Read the caption. The fire animation was done in blender! COOL! :smiley:

Cool, but that doesn’t look like fire at all.

That’s true.

I mean, I haven’t used Blender in months and I could make better fire than that. :-Þ

Good point. I think what’s more important however is that they actually used blender, which is more than a lot of projects will do.

Not only is the fire bad but it’s totally set apart in style from everything else. They shouldn’t have used Blender.

Why shouldn’t they have used blender?

7

That fire looks like hay set on staves to dry on a field. Seriously.

LOL, well judging by the other GFX them using blender isn’t going to give blender a bad name, since the other GFX look pretty poor anyway.

but good luck to them, i am not one to insult other peoples efforts.

Well I still think the coolest thig is the fact that some animatics were set up using Blender. I see some tutorials and news of Blender in 3D World magazine, I think that’s pretty cool, the fact that the top 3D CG magazine recognizes the power of the Blender.

I used to love Lincity back in the old days.

I tried this new game on my windows machine (Athlon 2800+, 512MB Ram, Nvidia Geforce4 64MB). THe game is barely usable. Like it runs at <10fps. I had to ditch it.

So, oh well. . . . the screenshots looked nice %|
