Mr March Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I gotta find a more affordable way to start picking that series up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Is Macross Chronicle available for sale anywhere? It's available for pre-order right now from HMV (they do ship internationally and do have an English version of their site). At the price though, you may want to see if a Japanese bookstore will have it (like Kinokuniya, if you have one near you) or bunch up your order. At $6-$7 USD/volume, shipping internationally will be painful/volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronnang Dunn Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Grrr.........that's why I hate places like that site started by four guys named Chan and the BS crap hoaxes that gets posted there. Well... the art there is nice at least, hehe. Check out what I just found... Could it be official art? I already posted this image in the Mecha thread... Sorry for the re-post, I couldn't resist sharing it here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronnang Dunn Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's probably fan-art. Yes, but that's probably the best mecha fan art that I've have seen... Looks a lot like model kit box art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yes, but that's probably the best mecha fan art that I've have seen... Looks a lot like model kit box art... As I posted in the other thread - this isn't Hidetaka Tenjin's art at all. It's nice fan art, but definately not Tenjin's. Could be a WIP tho, before he paints over it?

taksraven Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I get the feeling that "Twilight Planet" was a fake name they threw out just to keep the ending of ep. 12 a surprise... Quite agree there. Sounds like they were trying to keep the spoilers hidden. Good on them. Taksraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think fans recognizing recycled cloud formations is more disturbing than the recycled background itself yeah, but it's Kresphy! He ALWAYS finds all the little things that the rest of us can't...Admittedly, information on new releases is a little more useful than reused backgrounds, but it's all the same mission.

Final Vegeta Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think fans recognizing recycled cloud formations is more disturbing than the recycled background itself This remind me of a 4chan thread where someone shopped manly attributes over Suzaku (Code Geass) and someone recognized where they came from Anyway, it's clearly a reference more than a recycle, because if you have seen the preview you will notice Alto performs the same Cobra maneuver Shin did FV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3v Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Anyway, it's clearly a reference more than a recycle, because if you have seen the preview you will notice Alto performs the same Cobra maneuver Shin did Not exactly the same manuever, Shin performs a Cobra, then crosses Nora's own Cobra while in fighter mode. Pilot-Hime on the other hand does a Cobra then goes into Gerwalk mode in the preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) um, maybe they also recycled the flight paths? this is CG afterall so they probably have the old render paths saved somewhere and just swapped the objects, i mean valks. if the camera angles on that cobra maneuver are the same, then i'd say it's very likely. anyway, i'm not complaining about the recycling (if indeed it is). if anything, it shows how much they've improved on the lighting. edit: ok, scratch that. d3v just blew it out of the water Edited July 1, 2008 by Major Focker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaD3k Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) It's too accurate to be a homage. The background is a 1:1 copy, but with more cloud details added in, at the top left and top right sides of the image. As for the flight paths and movement - also 1:1 copy and pasted over to the MacF episode, except in this case Alto switches to Gerwalk mode. General thing about copying: If something popular copies anything - it's a homage, or a tribute. If something unpopular copies anything - it's a rip off Edited July 1, 2008 by OmegaD3k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric indigo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's nice to see in the direct comparision how the new renders make the models look more like traditional cel animation. I really like the look of the CGI in Macross F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_s_6 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 At least this time they added extra clouds and lighting to the background. ...whoa, someone noticed this? I'm surprised!

Major Focker Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 indeed. the new renders are much more natural. another bit, that suggests the backgrounds were recycled: in M0 the lighting was from the left and both the valks and clouds reflected this. in MF the lighting was on the right side and correctly depicted by the left shadowing on the valks, but the clouds still had their shadows on the right facing the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and pre-order the Macross Chonicles from HMV Japan. I'll let you all know how the service turns out. While I'll probably be able to find them easily enough retail here in Hong Kong, I'm going to be on vacation in UK from mid-July, to early August and don't want to risk missing the first issue with the binder, as I'm sure it will sell out quickly.
