Thanks for the comments guys :cool: Motion blur definitely would have helped, unfortunately I was stupid and parented the lights to the banshee and don't have enough time to go and unparent everything so I can move the ship. I would love to have done a scene with some cool shield effects but...

Hey guys, I thought you might like to see an image I just finished. It's my first Wing Commander scene and I apologise in advance if something isn't technically accurate, but it has been a looong time since I've played the games. Would an arrow be pushing shit uphill to take a banshee? Many...

Not until they find a cure ;) roll on stem cell research I say :)

Yeah good old WebCT, I need it for uni but it definitely is in need of a bit of a makeover, a nice Vbulletin board would be nice. The IR mouse works by that device that sits on top of my monitor emitting infrared light which bounces off a small reflective dot that I have stuck my forehead...

Well the software recognises commands as phrases of two words or more, so if I said "delete previous five words" then it would perform that action but if I said "delete" then a pause, then "previous five words" it would write the text onto the screen. You can navigate the Internet with it by...

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software, it works pretty well, it's about 95 percent accurate if you really try and speak clearly. As for suing, it's a tough one. The relevant authorities probably would have been found slightly legally responsible and I still would have got a...

I dived into some shallow water and broke my neck in 2000. You know those ads about checking the depth of water before jumping in? You REALLY should listen to them! Not being able to play Wing Commander is just one unfortunate result from being a quadriplegic ;)

:) well you did say you ran away from this thread... it's not like I made you follow that link, if I was really nasty I would have inserted it as an image ;)

haha you mean like this? http://web.mit.edu/pkamvyss/www/pictures/bee.jpg

I don't know what happened to my Prophecy CD... It was so long ago since I played it. I'm disabled these days anyway and am unable to play space sims unfortunately. I can do a bit of 3D modelling though and I thought I would have a go at the wasp... Looks like no one can help anyway, I'll...

Cool, now all I need is for someone to press printscreen when a wasp is on screen when playing prophecy... Hint hint :D lol if only prophecy handled high poly models like that... that would have been a sight my old Pentium at probably 0.5 fps.

Privateer 3? Yeah sure, great game. Didn't that come out right after "Wing Commander Prophecy 8: The Price of the Heart of Freedom"??

well 608 polygons anyway... :D

Thanks for the welcome :) I found that picture of the wasps last night, very nice and helpful. However if I could get some more it would be even better. Is it as easy as someone pressing printscreen while in game to get a couple of pictures? Here is a render of Dan Sumner's model...

G'day everyone, My first post, hope this is in the right section. I was hoping someone would be able to provide me with some high res screenshots of a wasp from different angles. I was thinking of having a go at modelling one using lightwave, because it's a relatively simple shape and...
