ABSOLUTE ZERO: Very Cool Websites

Absolute Zero is our in-house title for posts relating to really cool websites.  Yeah, yeah, fans sure do love their word play.  I get a twinge of a chuckle every time I think of some website host getting notified of a post covering their website that starts out with the phrase “Absolute Zero”…

But anyway.  This week I’ve got an Absolute Zero site to bring to your attention – The Sci-Fi Reference Library

Yes indeed, it’s our first Facebook – based page.

The page is maintained by some guy named John Warner – who I know absolutely nothing about – other than the fact that he posts some great images related (primarily) to SF film making.

These appear to be CGI renderings of some of our favorite things from SF Film – and they are incredibly detailed and awesome:

A Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica

The Cavorite Sphere from Wells’ First Men in the Moon

The Time Machine from Wells’ The Time Machine

The Toilet on the bridge of the Jupiter II from Lost in Space

A Ralph McQuarrie concept drawing for Star Wars

Another iconic McQuarrie from Star Wars

Apollo Astronaut

One of the Droids from Silent Running

Robot B9 from Lost in Space

Each image is usually shown from multiple angles and accompanied by detail shots.  If you’re looking for examples of CGI SF art – or are planning on making an SF film reliant on CGI – I’d head on over to the Sci-Fi Reference Library.
