not as popular as it should be. Except for the special effects, B7 is the best
scifi-series I've ever seen.

I believe the Daleks were created by the same guy who created Blake's 7: Terry
Nation (who died a few years ago :( )

I always want to take a crack at updating the graphics in cases like this. I
have resisted so far because I have another project I want to complete
(start). The temptation to model an updated dalek is too strong, however. I
think I'll do one this weekend.

I'd really like to make a "special edition" of Blake's 7 using POV-Ray renders
instead of models-on-wires. But I think that's not easy to do, because I will
have to add noise to my animations. And the noise should "match" the original
noise, otherwise the difference between the old, filmed scenes and the new
rendered scenes would be too visible.
Replacing the old scenes with the new ones, isn't really difficult, imho, so
except for the noise, I think I really could do this (if I had enough time that
is :)

Much, much more ambitious than what I was considering. I was thinking more
along the lines of a "special edition" poster.

I already made 3d-models of some of the most important spaceships from Blake's
7, so letting them do things they did in the series is the logical next step :)

You may have the same condition I do. I have plenty of ideas, but the lure
of recreating old ideas is always there. I think it's because my ideas are
just images, whereas the old stuff has a history and identity.
Thanks for giving me the extra nudge I needed. Updating the dalek is going
to be a blast!

This site has some Pov daleks and plans:

Thank you. I looked yesterday, but didn't find any models or plans as nice
as these. He provides source, too.
I already ran a nice one for my desktop.
