How about looking at the viewscreen where the Whitestar appears in the episode "No Surrender, No Retreat" ("Incoming ships sir, unknown profile." "I've seen these ships before, those are Sheridan's forces") and basing the anims on that?

Ah.. no. My vid capture card broke. It didn't support Win2K anyway. This is the best I can do, sorry it's not very good:



Basically it's a high-res wireframe mesh in white spinning in perspective, over a straight horizontal/vertical green grid background, with three side-by-side information panels ticking away directly underneath.

we could do something like that,
I'm not sure if I like it that much though

I've got bright ticking away at the TGAs right now, with big things it does take a while, probly a few hours, and this is after a few hours to render, so basicly once we settle on a template it'll take me a day per ship, maybe two a day if I do it right

I like that Xaphod. Maybe ours should have their textures?

Anyways, I like the glowing grid underneath....try and do that.

How about this then?:






From the episode "Babylon Squared" - basically it's "video footage" of the ship, with an inset wireframe.. statistics appear as text overlayed at the left.. and that distinctive frame and title of course.

Sorry about the poor quality, but considering I was taking a photo of my TV it's not too bad I guess
