[REVENGE]

This video looks pretty well made, what map and mod / and how was it created?

It doesn't look like it was made in Spring at all. Take note of blinking 'light' on the Annihilator turrets - that seems to be an animated texture and Spring doesn't have that.

Nice video that is

[Zpock]

Thats made in an animation program.

Povray render video - some years old though...

[Zpock]

I think OTA actually had those blinking animated textures?

[REVENGE]

Blah, could've guessed, but I could'nt view the whole video last night due to internet problems. >_<

I think OTA actually had those blinking animated textures?

Yes, Annihilator had that in OTA. The same 'glowing' tex was used on the energy storage (I think it was ARM storage, but I'm not sure).

[Peet]

Both, actually. It was on the metal makers too, iirc.

[[Krogoth86]]

Yeah - in fact all those yellow / red areas of that kind were blinking. I to some extent miss that in Spring...

[smoth]

yes ta had animated textures, yes, it sucks that spring doesn't.

This was animated in Lightwave 3D, and rendered in (POVRAY? Lightwave itself? I don't remember). I remember when the guy who made this first released it. It's a pretty cool piece of work :)

I dont have sound ATM so i don't know if this has it or not, but there was a version of this with narration.

[yuritch]

That's the same version then - the video has narration, music and weapon firing sounds.

Reply on youtube a few pages back:

I hadn't even realised my video was posted on here. It wasn't made with TA Spring, the credits mention all external tools used. Models, textures and animation scripts were exported from Total Annihilation into POVRay using my own program. Where available TAAN's Evolva (higher poly) models replace the original TA models. Once in POVRay, scenes were constructed and animated, rendered, and made into a Movie. All the sounds come straight from TA.
