Vor'Cha and Runabout meshes are on the way!

MESHES! you been asking for them now they are ready for download on the geocities wolf mirror site. USS Defiant/Voyager/1701-A and several more are already there and more will be added soon Download meshes You have to read a terms and conditions page first but once you agree you will goto a page with over six of our meshes to download

Three more Warriors Way stills have gone up this week, sorry about the delay but I and the rest of the pack have been really busy. My main excuse is that I've been stuck playing Soul Blade (On Sony PSX) far to much, first time off I've given myself in months :)

The mirror page is starting to get its own features now, the new mesh download page is the first. A 3D Studio Tutorial page will be added soon as I get lots of requests for this

Well nearly fours months old now, wolf359 seems to be appearing on most search engines these days and most of the big TREK WWW sites are also recommending us. My Mail on AOL tends to be about 40-50 messages a day so its seems people actually like the site . Coming soon are more Warriors Way pictures, some borg/defaint shots and lots more, plus more meshes will soon be added to the meshes page (Ruanbout and Vor'Cha next)

Never have I had such an easy victory

Is it real or is it Memorex?

Wolf359 has a Klingon 3D Stills Gallery! Klingon 3D Stills

Four new stills on-line. All the new ones have gone straight into GFX of the month. Which might get re-named GFX of the week as I seem to be updating Wolf every week now!

DS9 got re-mapped and lots of detail added this week, I can't add anymore although the outer ring needs more detail as I seem to have hit a technical ceiling with Studio R4. It won't let me add anymore objects or faces to the main DS9 model!

Before you all start mailing complaining that you want to see Warriors Way part one (see GFX of the month) and you don't have access to AOL. Don't worry I'll post it here in about a months time. This still is part of a big series going up over the next few weeks and I have placed it on the Star Trek club on AOL only! for a limited time as a thank you to the poeple who frequent that club and the guys and girls who run it. Several 3D Stills are only availble here so its only fair! Besides the people who run the Trek club on AOL have never moaned about me giving WOLF 359 a tag in the stills I post on there severs and this is a rare treat these days.

Only Bespin left to model and the AT-AT left to mapp! Possibly 10 new stills next week.

Theres nearly 150 megs of 3D Stills compressed to 3.5 meg here now!

Is this to be an empathy test?

The Klingons are here! in GFX of the Month(Last editorial)

Four brand new stills this week, more on the way, after two months solid work I now have a stunning (Perhaps the worlds best outside of the film industry) collection of SF fan meshes. They are all looking real' good. Just have the AT-AT, Galor, Runabout and DS9 to go (these are all the BIG mapping jobs!).

Then a stunning collection of at least 40 new stills will appear here, whats here now is just a mere taste of whats to come. Many of the meshes are now looking Photo-Realistic in the extreme! Some are getting really complex and my P133 is beginning to show its age!

Anyway hopefully this is the last week of me in building and mapping land. Now, I get to have some fun in Video Post with this lot n' you lot, will have a great big free collection of SF windows background art! :)

Wolf is now 2 months old!

Heard about the bovine torpedo!!!!!!!!!

Award number two now, better make sure I deserve it by posting some more art huh?

The awards from K'mel who runs a klingon site thats well worth a visit, (its on the home page!) Well a short little ed' during mid week. E-Mail is going crazy although I'm still just about managing to reply to everyone.

AT-AT, Imperial Shuttle, Snowspeeder, Bespin matte shots and Falcon are all on the way Star Wars side. Star Trek side the good ol' Defiant and new version of the Vor'Cha are on the way (Plus a few more surprises!).

Lots of the new stuff has been made while I'm upgrading and re-lighting and mapping these vessels. But I'm holding off posting to much of this sort of thing because they will all start appaering in shots together rather than simple portfolio shots.

Just found out about squeezy cheez, eating Nacho's till I explode...

To THX or not, that is the question?

Hey Wolf's won an award, our very first award and whats makes this one so great is that it's comes from one of the best trek WW sites I know. Many Thanks to Angel Swan for making my day. I'll get a hyper-text link done this week-end so that you can click the ward button (it's on the homepage) and vist Angel Swan's site.

There are two new pictures in GFX of the month, I've upgraded the A-wing mapps since I posted the still monday, So the new version has just gone up with a picture of the new B-wing and mapps as well. Plus a special surprise for the GFX header picture, which in a way, is a taste of things to come very soon.

The Tie fighters are up now on the war.html (Star Wars gallery page)

More Pictures are being moved over to Wolfpak803 to clear up space on the main 359 server. So far this hasn't seemed to affect performance. So as time goes by more and more will be added to the Wolf803 server to make more room for new pic's and pages here.

Added over weekend are a FAQ's page, a How do we do that page (Which shows how we make the 3D Stills in 3D Studio with pictures and text and a big upgrade on the size of all those older smaller thumbnails.

Many thanks to Harry Chang as well this week for making his meshes and letting me use them and to the whole Star Wars Modelling Alliance. I already have links so that you can check their sites out. More information on these people and some more info' on who we are is coming soon.

It's friday night and I'm off down the pub to consume some cold beer...

You can feel the force on this site!

Due to technical work this weekend, Several of you had a few problems.

Thanks to Wolfpak359's 2 meg limit getting reached this weekend. Most of the original Star Trek Libary has been moved to Wolfpak803. To make room for new Wolf Gui and 3D Stills. I got quite a few letters over the weekend from people who couldn't find certain stills as they had appeared to gone (I was deleting them left right and center and moving them over to the annex! So I hope it didn't spoil your visit and that you can find the work now.

Let me know if I have missed any more URL's that aren't finding the picture they are supposed to.

Star Date 4/4/1997 (old editorial)

Well nearly two months on-line and my e-mail is going crazy! On average I'm getting about 30 mails a day from this site!

The Links page is growing as more and more sites link up with Wolf 359. I've checked all these sites my self and In my opinion they are some of the best of their type on the web.

Our first European Mirror site will be up and running soon. Over the last two weeks I've been busy getting my CV stills up to scratch. This has meant upgrading over 10 trek meshes and 3 star wars meshes and making nearly 30 new stills. Most of the new work is already here on the Star fleet Portraits page and the new Star Wars image index!

More will be added soon to our first annex URL on AOL. Wolfpak359 has nearly reached its mere 2 meg limit.

NOTE:

A Day after I wrote this ed' Wolf did hit its limit and the annex at Wolfpak803 has had to be opened. This means that WOLF 359 is now over 2 megs and growing fast. I'm beginning to wonder if ten meg's is enough! Several of the older stills have been moved to the annex to make way for the new 3D Stills. All of Wolf's GUI is here on this site to keep loading speeds up. But some of the older picture will have to move over to make way. This may impare loading performance. But most poeple want to see the new stuff fast not the Old stuff.

Let me know if this impares loading performance to badly. If it stinks then I'll make a whole new page for the old trek stills over on Wolfpak803's FTP AOL space that you can jump over to and then come back for the new stuff. If all the Jpegs on Wolf were put up as TGA's not JPEGS then WOLf would be over 50-60 megabytes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I need some sleep so write soon, you hear!

May 3D Studio be with you always...

Welcome again to WOLF 359, new 3D Stills will be gracing the GFX of the month page, several new pages are already on-line with some new features as well.

WWW Links have been added under the new links page. And lots of new GFX headers and bars have been added in the last two weeks. Thanks to everyone who has mailed and made suggestions!

Our two meg limit under the name wolfpak359 is filling up under AOL's MY PLACE system and very soon several mirror sites will be opening to help with all the traffic wolf is getting at the moment.

Its been a busy two weeks since the last ed' but I hope they have been worth it, the site is progressing nicley and very soon a hi-tech VRML version should be availiable

The new Stills should start appearing next week and for those how have been browsing the site at above 800x600 res I hope the improved HTML code that I've written stops the annoying habits of JPEG's wandering to either side of the screen! Let me know if they still are. I'm still having a few problems with Internet explorer and the way it handles placment. But netscape is proving as great as ever and not fluffing me around at all.

Anyway long new ed next week, keep checking in for new FX.

Peace to you all

Welcome to WOLF 359, your passport to the 3D Stills Collection on the World Wide Web. In the last two years over 300,000 downloads of our work have happened across the web on CIS/ AOL/ WWW and the newsgroups.

Over the past two years we have suffered problems with getting our work on the WWW. CI$ banned us from their own-sites claiming that we didn't own the copyrights to our own work! Even though many of the 3D Meshes you see here are Trademarked to us. And that all of our work is created by us, NONE of it is scans from the TV series or Movies!

Now we are using AOL's members space and heartily recommend AOL as a service provider, not only have they given us 10 megs of WWW space but also supply fast access in the UK. In fact much faster than any other SP we have tried so far!

So even though our work has been availible on a few selected WWW sites and on AOL and CI$ Star Trek clubs and Forums. The rest of the net havn't been able to access our work or even to see any of the new stuff. We'll put that right over the next few months :)

Well since the last sightings of Wolf 359 12 months ago on CIS much has changed. One of the Wolfpak is responsable for making the new 3D Studio Max, We have all got much better! . And our 3D Fan art is fast approaching the quality of the TV Series and perhaps will be as good as the movies shots from First Contact by the end of the year. Anyway hope you like the site, Expansions for WOLF 359 are in the works.

Anyway that's enough for now, keep checking in for new FX.

Peace to you all
