This page makes me think the computer-generated effects mostly came
out of a program called LightWave, running on a few unspecified "workstations" (the product is available for both Macs and Windows PCs), in the hands of an animation/visual-effects shop called Radical3d: http://www.newtek.com/lightwave/prof...ight/index.php You now know as much as I do and hopefully not less than you did before. Cheers, --Joe |

Cheers, --Joe Well, that about sums it up. Thanks... "The animation was of sufficient quality to make some History Channel representatives believe they were viewing actual historical camera footage."

The first time I saw it, I tuned in midway through the program and I was astonished that they had found a Mig-15 and F-86 in that good of condition to re-enact a scenario. It wasn't until there was a kill that I put two and two together. Now I've got Season 1 on DVD. Love the show. |

Yeah, the airplanes don't go whare they should in accordance with the attitudes they are in . Bertie History Channel's been running an afternoon marathon of sorts today. Spotted another little niggle: they were just showing a Spad XIII rolling inverted and going by in a head-on pass from an opposing pilot's POV in an Albatross. As the Spad whips past, the perspective goes into super-slow-mo mode... So I idly glance at the screen, and something don't look right. Take a closer look, and lo, either that 'ole Hispano's spinning the wrong way, or somebody put the prop on backwards; it's spinning *against* the pitch. Doh! No big thing, but it was cute to catch that one... |
