WillyP, I didn't know you played Battlezone(the Strategy/action version, NOT the arcade version), I remember playing that game.

Anywho, here is the Summoner(or Thor to the Inner Sphere)\"-

(found the wallpaper from the offical Classic Battletech site)

I don't play BZ, but the kids love it.

Sapphire Wolf · Post by **Sapphire Wolf** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 7:50 pm

Oh, okay. I haven't played that game for a long time and I still have the CD of it.

Hey, WillyP, where did you find that wallpaper?

Alter-Fox · Post by **Alter-Fox** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 9:52 pm

This is my current desktop. Very messy. The walpaper is a screenshot from my first D3 level, although it was small and unscripted and had many non-planar faces. (You may notice a some mercenary robots, including some charging bees and a black stormtrooper firing a mass driver round.)

I've had that image for so long, I don't remember.

I don't know where this one came from, either:

That's Vista too.

Here's my \"laptop\" screen capture:
(from left to right, the characters are: EDIT: Marie Crystal, Nova Satori, Dana Sterling, and Zor Prime).

I got this Robotech: The Masters wallpaper from here(WARNING: Ads and some images on main page that are NSFW(e.g. nudity, even though I can handle nudity now(not much of a perv though)
I do have the complete collection of Robotech: The Masters but my volume 8 turned out to be corrupted(e.g. when I'm trying to watch the episode Stardust and the others after stardust in vol. 8, my dvd player declared it a bad disk(no scratches, or brokeness)) My only choice is to buy a fresh vol.8 via robotech.com(If I have enough money).

Are you kidding me, you don't remember?

Would you want a 6-8" pyro on your desk thread.

Well ... I finally had to buy a new monitor.

WOW! Very impressive!

And I thought I was good.

Thank you for your compliment . . .

Welcome.

Is one of your programs vector-based ...
like the one you make the original with?

My first graphics progam (after I got bored with Windows Paint Brush

)
was Corel Draw which is really cool but my my "thing" is more suited to paint programs.

Cool! Yeah, I remember the 6-8" pyro thread, I just did not remember where I had gotten that image...

Future???

I really appreciate all your info and if I were younger I'd probably go for it. As it is, I'm very content just playin' around. Besides, you know what "they" say about teaching old dogs.

Oh man! Sexy! Wallpaper heaven! Does bubba still have the digital model somewhere? We should see if we can implement it into D2X-XL.

Already been asked.

The answer is no. The poly count is crazy. Over a million or something like that....

Nothing to forgive

I don't even know why I said that - just tryin' to be funny I guess. I just turned 63 and hope I never stop learning. Just not CAD
