O.K - The Coming Of The Martians Famous bloke comes on, says some words 'they drew there plans against us', orchestra pops up, some blokes on keyboard starts playing while another on drums taps away. Famous bloke mention flases on a big red planet followed by a 'whooooooosh' sound made by a keyboard (cool). Big metal thing lands and starts to open as some famous singers sings 'chances of nowt coming from a mars bar are a million to one'. Famous actor starts talking as metal objects opens up and octopus type creatures emerge (bit like a day at water world that). Some blokes (nosy buggers) take a closer look and get slighty burnt. Famous actor chap mentions the octopus creatures banging (leaves that to your imagination). Big green flash, another metal object lands with a bump. Bloke from the army comes along and mentions things on legs (think he's been on the bottle). They go to London (should have gone to Blackpool would have been a cheaper day out). Big lumps of metal on 3 legs appear and blow things up for the fun of it while shouting ULLA (which is the international mating sounds of the hedgehog). Loads of people in London decide to leave (that happens in real life, no need for the big ugly octopus creatures). Big Ben gets a slap and a boat with guns gets sunk as octopus creatures sing out another hedgehog matiing call sign. And thats the basic run down - hope its of help. H_C Looks like a possible Naked Gun / Hotshots style version. With Leslie Neilson taking up the role of the journalist & Charlie Sheen as the artillery man  |

I couldn't get it to load completely into quicktime while it is loaded up on the computer, but managed it in 2 stints using download to disk.
I use a Mac running Safari and you can resume the download where you left off. Not sure if this feature is on the window equivalents- Explorer/Opera etc...
Finally done it though! Looks great- the heatray is looking much better on this render and more like the album cover. I hope that they are not going to use the flying machine too much though- it wasn't really featured a great deal in the book or the album. The effort put in here points to the flying machine being a feature.
Also, it comes across as a little hi-tech- if they had this kind of technology, why do the cylinders crash to the ground so heavily?... (Just an observation- not wishing to undo the impressive work done here)
PS- the foggy lights aren't that difficult to do- normally it's done with adding noise to a volumetric visible light (sorry- jargon!), but it eats up processing power and really adds to rendering time....

[glow=red,2,300]I love it, even though it seems a bit much for this old machine and skips alot  still it looks fantastic. I do miss some of the elements that have been changed from the PC game but still it's looking awesome! Again, not really Wells flying machine (hopefully Pendragon will handle that) but certainly it complements the JW fighting machine delightfully! [/glow] |

Let bill gates swing..say goodbye to virus, spyware ridden, crashing Operating systems.
( I know that's off topic but I couldn't resist - I do love a bit of Apple/PC provocation!!)
