[Chris62]

Uber the screenies look great waiting for the next episode.

[thebiz]

That corridor shot with the city out the window looks snazzy!

[kwistufa]

Wowzer Wowzer Wowzer!!
Those are some fantastic Screenies Uber..
Some of those Sets/Props must be Massive..!
Looks like The President
& Hero are having quite a drink as well...

[TINMAN]

Yes, I had to gasp too at seeing the city outside the window! WOW!!!!
I think the President would look good in a plaid shirt. Hee hee.
The new battle armor is impressive and certainly a change of pace from black. Always a surprise!!!!!

Gotta have an Enigma fix! - NOW!

Loaded with heaps of detail too...
Awesome Mod.
Can't wait to see Ep 7.

[Uber]

Update: While i await the CGI from Edgeworks Animation Studios, I decided to export what I have done and get started. I have already shot, edited and exported the presidential arrival scene, so i'll have what i've done which ia about 66% of the movie which sould leave the juicey ending left to do.

Anyone who knows a lady who would doa single line for me to do a newsreader (get THAT role Ken) please let me know.

Thanks, more details to follow.

[Killian]

Looking great man, I look forward to seeing it released!

[BiggsTrek]

If Ken hasn't snapped up this role yet, then my wife could probably help out. Let me know.

:14:

[Uber]

Thanks Biggles, ole bean, but mrs_killian has landed it. Now i just realised i didn't have Killer_actress' lines for o'toole, so i emailed her and now i just play, 'the waitig game'.

[TINMAN]

Look! There is a SKULL on the glove on one of those black armor-cladded guards/soldiers! Gasp!

[Norrie]

Clive's lost weight since he was elected President.
Don't they have vegemite in the future?

[Chris62]

Looks great uber bring on the episode.

[Uber]

Update, after fixing a codex problem and graphic card setting problem, production is back in motion. The second half of the finale is being filmed while i await VOs for Cmdr O'Toole.

[JohnnyEx]

Looks epic, Uber. You make some of the very best mods. Cant wait to check out this one.

[Uber]

Update: The main finale line, ie: Cmdr O'Toole are in, and subbing for Killer_Actress this episode is Lynette of 'I know Ken' fame.:dots:

Any way, i'm trying to get Mrs Uber to do a line and nexus willing, she'll consent. Its easier getting my change back than getting her to do lines...:confused1:

Any who, it's screenie time:

OK; Update.. I've rendered most of the episode, just the secon half and the final CGI scene and its ready for taping together.

[Jase180]

Those screenies make my pants feel funny!

Can't wait!

[Uber]

bad news; caught my hand in a door breaking 5 bones in my hand and fingers. now i have to do everything with my left hand. I'll keep you updated.

[Killian]

OUCH! That's not good, matey :( How the hell did you manage to slam your hand in a door?

[Norrie]

bad news; caught my hand in a door breaking 5 bones in my hand and fingers. now i have to do everything with my left hand. I'll keep you updated.

I like it. We've now had: "a virus ate my mods", that Uber compared to a dog eating homework.

I'm assuming a larger Australian pet caused your excuse?

I kid, I kid. Because I love!

[Killian]

I'm assuming a larger Australian pet caused your excuse?



...jumped by a wombat? Shanghaied by a 'roo? Snuck-up on by a drop bear? (All of which were armed with a .45 spring-loaded door with a bang suppressor?)

...I'll get me coat...

Seriously, though, nasty happening mate; hope it's not as serious as it sounds :S

[Norrie]

Coitus by a koala?
Wanged by a wallaby?
Konfused bt a Kwistufa?
Torn by a Tarison?
Licked by a Leora (OK, I went too far with that one)

[TINMAN]

:blink:

[Uber]

for you fine civilized gents, and norrie, how it happened...

Was at the shop with my daughter getting her some of that Bratz crap. getting out of my wife's car my phone fell onto the ground. I held on to the car to balance myself to pick up the phone when my daughter came around to close the door for me... bingo-bango.

As for the movie; i have one final scene to shoot and the final CGI sequence to get from EE then I can paste it all together and export..... upload and then relax.

so, percent wise; 95% finished.

Good thing i'm still working, and not bludging off the system because i put the part time house keeper on full time till my hand is better. So i guess she wins. :D

[Killian]

Jeez; that's the first time I'll bet you weren't happy your daughter has manners :P

Hopefully you won't be out of action too long mate; all the best for a speedy recovery (of course, that does mean with this extra spare time we expect more from you :P)

[TINMAN]

Ouch!

Here's to a speedy recovery. I know the lil' one has to be upset as well. Man! Hate that happened. Makes my hand hurt to think about it! Again.... a speedy recovery!

K4

[Chris62]

I hope your hand gets better soon good luck on your next episode.
P.S. the new galaxy is bad ass thanks to a creative giant.
Get better soon :thumbup1:

[Uber]

Update: I can hold a glass of water, for about 2 seconds. Then switched it to beer, so i guess i'm knitting bones nicely. Still a struggle to hold the glass, but i'm getting there.

As for enigma, turns out i had an old version of Magix so i bought a new one and have exported the first 65% of the episode. I just have to finish the last bit of filming and get the CGI sequence from EE and patch them together and I'm home and hosed.

Screenies, only some of the Conquest mods I've done and a new bar set for the ATLAS, so you wouldn't be interested in seeing them.

[TINMAN]

I can hardly wait to get my copy of Magix... but of course Ive nothing to edit at the moment. LOL

Sounds like you are gonna strengthen your right hemisphere of your brain by having to use your left hand alot more now..... assuming you are right handed. The beer will help with the pain! Hang on.... I'll pop a top and join you in a tall one!

Cheers!
K4

[Uber]

UPDATE: Being forced to use one hand entirely has made my 1337 skillz with my left hand improve. So, i can do minor stuff quickly but anything fancy takes awhile.

I am pleased to announce that K4ownzall, aka Tinman, aka Gerbil Hider, aka Buster Hymen has joined the cast as a generic station console operater as seen in this pic:

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1970/moviesse200811181305206tr6.jpg

Progress is slow but steady and now at page 13 of my 15 page script, i can see the end. Once EE has sent the CGI sequences, that is.

So, from the work i did last night (+8 hours GMT) here is Station Commander John Stevens (Biggstrek) on the command deck of the Defence Station TICONDEROGA:

[kwistufa]

Wow... Those Screenies are awesome!!
Great to hear progress is being made with just the 1 hand..

Hope the chooks aren't starving.. :39:

[Uber]

Chooks indeed. :p

anyway, I'm up to the last page. I'm done for today. I'll finish up tomorrow and then film it, do basic editing and lipsyncing. Then of to Magix...

[Uber]

UPDATE: good news and badnews.

Goodnews first.... I have the 2nd of 3 cgi clipc from EE, and might i just say, it is pants stainingly good. (make what you will out of that.) I added it into the movie save file and it works very swimmingly. And i am let to believe i'll have the final clip before friday, so expect it out this weekend.

On another note; My conquest project and Utopia 2 projects are still in the Preplanning stages. And after this is out, straight into it.

[josephkw]

Deinitely uber, Uber. I am blown away by some of your breath-taking screenies. Can't wait to see your Magix :)

[BiggsTrek]

So what was the Bad news?

[Uber]

So what was the Bad news?
:dots: You'll have to wait till the weekend to see it. It may be out earlier, but it's down to when EE is finished.

[kwistufa]

So what was the Bad news?

Hehe..
Thats what I was thinking... :001_smile::001_smile:

Less than a week to wait...
Thats Good News!

[Killian]

Bad news is... we have to wait... I want my Enigma NOW!!!!

(Waaaa, waaaaaa... etc) :taz:

[TINMAN]

Enigma is a drug. Once taken... you want more. You're addicted, Mr. Killian. Seek immediate professional attention.

K4

[Killian]

[Norrie]

Luckily for me the drug was on a plate.
Last Enigma film I watched, the bugger missed it for five minutes :)

I'm sure that would make sense if i was stoned and/or drunk. But alas.....

An interesting development has.... err.... developed. I have the final sequence from EE, but he wants to tweek it a bit more, so expect a better update soon.

Update; I recieved the tweaked animation sequence and it was frakin outstanding; EE has outdone himself this time. So its all spliced and patched and rendering as I post this. Sometime sunday evening, if the render goes well, i'll upload to VEOH then embed to TMU.

Ballpark length is 18 minslong.

[TINMAN]

18 MINUTES!

Yay!

I can hardly wait to see what you and your team have put together this time! Sounds like Emerald Edge has outdone himself... again! Of course, Kwistufa is JOHN HERO!!!

Is it true? Free Captain Hero Action figures to the first 50 viewers to leave a comment? I want one!


K4

[Killian]

I'm sending mine back... it had no eyepatch... I demand a refund..!

[Norrie]

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Do I get a Kwis action figure now?

(I want the Limited Edition one with added lanolin)

[Uber]

speaking of eye patches, In season 3 we see what is under the patch. But know this; Ep7 rendered perfectly and will be uploaded Sunday night my time. (+8 hours GMT). Too long to wait? Download some porn to keep busy.
