[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] *: Multiple warp flashes are one of my favorite little details, and one way to see the evolution of special effects is to note how we almost never saw more than one ship go to warp before Enterprise, with the exception of Generations. In fact, was Generations the first time we saw more than one flash at a time? [/qb][/QUOTE]I believe so. It should be noted though that the ships at the end were all models, and not CGI. At that time there was a bit of an evolution in the warp "stretch" effect. The original Ent-D shots all had the stretch effect, but they used a small model and the combined talents of ILM. When they got to doing the DS9 runabout warp effects, they cheated slightly and had the ship "smear" rather than stretch. Then along comes Generations, and it's fancy-schmancy CGI Enterprise-D, which was used for all the warp effects, since the elastic-band effect was relatively easy to do in CGI. However, since they didn't have CGI models of the Nebula, Oberth and Miranda models, they could do an easy stretch-snap effect. So they didn't. The ships don't stretch at all. The early Defiant warp shots also show the smear effect rather than the stretch-snap effect, but after that, with CGI becoming more common, they all now do it properly. Yes. Although I have guessed most of the above. [/QB][/QUOTE]
