I saw Top Gun Maverick finally recently and holy f- I don't remember enjoying a movie that much for some time. So any similarities here are definitely intended in this little one-off render to help me warm back up to doing 3d work.

"...Now let's get the @#% back into the ring."

I'm back. And it's time to start working on lore stuff again.

So on that topic, the next video up will be #HeavyGear , and will dive into the Northern Hemisphere of Terra Nova.

I dunno. From the little that was shown, I feel like I could load up GMDX or Deus Ex Revision and get the same effect. Or better.

I had hoped to get further along with this little render series before I left, but simply lost track of time. But the next one would have been Rapi (Nikke) with a Rapier-A.

A "Rapi"er, if you will.

So given how I've been doing one-off renders of stuff since I got into 3D work for the channel, Ive finally begun to gather what I've made into one place for the sake of simplicity: In an Artstation Portfolio.

They're some insane things with the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project. Last I heard they were working on bringing the models from Battlefront 2 and/or Squadrons into XWA.

#shiptember with the Otana at sunset. I've used a similar image before for my Otana video as a thumbnail, but that was just a screenshot of an already rendered video. This is an actual rerender.

Got any other behind-the-scenes stories/factoids with Starlancer like you do with Wing Commander? 👀

This is first part of the story from the game that served as a prequel to the much beloved Freelancer, and then moved on to become a seemingly well-liked ship in Star Citizen. This...is Starlancer.

You might be surprised as I was Chris. It doesn't have the slick production polish like the latter Wing Commander games, but it's gameplay is a lot of fun & similar for those who were raised on the "everyone is bad at their jobs except me" kind of Space-Sims. I've been meaning to stream it forever.

Yes absolutely. The original plan was to do the War of the Alliance after St.Vincents last year. But that got bogged down in production hell since new assets needed to be modelled. At current, the fallback plan is an overview video or two about the North and the South. But that could also change.

When the Border Worlds started getting Rapiers for their Space Forces, many pilots nicknamed them XCRs due to the BW's fascination of an ancient Earth trend called "Weebery".

The meaning of XCR was "eXtremely Cute Rapier".
