I have a large hangar modeled in 3D Max which could be used as a background, and I belive I alos have some minor props, but I can easily make a few more - a chair, a monitor set..

I was thinking something liek this for the background:

Found something new in the program - dunno if these'll be of use to anyone at all, but they were fun to make

On the topic of head anis,

Is there any quick way to convert .bik animations/videos to .ani/full frames or so?

[The E]

You need the RAD game tools package to do anything with bik anims.

[ShadowGorrath]

Well, I got those. I just want to know how to convert the bik animations to full frames, or indexed full frames, or something to allow easier conversion to eff for head anis.

[The E]

The bink converter included in that package can do that.

Glad you're having fun B_W ... Now get back to work!!!!!

Anyone given my ufo a go yet?

Oh fine



Experimenting with animated backgrounds, plus this fellow has a chair (it even swivels ). I'm actually really happy with how he turned out, hence why he's now Civ01 - those first two are now out the door, and no longer acknowledged as ever having existed .

Oh, and take a squiz at the logo on his shirt

Triton Dynamics makes muscle shirts?

...That's weird advertisement, my friend...

[Colonol Dekker]

Why not, Lambhorghini and Porsche do..........

Triton Dynamics uses muscle shirts as a corporate uniform?

He must work for their male escort department.

[Black Wolf]

It's not a corporate uniform. Just a logo on a shirt. No different to bogans walking around in Ford or Holden shirts.

[Black Wolf]

Current project, as yet unanimated.

[EDIT]Oh, and some feedback on these more recent ones would be nice - suggestions, things to change etc.

[Galemp]

Well, I'd still like to see a better mic...

[Black Wolf]

More like this?



That'll be being used for the next generation of Command anis, once I get a better GTVA uniform. For now, civilians and non military personnell are getting the old style mic to differentiate them.

[Black Wolf]

And here she is.

Animated since the original pic, obviously, and I darkened her skin tone a bit. A bit simpler than Civ01 - only very minor BG animation and whatnot. And again, I used a corporate logo as a minor detail, mostly to keep things in the FS universe without using the GTVA symbol, which people immediately assume means military.

This'll probably be the last public one for awhile - I'll be doing TI ones for the next little while (specific heads for major civilian installations and pirates, mostly) No new command anis until I get a decent-ish GTVA uniform, which'll probably mean modelling it myself... not so hard, really, but not a priority either. I'll practice clothes modelling on a pirate flightsuit first. Oh, and I will redo the third freighter ani and post up the results.

That said, if anyone has any specific requests or ideas which I can do with the props I have available, I'd be willing to listen. TBH, I can't think of much more to do other than just churning out civvies ATM.

Any suggestio nregarding background - look at hte pics I posted at hte top. Darker background, lots of monitors. Possibly some CAG type board.
