  1. Great work man!! But i guess judging by the art style you are following it will be more like a comic than a manga, and it is seems to be robotech related..

  2. Re-did my VF girl, newer base model, better VF-25 parts, had some issues with the hair before (wasn't glued to the model) now fixed... Still have to fix the skinning, replace old textures with better high-res ones, learn how to do some good facial expressions...

    Static render:

    Animated render (very low quality, 10 frames per minute :D):

    animated render i wanted to do (didn't finish because it would take a lot of time at preview quality):

    I will try to do a proper render and a longer animation when i have time. Still have to figure out how to do a lot of things... like explosions and smokes...

  3. "macross, Genesis Climber Mospeda, evangelion..."

    You made your son watch macross zero, mospeada and evangelion?

    For his age just get those more famous anime with 300 episodes or more, like one piece, bleach, naruto (don't know if they are good cause never watched any of them, but there a lot of ppl that like them).

  4. Claymore: good until they stopped following the manga, bad ending.

    Desert Punk: don't know...

    Gungrave: don't know

    Megami Sama:

    If harem comedies are your thing, you've hit the motherlode.

    I think Ah megami sama isn't harem, the main character likes only Belldandy, no???

    Macross F won't say anything, you are asking about it on a Macross forum, what do you expect people to tell you??? Go ask at robotech.com :lol:

  5. The first OVA of Macross Plus, that premired a month before M7, was the first to make the DYRL prefrance clear unless you count Mac II.

    Right from the beginning Mac Plus shows Isamu with his DYRL-style sholder pads fighting Zentradi battle suits that look very reminscent of the DYRL-style Nousjadeul-Ger. Mac Plus not only used the DYRL combat mecha, but the civilian mecha as well with their futurisitic car styles. Mac + also kept the Macross "armed" with the ARMD Space Carriors over the Promethus and Daedulus aircraft carriers from SDF.

    Also wanted to add that while I was checking this I noticed someone very interesting at the Sharon Concert crowd...

    I didn't get what's those screens are about... I guess he isn't kawamori because his eyebrow are too thin to be him.

  6. I thought the reactor going critical was due to the interference that a beam weapon shot to the reactor causes. The reactor has been shot at before without beam weaponry, and it doesn't explode. In 8th MS team, Karen's Gundam was on its back and it couldn't shoot at the Dom without hitting the reactor (it was equipped with a beam rifle).

    Also, other mobile suits have been shot at with beams, had their vernier fuel explode, but the reactor didn't. It appears that a slug or high explosive round hitting the reactor and causing damage, just causes the reactor to fizzle out. Shoot it with a beam, and it suffers a runaway, causing the reactor to explode.

    Huh, i thought that some exploded and others didn't for the same reason the CFs sometimes die with one hit while the main character just get scratched.

  7. The hardest of the hardcore were present at the Robotech Auction:

    Stealth Veritech = $425. Did the guy who just bid look a lot like Jonathan Switzer, a.k.a. Captain JLS?

    I don't see the rarity of it... None of them designed it, it would be the same as getting a signed LP/CD from guy who translated the cover to other language.

  8. And to hammer the nail into the coffin lid on the VF-1 with VF-25 engines thing: the engines don't fit. VF-1: 12.68 m vs. VF-25: 15.59 m. The VF-25 is a good 23% larger than the VF-1. The engines also have an equivalent size increase. No room!

    Then use the VF-0, it is bigger and also if it looks more modern, then it is more modern. ^_^

  9. Not necessarily... we've already seen one prominent example of a fighter less advanced and powerful than the VF-25 that was perfectly capable of flying itself to pieces and killing the pilot in Macross Plus. Kawamori made it no secret that what was holding the VF-25 and VF-27 back in atmospheric flight performance was the fuselage's limited resistance to the heat caused by atmospheric friction at high velocities. Given the information available, we know even fighters designed to handle those stresses have enough engine power to destroy themselves under the right circumstances. It's simple logical inference that an older design not intended to handle those stresses wouldn't hold up nearly as well as a design that was.

    Kawamori rarely does anything completely illogical with his designs for Macross, so I find the idea that he might say the VF-1 could handle the stresses imposed by the VF-25's engines somewhat silly... dry.gif

    <_< actually my point was that we can't really argue who is right or wrong when it comes to fiction.

    And at VFX2 the i could beat the ghost x-9 using a VF1, VFX2 is canon, so i can speculate that the VF1 of that time is better than the VF-22??? So it may actually hold the VF-25 engines! :lol:

  10. Hah, I doubt that. Now if you really want me to explain why (though Seto seems to have the gist of it down), I can. I am an Aerospace Engineering student, this stuff is what I do. I rather not spend the time typing up the explanation (partly because Seto got the key points down).

    Suffice it to say if you put VF-25 engines on a VF-1 and tried to fly it, the forces would rip the plane to shreds. Possibly even burning shreds if the air in front of the plane were to violently compress to the levels it does when spacecraft re-enter the atmosphere (more so actually). The VF-25 airframe is designed to work with that thrust, the VF-1 was not.

    Actually i answered that way on purpose, you may have the corret real world logic, but we are talking about fiction. Unless Kawamori officially states that if you put the VF-25 into the VF-1 it will burn, what i said could be just as true as what you are saying. :p

  11. 1. Upgrade the engines-give it the same engines as the VF-25, like the FF-3001[

    2. Strengthen the airframe to current G-Force/stress levels.

    3. Crash and burn after pushing the fighter well beyond the speeds and thrust ratings the airframe was aerodynamically designed to operate at.

    Nah, just upgrading the VF-1 engines to the same ones of the VF-25 would give it the same performance.

  12. So why did they re-use the VF-0's missiles for the VF-171?

    Probably because instead of wasting time designing a new missile and modeling it for a secondary valk in the series, they decided to re-use the same 3d model that was already done and ready to use.
