Today we bring you a double dose of EVE goodness. First, we have fourteen images of the Revelations graphics upgrade (DX9, not Vista). These images show off new ships, some screenshots and a side-by-side image. We also have a piece of concept art of their "walking in stations" concept.
Finally, we also have a huge photogallery from the event itself that you can access by clicking the banner below.

I live to fight, and fight to live.

wait till the DX9 upgrades are in the game, even the celestis looks
much better.

(EDIT: The skin doesn't look plastic at all, however I think the clothes could stand to look more "clothy" unless they're supposed to look like patent leather

Is this related to the new Kali expansion?
and does the old ships will be replaced by that cool models? or thats the T3 model?
Nice! I don't currently play the game but I have in the past. Adding avatars into the game and being able to walk around and meet people in the Stations would definitely bring me back to the game.
This game has a lot of potential and would have me quickly back in the fold with avatars and hopes for future ability to walk around in your ship.
What you see is the new DirectX9 based GFX engine and those ships are Tech 1 ships basically all shipstationplanetasteroid models are getting upgraded.
And its part of Kali.
and since Kali/Revelations was suposed to be released in spring 2006, then phase 1 pushed to September and now seems only to be release in 28/11/2006. I really doubt it will come within Kali/Revelations. Also it has never been referenced has a feature to be added in Kali.
They've stated that Kali will be deployed in three parts, Revelations 1, 2, and 3. Revelations 1 is due on November 28, 2006, but I don't know the dates for the other 2. Obviously, these graphical updates are not part of 1.
Err, it doesnt seem so. Please read http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=401 where they state:

That is Kali ONE.
kali is in THREE parts Walking in stations is most likely comming in KALI THREE.
Its speacilly suspect that they will do so within Revelations since it is in such an early stage and they want it to be something so well done with procedural programing and all the buzz words.
kali1 was set to have ships, contracts, the new systems, etc. along with some nerfing :P
kali2 was most to deploy factional warfare
and kali3 was for the graphics.
but hey its my opnion that they wont deploy it in Revelations, it might end up being one of the revelatons :P
Kali 1 - New Ships, UI, Map blah blah etc
Kali 2 - Factional warfare
Kali 3 - Fixes to 1 & 2 ( as announced by Nathan during his speech/show/pre-drunk presentation )
The "walking in station" is concept as of now and if you relate the merger between WhiteWolf and CCP and the plan to make a MMO based on WhiteWolf's IP then you can figure out yourself that the "terrestrial engine" might/could be implemented for EVE-ONLINE in stations ( oh the possibilities ... the possibilities ) and any other MMO that comes out based on WhiteWolf's IP.

Note: IP = Intellectual Property
Walking around "on ships" is a different can o worms.
The stations would be populated by other players whilst a ship would be 1 pilot ( player ) and 60K crew ( battleship e.g. ) so not much to interact with apart the AI.
