Title: What do _you_ want to see from from HLP?
Post by: Setekh on March 08, 2001, 11:28:00 pm
Got any suggestions for site design, or new projects to make? Think the site could be improved some way? Tell us about it, and we'll see what we can do!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

With all the new 3d artists around here,..a little FAQ would be a nice touch. Kind of a "tips from the pros" sort of thing.

Ideas:

Tips on thruster glows
general ship positioning
Weapons fire techniques.


Simple things to help newbies at 3d design get going.............LIKE ME   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Tips on POF to cob conversion


maybe even set up downloads for a few COB files for those interested in the art to start giving it a shot for themselves. I'm sure alot out here could have great talent but might not have a clue about reverse conversion  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Also I'd suggest an art forum itself,..simply for posting up new art.

Also something I've mentioned to both Thunder and Set, a cross game database of POF and Textures files from FS2 and SHP and Texture files from SL might be an idea, if working with Lancers Reactor we could get a lot of new things going for both game comunities  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Ok my 2 cents just ran out and I've got a bill collector calling about another nickle  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I would like to see a section where all the great 3D modelers can be contacted from. Details could include email and ICQ numbers if any. Then, if anybody in the community wants help for a 3D model, they can always come to HLP to contact them.

A full-fledged POF editor, that allows creation of vertices, faces, and models from scratch. And a skin level.  And also generates a table file to go with it.

You have no idea  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
I'm working on one now actually, but it kinda stalled due to school work. I'll finish it off to a point and then put it up, I can allways add to it later  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well - lets put it this way...

In 3 months I have my GCSEs (very important exams).

After that I have approximately 10 to 15 weeks of complete and utter _nothing_. You can just imagine what we can accomplish in that time - by the end of the summer holidays this place may be anything up to twice or three times as big as it is now.

Will you have a section about the source code?

Maybe some tips or ideas.

What about making a section where all the POF files of the various ships in FreeSpace 2 have been converted into the most common 3D formats lke 3DS Max and COB??

3DS = 3D Studio

Max = 3D Studio Max

I may be wrong but I think there are two versions.

Whenever I say 3DS I mean 3DSMax - that way I don't get them confused with Max Sterling. I always thought there was only one version  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I'm not sure. In school, I learnt 3D Studio Max then later Maya. maya is way easier to use but supports very limited formats to export as.
