Really great job, GA.:thumbup: Your choices of sounds, your edits, and camera angles really shined in this. Loved your opening titles.

Good luck reducing the poly's on that F-14 model, its around 750,000 triangles! :shocking:

cool stuff, check out the bottom of the SU-34 page: "The model made for "Digital Combat Simulator" (DCS): Black Shark" guess theres a re-do of the SU-34 coming along, or maybe its already in the game? I dont have DCS:BS, so I dont know.

Well, that convinced me to go get the Dark Knight soundtrack. Great Job.:thumbup:

Yeah, apparently. I guess thats how the VFX company that made it (RealtimeUK) was allowed to realease the movie on thier own. Otherwise, if the game was still being made, THQ would have probably released it.

Thought I'd share this video that I found at CGtalk. Its a cinematic from a (now cancelled) arcade-style video game called stormbirds. Though unrealistic, its mighty impressive. Thought y'all might enjoy it:thumbup:. Original thread at CG talk HD version Medium Version Low res

GA, I have a few recommendations for you. First, there's a guy named Kevin Macleod who writes royalty-free cinematic music and categorizes it on his website: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/ Second, theres a website called archive.org where a lot of people upload "creative commons" works, I don't know if you want to use those, since alot of them disallow use in commercial projects. I don't know if this video is going to be a official BS movie, so you might want to take that into consideration. Most of these just require you provide them credit in your work. But there is a HUGE selection of music there, specifically in their "open source music" directory. Nine Inch Nails has even uploaded several non-commercial albums to this website, and they are quite interesting to listen to. Heres a few links: http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_audio ---main page you can search from Nine Inch Nails "Ghosts" album (theres some really cinematic stuff in here) http://www.archive.org/details/nineinchnails_ghosts_I_IV Nine Inch Nails "The Slip" album (check out the track "corona radiata", specifically from the 4:00 on part of the song) http://www.archive.org/details/nine_inch_nails_the_slip

I wouldn't count on anything big soon. I don't have very much free time to set aside because of school right now, (9 hours of lecture (3 classes) and then 9 hours of lab work a week). On the weekends though I do get a little time to work on stuff, although I'm not really doing anymore simulator "machinima" anymore, since I've been doing alot of stuff in CGI, with Cinema4d. The most I've been able to crank out in the free time that I have are a bunch of test renders/single scene animations. If I had more time I'd probably have put together something new by now, but I just dont have the time.

GA, Awesome. Especially in the sound department:thumbup: The dialouge really adds depth.

AFAIK, they probably do deflect in strange ways in some photos, although whether or not they are bening used as elevators is another question. They're doing that probably as a result of the 'adaptive' FCS, i.e., the pilot puts control inputs through the stick, and the aircraft figures out the best combination of control surface deflections to yield his request. If this means lowering both aelerons, so be it. If you watch closely on some of the better videos out there of it in its post-stall area (when its recovering from a powerloop or doing the "helicopter" yaw-turn) you can see the control surfaces wiggling all over the place.

Good job, I guess it was supposed to be a fighter, and both of its tailbooms were actually designed around two 76mm recoilless rifles. Unfortunately it was underpowered and had poor flight characteristics, as well as the fact that one of the recoilless rifles failed catastrophically on its first firing test.

maybe if I post the 3-view it'll help EDIT: I'll add that there was only 1 of these made.

mkay, name this aircraft and what is special about it?

SC-5 Belfast C1? Only reason I know is because I recognized the British Airways aircraft in the background and the museum where the first photo was taken.

My turn I guess, Identify this aircraft, and what it was designed for.
