Some of those look like they were stolen out of Starcraft

The preview on their website looked kinda intriguing but also like something to watch just to laugh at.

from the promos, it look like they're doing a CG version of a book published in the 80s, hypothetical (ie: sci-fi) exobiology in the form of a survey report of an alien ecosystem.

the book was not without merit, as fruits of a fairly rigorous mental exercise.

For one thing, I believe the life forms would look like a DU convention, only not as weird.

I have the book, its called Expedition , by sci-fi fantasy artist Wayne Barlowe. Excellent stuff; the aliens are truly alien, not people and animals in rubber masks.

BTW, I'm taking an extended trip. If any USA bound FREEPERS who are friendly sorts and have wanted to meet for lunch or tea or some such--please let me know where you are and I'll let you know if I'm going to be in your area. Shoot--FREEPMAIL me and I might tell you where I'm going to be first.
