Yep. I think we can all agree that the graphics are outstanding this time. To me they have always suffered in the past but then again the PCs keep getting bigger and faster not to mention our graphics cards capabilities.

At this rate I'll soon be out of a job as a CGI visual effects person. Or I'll just use the game engines. For most shows like the History Channel they are nearly good enough as it is.

Kylania thats a great screen with Bernard. The other man on watch looks annoyed with him.

2010 SubsimMachFest
 

What is SubsimMachFest? It is our very own short film festival! Welcome to the second Annual Subsim Machinima Short Video Festival. Contenders for the awards will be posted on http://au.youtube.com/user/SubsimMachFest I'm looking for the best 7 minute machinima videos containing a submarine that you can create.

Being Subsim we need a theme for our vid fest and of course it is submarines. It doesn't matter if you don't use a sub sim to make your vid but in the 7 minutes you have to include at least one submarine whether it is simulated or otherwise.

So all you budding machinima makers, crank up your skills for a chance to win one of the following awards:

1. Best of the Fest
2. Best Comedy
3. Best Drama
4. Best Director
5. Best Cinematography
6. Peoples choice

The rules for entries are simple:

1. All entries must be received by 5pm AEST (Sydney, Australia) on 30 April 2010. Any entries received after this time will not be considered.
2. All entries must be less than 7 mins long and must contain a submarine, simulated or otherwise. Other than that I don’t care what games or tools you used to create your entry.
3. All entries should have ending credits which include the following text or voiceover: "Dive into the Web's #1 Submarine and Naval Resource: SUBSIM.com"
4. Entries can be mailed on digital media or made available to me to download. To notify me of your entry by PM or e-mail. PM me to obtain my e-mail address.
5. Individuals may submit as many entries as they wish
6. All entries being considered for an award will be posted by me on the SubsimMachFest youtube channel.
7. All entries must be your own work although using material from other sources is allowed as long as it is properly credited. I have no interest in holding the rights to the videos other than the right to post them on the SubsimMachFest site.
8. All content must comply with the posting rules for Subsim, so no porn, racial or political vilification or abuse of any sort will be considered valid.
9. This is my film festival and I am the judge so if you have any complaints about my judging talk to the hand cos it’s mine and the entries have to please me. :O:
10. As the judge I cannot enter the competition in any way shape or form.

Post here if you are interested in taking part or know someone who would be. Any questions post ‘em here also.

That's great. Now if I can only figure out why Fraps stopped working with SH5 and 4. Anyone have any insight? I've tried uninstall and reinstalling.

It was working before. Fraps works with all other games. But not with Ubisoft out of nowhere.

Steve

As I figured ever time I'd try to run anything 64 bit with Fraps running it would cause it ti crash. So I upgraded to the latest version that fixes the 64 bit issues and it works fine now. Hope this helps someone else because this sort of thing can be a real pain in the stern!

Steve

P.S. And a time eater!

Here's another test using the latest version of fraps for 64 bit.

Much better I think.

we are all proud on our achievements as submarine commander.
don't we all remember our first kill(those where exiting moments!)?

well,some of us even have screenshots of those moments on their wall,above their computer monitor,just to have a look at it once in a while and then whipe away a tear..."man,my first kill.i remember it as if it was yesterday..."

i can tell you my first SHV kill pictures will get no further than the toiletroom-wall!
my fist kill was...:oops:...eh...a friendly submarine.
but nevertheless,here are the shots!
