In Response To: Re: Hey, question for anyone that read FoR... (Roger Wilco)

: Ohh, okay Louis, I see how it is. My Covenant Cruisers look like purple blobs
: but his purple blobs look like Covenant Frigates. Fine. :P

: Very cool Nth. Having not read FoR I have no concept as to it's accuracy but
: it is always cool to see this stuff in action. Have I asked you before
: what program you use?

trueSpace 5.1 is where I did most of the work, although I spent some time creating a nifty new surface for Sigma Octanus 4 in Micrografx Picture Publisher, which is basically a cheaper version of Photoshop.

: Does it say in the book if this was something he had planned in advance or
: made up on the spot...because he was about to get Kobayashi Maru-ed.

He made it up on the spot once he saw which ships he was up against. Since you didn't read the book, I'll point out something that didn't really come across well in the movie... he drops the nuke right at the beginning before he even hits the first Covenant craft, and just lets it sit there until he finishes orbiting the planet. That's where that big fake-looking explosion came from ;-). I did drop a metal box there to indicate where the nuke was, but it was too small and is completely invisible in the finished product. :-(
