In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Hard Vacuum (Steve Levinson)

The final terminal I quoted below I really enjoyed. It had a etherial quality to it that I found myself starring at in ... well... awe/wonder after I finished Rubicon both times (I've done it more, but its impact was greatest the 1st time around).

What I think would be of interest to people is the fact that For an intro movie to my 4th Party Rubicon Scenario I took major elements from this terminal. The movie actually shows a man (looks very much like our Marine) running towards a horizon.

Since the higher quality origional .avi (which I'll encode to .mpg format) is at a friends house on CD, I'll post a link to it within this week.

I promise. : )

To tide everyone over, heres a joke movie I created with my Pfhor model in 3D Max. Comments are always welcome. The origional .avi is 44 megs in size, but perfect clarity. Because I encoded this fellow in .mov format (2.3 megs) for the benifit of dialup users... yes it does look like your seeing through saran-wrap.
