3D models is a very time consuming task. I hate UV mapping, and I try to stay away from texturing as much as possible. I would rather have somebody else do it for me. Can you post a pic of the progress on the models?

I'm just curious, what all can you do with the LW software render'er?

too much motion blur? I'm running at 125% particle blur at the moment, what should I be having for 24fps?

Shutter speed determines how mutch blurr the moving object will have. A 180 degree shutter spinning at 1/48 a sec will give you the ( assuming your animating at 24fps ) 24fps motion blurr and exposure to match 35mm movie look. Check your camera attributes and see where they are at. I believe the particle blurr you mentioned is for shadows but I guess LW works differently, from what I use. I'm a Maya user, so my appologies if I have made any mistake on that. Does your particle blurr work from sampling?

You stated using LW earlier, I was curious to know what you were using to render out the animation. Are you using mentalray, Brazil, or Renderman perhaps, or are you just using the LW software render'er?

My appologies if I'm way off base here.

Very impressive tellan! What are you using to render out your animation? In my opinion, the ships need a little more movement. In your shot the ships have little or no independant movement. They just movie in a straight line, then when it cuts to the SE footage, the ships have more independant movement. So what are you really tryng to match, the classic 77 footage or the 97 SE footage some what? Also, there seems to be a bit too much motion blurr. Make shure your camera shutter is 180 degrees, and the shutter speed and over all film speed matches a 24fps film speed. I also reccomend speeding up the ships just a tad, and lastly, I reccomend bumping up the light intensity just a tad to better match the Lucasfilm footage, but then again whats your real goal, to match the classic footage or the SE footage some what?

These are just my own thoughts, opinions, and reccomendations of course.

Just finnished watching my successfiully shrinked copy of RTJ, and it looks alot better than what I thought it was going look for a SL disk. The documentary was even better than what I expected. I couldn't believe how much I did'nt know about Return of the Jedi. Thank you Jambe Davdar!

I do own the prequel and original trilgies on DVD, plus the faces laserdisc set, and Special Edition laserdisc box set, and the special edition and non special edition ( pre THX ) VHS sets. All of them are retail versions bought when they were available on store shelves.

What I need to know is do I need to provide physical proof ( photo or reciete ) that I own all these versions? I just don't want to violate the 6th rule thats all.

I just downloaded DVD shrink 3.2, going to be testing some DVDR's to see how good the quality is. Hope it works out. Thanks for the advice!

6. Before obtaining any fan edits, you must be in ownership of the official retail release.

Ok, if I understand you correctly, if I don't own store bought copies of the starwars trilogy ( prequel or origional ) on dvd for example, it is forbidden by the forum administrator/s here that I have a fan edit period, and if I want a fan edit, I must provide proof that I own the retail versions of them? Are you asking to see a reciete or photo or something proving that I own them?

Also what are the rules reguarding the fan documentaries, does rule #6 apply to that also?

I hope this doesn't come off offensive to you.

Jambe Davdar, you mentioned the QC discs being dual layered, are there any plans for a single layer DVD-R? I don't have the ability to burn a dual layered DVD-R, I can only do single layer.

Yep, that's my. But my actual name there was HopeOfTheFuture, like the name of my site ;-)
Long time no see huh? How did you end up here?

Hope of the Future; ah, I remember know. Heh, it "has" been a long time. Too bad the T3 boards are shut down. I'm still pissed that the board administration would not accept my T3 fan art. They woudn't even tell me if it violated copyright or not.

Anyway, I found this place from another starwars fan site (millenniumfalcon.com to be exact ). I have been a lurker here for a little while. It's good to see your a member here, hows it been?

I have allways been very impressed with the level of quality from this project ever since I saw the first couple of pics on the official XO website. You guys need to release a trailer to give us a taste of the final product. A one minute teaser perhaps, showing off some of the finished work? I would really like to order one of the XO T-shirts aswell. When will they be available?

LOL, that Simon critic was a trip. Where ever this guy is from ( He sounded a bit German or Soviet ) He was totally unqualified to critique ROTJ. I think Ebert summed it up pretty good sayingText "I don't know what he did as a child". If he grew up in Europe or the Soviet Union, he didn't spend it watching movies. Simon looks to have been heavily into books and/or the Opera in his youth. Something which would have been very common to him over seas as a kid.

I would love to have a copy of this when it's finnished. I read up on this whole thread and I'm glad to know that you have made the effort to convert the PAL to NTSC. Will this conversion anamorphic? Also are you going to torrent this or are you just mailing it out?
