Knight26 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 where are your designs? Are they in that link in your signature? Some of them are, I've also got a lot of old WIP threads on here showcasing more of them. They are all for my books, the first of which should be released no later then February 09, just waiting on my editor and cover artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchizophrenicMC Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Simple rule to apply: Fanfic / Fan productions = non-canon CRAP! And that goes for anything. *Imitates John Madden* Now this is a guy who has never read a good fic. I tell ya, this guy has never read a good fic. This guy has never read a good fic. And that's what that's all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I think Lindem Herz stated it well. Their modelling and animation is fine, but their designs are horrible and show no sense of engineering design principles. In my own designs everything has a purpose, there are no "hey would cool tacked on here" parts. If something is there it has a purpose. What is the purpose of those stupid balls on the shoulders, or the ridiculously huge guns or unneeded fins. Besides I think the whole of the production is tripe, it makes no sense to make, the designs are a mess, now the animation itself looks great for a fan production, almost better then Shadow Chronicles in some ways. lol, I don't think most fan ever consider engineering design principle in their design, the only thing that came into their mind is "it would be cool if I place this thingy here". I have to admit that I also made several ludicrous design and posted them on scifi mesh forum, but I was lucky enough that most of the critic are positive lol.

Knight26 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 For the love of god someone show them how to turn on the anti-aliasing filter. And that ADF-1 looks like the unholy love child of the Macross and those southern cross ships with a hint of mospeada thrown in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugimon Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 wait wait wait... that thing is supposed to be the SDF-1 before it was the SDF-1? And what is that mecha thing? The original "veritech"? I have to see this now, this is going to be awesome! But then what are those alpha looking "veritechs"? I'm confused.

Lindem Herz Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 ... I think I just understood why the Trekkies complain so much about the redesigned Enterprise.

This is as pretty as a kick on the nuts Well fanfic are created by fans with no funding and sometimes only a few people dedicated their life into it, don't compare it to mainstream industry where the producers are gambling funds with dozens of talented artist and plethora of studio art backing up. I still say this fanfic film is >>>> Shadow Chronicle and Star Wreck >>> any Star Trek after Search of Spock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how it is pretty clear that they have spent 99% of their effort on the *mecha* and about 1% effort on the character design and implementation. And ALL of it STILL looks crap!
