Martians

Tried out the War of the Worlds Download in Celestia.

It worked OK. The fighting machines looked good, and the script worked, with some nice ideas on the recreation of the scenes at Horsell Common.

I used the .jpg version, of the download, rather than the .dds (which I think is a Microsoft only file format).

However the overall feeling was "a bit naff" - no point in trying to do something that's already been done with far better special effects elsewhere, but still a bit of fun all the same. The script has been written by a German chap, and I think that this shows.

On the whole the flying/orbiting spacecraft look better.
