See the battlecruiser USS Columbia in action!

I'm not quite sure if this is the right board, but I think that it is.

I am an amateur 3-D modeler and animator, and I've made several animations of the battlecruiser USS Columbia, and I've decided to showcase some of them here.

First up, some relatively short ones from YouTube:

Columbia decloaking:

Columbia exiting hyperspace:

And a rough test for weapons and shields. (Sorry about the poor quality on this one...MovieMaker mangled it.)

Lastly, the longest uploaded animation that I have: The USS Columbia faces off against a planet destroying probe, with a little help.

NOTE: To view this one, you'll need the DivX codec, available at www.divx.com/. You will also need a relatively fast internet connection, since the file is 24 MB. Just click "save link as" to see it (it always freezes up on me when I try to click on it directly.)

Hopefully there will be more animations to come in the future. Meanwhile, let me know what you think of these, please!

That's cool!

Here's a brand-new rendered picture of the USS Columbia: she's firing virtually all of her directed energy weapons. The violet beams are her point defense laser cannons. The golden yellow blasts are her rail guns, and the orange-ish blasts are her wing-mounted plasma cannons.

Pretty!

That's a frickin' salvo!

Beautiful...

I'm glad you're on our side! ;D

And she's not even firing her missiles, either.
