Ok people exciting XR2 news.... The XR2 received a third place for its WIP thread on SCIFI meshes, "Meshies Awards" (best of 2010)
behind a, err, half finished, unpainted Millennium Falcon and a somewhat more interesting WIP that's been running for even longer than even this particular immense thread.... I'll be honest I really didn't expect any of them other than the one which got first place to end up in the top 3.
If I only I'd bothered to rig the entries and votes eh?
Anyway, my thanks to anyone who voted for the XR2 over there, I didn't mention it in here, or to anyone from here or anywhere else, content to quietly observe as I find myself doing more and more often these days.
I didn't want to cause an influx of Orbiter forum-eers or anyone else over there to influence things.
Since its really such a Star Trek / Star Wars oriented site, and has little to do with real time models, people tend to be modelled detail junkies over there.
So this was actually quite an achievement for a video game model and I hope testament to its appealing design that i've worked really hard on, which has a lot to do with Doug for inspiring me with his coding and vision with the XR's, orbiter forum members and the orbiter specific designs which preceded it... This model would not have existed at all, but for the likes of the delta gliders and the XR1 mod, Orbiter itself and the community.
Did i just make an award speech? And to think I didn't even really win anything.... Still it was worth a mention, nice to feel slightly special, 3rd special at least. haha.
