The Clone Wars was high end CGI, they just made an artistic decision to make the characters look like puppets rather than people. Remove them from the film and you could have been watching EpIII.
A shot-for shot upgrade is not something the studio would do, but is within the realms of a dedicated amateur. I think there's already one or two projects going on right now updating the effects shots in a TOS episode. No mean feat if it comes off.

It was on a Lightwave forum I used to frequent. I think the guy was trying to remake the CGI shots in The Ultimate Computer episode, and doing pretty well. There was another project I remember doing shots from a more planet based episode, but i dont remember which.

Try these two tests for TOS characters CGI.
quote: Paramount seriously considered making a CGI series based on the Original Series. There were also two video tests from the project that were leaked to the public.
Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury cancelled 1999 videogame (unreleased from developer Interplay). see the video at 1:25.
quote: The game used motion-capture and voxel technology, priding itself on attention to detail. Developers bragged about getting DeForest Kelley's forehead bump in 3D, as well as the accurate reproduction of Leonard Nimoy's "5 o'clock shadow" on his shaved eyebrows.

Oh, yes, I was thinking why nobody had mentioned Secret of Vulcan Fury yet... and to think that it was from 10 years ago... too bad it didn't get released in the end.

where E was long winded, this cat was nonsensical...

Fab, do they really make bots for shit like this? o.O I mean, i thought bot-programs where just for spammage of linkies and such (basically not to advertise but to harrash and annoy)?

Idk, but this bloke has all the trademarks of a bot. Nothing makes sense; it just seems to be finding posts and posting nonsense.
The most interesting thing about this, is that it seems this bot was a test of some sort. Someone had to create the account initially... either that or Flare's CAPTCHA needs to be bumped up.

don't you guys (who run web servers and what-not) have the ability to track and locate IP's (so you can guess where the perp lives? or possibly better predict if they are legit?

As I understand it, spamming without any sort of links or anything can be a test to see what sites the spammers can pull their shit on without getting filtered out.

Can I get a thread revive down here? Ah-thank you.
If anybody's still even remotely interested in this and hasn't yet seen it, the guys that proposed this have put some stuff up regarding the would-have-been show at http://zeroroom.squarespace.com/.
The original pitch is there plus a few near finalised designs (dig the new E, or not) and the first couple of storyboards of the pilot. It would have been a five or six episode arc.

I liked some of their earlier concepts for the Enterprise alot better than what they came up with. Looks like a Federation Starship and a Star Destroyer had an illegitimate child.
The overall project concept isn't bad, but I don't like the drawing style at all.
