Actually, there is a reason why the jump points look different for Rangers. ACtA and B5 both used LightWave for their CGI effects. Rangers uses Maya, which doesn't have the same procedural textures as LightWave. (Procedural textures are textures that are not actual images, but mathematical...

Whoever got that information, it's completely false. SCIFI has been getting some very impressive ratings, and has actually done quite well for itself despite the slump in advertising. Farscape has been renewed for two more seasons, there's Rangers, another Dune miniseries, and some other...

1. It will be Maya. 2. I'm sure that Slade can answer this more fully, but I don't believe any major changes will be made. (Although they may have updated some of the textures - remember, many of them for the staation were made on Amigas way back in 92! 3. At least the Valen, probably more...

I can say this: there is 110% support for Babylon 5 and SciFi. There are a lot of people excited about Rangers over there, and they're not about to be stingy with the promotion - they just want to do everything in the right time. When the dust settles from Enterprise then we'll start seeing...

Filming an episode takes about 7 days. (Season 5 switched to a 6 day/episode schedule, but it was too hectic and CRUSADE returned to the 7 day schedule.) However, that doesn't include the time needed for pre and post production, script writing and revising, CGI, editing, etc... all of which...

I doubt that WHOIS information would allow for any lawsuits - Russia has *no* form of contract law. (Well, unless you count Mob contracts, in which case the Russian contract is quite efficient...) However, WB could simply have Network Solutions shut down the domain themselves - they certainly...

There could not have been a picture of the ship, because the ship has only recently been modeled in CGI. The designs are finalized, but the long process of animating and rendering the effects and then compositing them into the live action is only beginning. All in good time... we'll see the...

Check eBay, I managed to snag one from there. However, the cheapest you can expect to find one is around $60-$70... ------------------ WombatControl http://www.flarn.com/wombatcontrol/ "Who let the spoo out? Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh..."

It's the "Requiem for the Line" from the first season. That particular remix is from the European release of the first soundtrack and can also be heard on the Best of Babylon 5 CD that came with the B5 CD-ROM Guide that Sierra when Sierra was still a respectable gaming company...

Hmmm... I suppose that's the reason. Their poor CGI server must be about to melt. The rest of the site is responsive, so they must have one nice load balancer in there. At least they're running Solaris with Apache rather than NT or the server would be falling to its knees rather than serving...

Hmmm... do I smell something burning? Wait, it's their server... ------------------ WombatControl http://www.flarn.com/wombatcontrol/ "Who let the spoo out? Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh..."

No luck here... 500 Authentication Error... The site's probably getting hammered right now. Always test your sites before giving the address to millions of people. ------------------ WombatControl http://www.flarn.com/wombatcontrol/ "Who let the spoo out? Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh..."
