well friend, remember your personal text:     ATM motivated    :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, either you get yourself help for this or you better drop the project (but that would be ssssooooo  :( :( :( disappointing). I cannot help any further then planning the thing, I have no idea how to model.  :sigh:

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
Err, sanity check:
I'd say pick a mix of ideas for event sequences and shots you reckon you can do and just do that. Attempting scenes that are overly complex will only cause headaches. (Character animation of any sort is exceedingly difficult to get looking 'right', so I'd recommend you avoid it at all costs for this kinda thing unless you really, really, really want to)

Also, remember to keep your scene matching the props you have. Ie, any sort of interior shot would require you to build the interior. Any sort of character would require you to build the character, because I don't think any existing models will be suitable for this sort of thing.

Anyone who wants to write up suggestions for sequences, feel free and welcome, but please keep it reasonable. Remember that each scene - even the relatively easy ones, take a long time to make and render and of course rebuild from the ground up when you decide you don't like it. ;) Weaponsfire is hard, explosions are very hard, subspace portals are INSANELY hard, and realistic character animation nigh impossible without some kind of motion tracking equipment and a good actor. :p

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
I know, I know.

Don't forget...       ..."version 1"  :lol: : Let's cut it down, what can be removed without dropping the whole thing?

Explosions and weapons fire may be hard, BUT attack on Tombough station without those would be ridiculous.
The two Comm Officer shots could be removed, replace them with another view out of the window.

More suggestions?

The hard, very hard  and insanely hard comments were more meant to say 'use them sparingly' rather than 'don't use them at all'. :)

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
Weapons fire is a chore for me because I have no particle systems on the renderer I use. From looking at the intro video for FS2 those, most of those 'shooting' bits are actually looping animations on a flat plane oriented towards the camera, kind of like a rolling UV effect on a texture.

That more than anything highlights the need for a high-poly Arcadia model.

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
right....i will only be able to show this station from far away....otherwise it looks not so good....

i know that VA is doing an HTL arcadia, but have not heard about it for a long time  :sigh: so we have to live with that.....

yesterday i also converted the HTL apollo, but the resolution of the textures are still very low....furthermore the cockpit is not so good......if someone has lt. ash as htl, pls tell me ;)

furthermore i need:
- HTL cain
- HTL valkyrie (asked woomaster already)
- shivan (asked styxx for it)
- htl lt ash (if possible)

and now i will convert the orion....

Both the Arcadia and Valkyrie are a considerable way from being finished I'm afraid. :(

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
does not matter.....maybe i can add some detail quickly to the arcadia.....i will try....but mainly it will be fake ;)
regarding the valkyrie.....hmm.....too sad....but you cannot do everything alone in short time.....so do not stress yourself....

btw: orion ready for action

Re: WIP - Cutscene: SD arrives at Tombough-Station
maybe i make it a little bit darker in final, but in principle thats it, because the cb-anim was similar imho....

btw: reworked the orion a little bit. instead of 5500 polys now 9000.....faked real height differences in the textures by copying the whole ship, extruded it slightly and reworked all textures with alpha maps for the second ship-hull.....so the textures produce shadows also without displacement or normal-maps.
