descent -16-

20090811 (14) - What with the multiple reworks of earlier bits of the story and my frequent, flagrant use of the model in the second edition... it's hard to believe that these were the very first production renders of the Sabrosa.

Aaah... memories.

That said, this was a straight scale-and-crop, with the Sabrosa scaled down a bit in panel four to fit the space.

20090813 - Replaced 3 and 4 with fresh renders. The switch from scanline to mental ray resulted in a bit of a mismatch, on this page and the next - as such the renders aren't just plopped in as they would have been if I were making adjustments to a fresh scene - there's some photoshop involved. Oh, and the perspective in panel four is different - there's no file for that shot for some reason... or if there is, it's buried somewhere else in the project directory tree.

20090908 (16) - Captioned.

My gid, it's full of money shots.

That is what I've been up to the past few days.

19:32 <@bda> It looks like a Blockade Runner ate a Dralthi!
19:32 < solios> >_>
19:33 < mdxi> hah!
19:33 < solios> it does.
19:33 <@bda> :D
19:33 < solios> but it's also accurate to the Sabrosa As Portrayed, mostly.
19:33 <@bda> <3
19:33 < solios> <3
19:33 <@rjbs> tell me, in your own words, only the good things about... your donut
19:34 < mdxi> (or maybe a little like the SDF-1 rear-ended the Enterprise E)
19:34 < solios> yeah, that's more my thinking.
19:34 <@bda> UNF
19:34 <@rjbs> solios: scale on that?
19:34 < solios> those prong thingies down the center of the split fold down to form the accellerator for the railgun.
19:35 < mdxi> 1px == a billion fathoms
19:35 < solios> rjbs: bigger than the Enterprise D.
19:35 < solios> but not by all that much, I think.
19:35 <@bda> Dieter made an awful fathoms pun last night.
19:35 <@rjbs> it was dreadful, and not in a funny way
19:35 < solios> in ATC-verse scale it's too big to be a light cruiser and too small to be a destroyer.
