Description

"Few men would have believed in the last days of the nineteenth century, that human affairs was being studied and scrutinized by minds cooler and more ancient than man's."-- H.G. Wells And so began the War of the Worlds! I was inspired by the film from the 1950's. The elegance of the Martian War-machine was only equalled by it's magnificent fearful sound-effects. In that spirit I tried to visualize a precursor of it. The tripod of the London invasion comes to life! Hope you like it! Media is Poser 6, Wings, and particles run amuck!Origninal mesh by D Proctor, modified for Poser by CliveP, plus an addition of Nazaki's original design. Added and subtracted parts until it looked right to me. Next time, back to the continued story

works for me, I'm also a fan of the '50s version. the remake was ok, but it just didn't have the same feel, even though it followed the book closer than the old movie.

Nicely done. I really like all the golden fiery colors in there. The green lasers could use some edge softening, but the red works for me. Nice.

possibly little-known fact; the movie in the 50's (George Pal, if'n I remember correctly) didn't have legs because they didn't have animation or effects that would look realistic..;) of course, I'm reminded of the disco albumn of the 70's (Wayne's..;), but that's me..;) great stuff..
