    Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 [Spoilers for BSG S4]

    Thinker, I think this is were your getting off on the wrong foot. That isn’t the reason for this thread. It’s not at the heart of the discussion, it’s not meant to have reasoned arguments or educated opinions and IT IS meant to contain opinions. Calling you a wanker (I laughed my arse off...

    Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 [Spoilers for BSG S4]

    Depends what you mean by addressed I suppose. It would be more than a little wrong to imply that jms had a major hand in the specific visual detailed look of the show. General approach ‘maybe’, in some areas. But jms wanted to add tractor beams to the B5 station, had to be convinced that a...

    Two Big Crusade Questions

    I just KNEW that was what was coming next. ;) Fair point though, and definitely in keeping with the way the wee manipulative bugger was starting to be portrayed. Though like more or less everything concerning the possible stories held within Crusade we’ll never know.

    Why Are The "LoTR"'s Special Effects So Different From B5?

    For models? The other thing is Tim wasn’t part of the design team. He was brought in to do story boarding as far as I know. Though might check on that, now that you mention it. Alec (the 3D lead over at atmosphere) was heavily using the size figures that Brandon put together from a few...

    Why Are The "LoTR"'s Special Effects So Different From B5?

    OK, as your using exploder ;), and if you have a broad band connection (though it's not totally necessary), have a look in here. I’m guessing you haven’t seen it. http://ftp.themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm You should find the extended replies section as well as some of the screens...

    Why Are The "LoTR"'s Special Effects So Different From B5?

    I wouldn't bet on that. ;) With regard to the fan models, only really one fan though, it was a pretty well known model builder Fabio Passaro. Lives in Wales apparently - didn't know that!!!! Got some stuff off Alec McClymont over at Atmosphere about it. Including why some AOG minatures made...

    Why Are The "LoTR"'s Special Effects So Different From B5?

    They didn't, it was Warner Brothers who definetly lost the original CG footage which was sent to them at the end of each season (for supposed upres'ing and inclusion into the videos/dvds releases). Apparently they also misplaced the original CG files containing the models and animation files...

    Why Are The "LoTR"'s Special Effects So Different From B5?

    From Alec McClymont who worked as an animator for GVFX (the team who produced the cgi for LOTR) and who is the head 3D Lead over at Atmosphere who did the effects for The Lost tales. Concerning the targeting system of the Liandra and the look of hyperspace Can’t remember where I put the stuff...

    Lord of the Rings?

    That’s something that had me curious as well. It was an obvious nod by the designer Luc Mayrand, as he says: Does kind of imply that jms (or someone else) didn’t know about this visual nod, a bit like the Sunhawks to the Liberator in B7 or the Omega’s to the Leonov, and wanted it toned back a...

    Inside A Shadow Ship?

    With regards to the shadow fighters. Here’s a quote from Ron Thornton, who came up with the idea of the shadows using organic ships and who designed and built the Battle Crabs and fighters. From that it could be envisaged that at least some parts of the ships interior, like the bit where the...

    B5Tech.com question?

    I post there. Mentioned your problem to the admins (remember recently seeing someone else having issues as well). Apparently it may be down to some general blocking of certain ISP’s due to spambots and the like. http://www.b5tech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42669#42669 Only thing I can...

    STARFURY QUESTION ?

    At the end of the day, the only real research I did was tracking the contributors to B5Scrolls down. They’re the ones who provided the details. Most of the interesting and/or funny stuff started with the statement “as an aside” mainly because my actual questions where/are (on the whole)...

    STARFURY QUESTION ?

    I was surprised when I heard about it as well. As for B5tech. The vast majority of the site is fan fiction (valiantly) trying to fill in the gaps caused by the lack of supplementary material produced for the show. Going by what I’ve read on other forums and the like, quite a few assumptions...

    STARFURY QUESTION ?

    This came from Paul Bryant (designer of the Omega Destroyers) while talking about how the furies returned to their launch bays at the ends of the rotating section of the Omega’s much like the Cobra bays on the sation (you never did see them launched from there though).

    Here’s a thing most B5 fans should find a little interesting at least.

    Re: Here’s a thing most B5 fans should find a little interesting at least. Hmmmmmmm . . . . . .could do. It took me nearly an hour to put that image together. But it was a bit of a joke (they're real images just different sources in case your wondering). I’ll probably change the focus of...

    Here’s a thing most B5 fans should find a little interesting at least.

    Re: Here’s a thing most B5 fans should find a little interesting at least. I’m not a web developer (this is the one and only site I've put together), don’t keep abreast of current events in that area, so I’m blissfully ignorant of the outcry your referring to. But do agree some standardisation...
