jenius Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I don't mind CG mecha if they are done well, like in Macross Zero, but the CG here just looked bad, like about 3 generations behind that of Macross Zero. There was very little surface texture to the mecha and ships. They just looked too CG IMO and not believable. I agree with this and it is spot on what I thought about Vandread when I first watched it. I had a friend in another room ask me "What the hell are you watching" the first time I had it on, my response was "A cartoon with ishtty CG and big-boobied girls." I ended up really liking the show though. Honestly, if I like a show and want more of it I'm really okay with them not making it flashy. I would have much rather had five more episodes of MacrossZero to help develop the story better at the expense of some of its flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yep, not really impressed to be honest......i'm starting to think more and more if I find it for download, I'll do that instead of waisting 24.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I really would have prefered the mecha and ships to be traditional cell animation though, not CG. I don't mind CG mecha if they are done well, like in Macross Zero, but the CG here just looked bad, like about 3 generations behind that of Macross Zero. There was very little surface texture to the mecha and ships. They just looked too CG IMO and not believable. 364241[/snapback] Yeh, I noticed that too. The It's not the cleanest CG. Some of the edges look a little too sharp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Looks like a PS1 cutscene. 364249[/snapback] Har har. You obviously haven't played any PS1 games in a while. But seriously guys, what I love best about all these Robotech threads is all the really funny insults you guys bust out. I bet all of you stay up late into the night thinking these up.

I assumed he meant pre-rendered cutscenes. At which point system power is totally irrelevant. It's just a way to date the production value.

myk Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the trailer didn't look quite as bad as I was expecting and I wouldn't mind giving the whole thing a try when it's released. 364241[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Futurama had better CG (I miss futurama....) 364352[/snapback] Southpark's use of CG is better. If that is the quality of their CG then they should have went with cell work. All the vehicles are simple in design and don't seem to be doing that in much complex moves. A bunch of square shapes. I didn't like that CG was used in Macross Zero either but it looked like was used the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zor Primus Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Macross Zero CG absolutely destroys this. But I will wait and see how it turns out. 364788[/snapback] I'll need to see more footage but yeah M0's first shot of Roy switching to Battloid was amazing to see. The CG is so well done it almost fools you to think its cell. M0 set the bar pretty high to beat imo. So far Shadow Chronicles doesn't look like it has gotten close.

JsARCLIGHT Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 While I still think the CG has much to be desired it has actually improved a good deal from the last clip I saw. I still think it clashes with the cel animation to the point of drawing too much attention to itself but at least it's not as bad as it used to be. I'm still of the opinion that if this show is free (broadcast or on cable) I'll watch it but if I have to buy it then I'm still in the "no thanks" crowd. It's one thing to see it free on TV and not like it, it's another thing all together to have to pay $20 for it and then not like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 It'd be a blessing if they just charged $20. Have there been any developments as of late? I don't forsee this project ever seeing daylight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I don't forsee this project ever seeing daylight... That seems like crazy talk at this point. If this is all just smoke and mirrors they're spending a lot of money on the smoke. Who knows what will come out of this but certainly something will... even if it's only a half hour OVA that costs you $20 or is thrown in as an extra on the next RT boxset.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Right now it seems decent but being that Robotech 3000 never got off the ground much, I dunno. This is BY far a ton farther than robotech 3000 got, and already looks like it is way better than sentinels(then again sentinels was horrible so....anything probably is better...haha). Eh well for their sake I hope it turns out at least decent. Maybe it will turn out good. If it turns the msrp of the MPC's down then bravo!

yellowlightman Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 It's a stand alone movie/OAV. Notice the "completed" status. 88 minutes isn't bad for an OAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 the voice overs seem typical american dub work... which is to say over acted and stiff... oh well... visually the CGI seems to take a lot from Firefly and the new BSG. I think i'll give it a shot when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hey remember that fake Robotech live action movie that someone made with our suggestions here. Mark Hamil was billed to play Exedore. We deserve our 10% cut of his salary for casting! Mr. Hamil can send his check of $6.74 to Macrossworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
