He means, little Shivan POFs that can be launched from fighterbays and attack fighters with a special short-range beam cannon.
The answer is no... but it would be awesome. Venom has a hi-poly Shivan model, maybe he can tone it down and turn it into a POF.

speaking of little beings.... i'm currently looking for a pof of a human (in spacesuit, but dead nonetheless, preferably with some bloodstains)..... anyone have one?
Cheers,

Lucarts wuld probably have yur head, but you could use either the Civ, Imp, or Rebel pilots from XWA...
As for the shivan Idea, it would be good, very good
-
XWA?
What's that? :)
Cheers,

How about a fighter-smashing shiphit2 style Shivan? :D

A what? :confused:
-
Exactily CP5670. Like the one that attacks the Vasudan in one of the extra movies. Unfortunately I have zero modding skills:( Does anyone competent want to make this? (Or already has?)
-
XWA = Xwing Alliance.
It would be cool to have them as a sort of ejection deal too.
-
I'll make that... some day.

Descent3 has some human models. See if you can extract them or whatnot.

If anyone knows how to extract D3 models into 3DS format, let me know. I've got a hankering to compare a Magnum to a Herc...

blackshark? I dubt a herc SHOULD be able to survive one :p

I can imagine squads of marines is space suits fliying from the transport to the dock of a ship they're boarding.
Or a fight in-space of shivans and marines......:D
*runs off to make simple human/shivan models*

:nod: Amen, brother. :lol: I doubt it's even fast enough to get away from the explosion...Speaking of D3, I remember somewhere that someone had successfully gotten a Phoenix into Freespace....oh how I'd love to use a Pheenie in Freespace to shoot down some naughty Shivans ;7 But then there'd be no slide...bleh...
-
Yes there is, just put it in the tables, and map some keys with FS2_Open. Boosh!
Back on topic... anyone gonna do this? I think Venom's on it, judging from this thread. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,14825.0.html)

The slide or human/shivan models?
Both is COOL!:yes:

yeah, that's me. also gotten the magnum, the GL, the hood, the hawk, etc etc. even made the GX from D1/D2 ( for some reason, I couldn't convert those ).

nah, nothing to do with that, but it can apply too, yeah. but as you've noticed, I'm being blatantly ignored in that thread :doubt:
what about some support, folks?
Oh well, i've nothing to do today, I'll make you a shivan, and dead terran and vasudan pilots, what about that? :)
-
sweeeet :D
One thing: Don't forget how big Shivans are to humans and how big Vasudans are to humans too for that matter :)

well, do some chirurgy and we'll talk about it again :D ( jocking ;) ). I promised Sandwhich to make one anyway.
mesh is done and half mapped, took a break, I'm making a ship for woomeister right now.
-
hop, I'm done, I think I've broken a new time record :D
(http://www.swooh.com/premium/venom/variouspics/shivan.jpg)
790 polys, 1 1024*1024 map. I still have lot of room on the map, probably add more elements for a dead shivan, etc, all using the same map.
Galactic Emperor, you can add that to your list, mesh and map by venom, conversion by woomeister ( I'm sure he will :D ), for ott.
don't worry, once it's converted, i'll put it available right away anyway, but it'll find a place in ott w/o a doubt :)

nice, but where's the plasma beam?
and the red eyes?

isn't the pic big enough? the plasma beam is exactly where it's supposed to be ( I've made it bigger after making that pic tho ), and the red eyes are orange, coz the pics I have from volition have shivan with orange eyes, not red.

oh,ok.
i never seen any cutscenes with shivans, just the images on the descentnet website, since my FS is kinda, uhm, you know, like, err,i dopmn't wanna get banned like Stealth. but the real version is on it's way.
request: can youmake am animation of a shivan chewing up a (Free) Terran?

too bad, perhaps you can releasethe mesh, so someone else can.
this way, we can make an animated welcome for n00bs.
*thinks*
animation, animation
*thinks*
this might be something for that HLP animation for 3dap, don't you think?

the highpoly shivan I've released is probably better for that. pb is I've lost it :p

im searching, but all i found for now is a fighter and a bunch of red x's :sigh:
edit: it'sconfirmed, all i can find are red x's, i ran a search on high poly shivan in venom's posts, but to no avail.
does anyone have it?

well I had it hosted at HLP, but since the guys at 3dap have found funny to delete my folder for a fake reason, it's lost for me.
well I still have it in a scene, but it's not in basic pause and it's a pain to put back on default.

Try Vasudan Admiral - We were talking about this just the other day - I think he has the mesh... - I think.

How do you do those models anyway Venom? The only thing i ever managed to model (sofar) was a bucket, and the texturing went out of the window... ;)
BTW, can ships in FS be set to "move"? It would be cool if we could actually animate those shivans ingame :) (or a preset movement pattern would also do)
As for surgery... no thx ;)
Cheers,

how? with my mouse, my keyboard and 3dsmax :D
and nope, sadly, can't animate models in fs2.
-
Well Duh ;)
I mean, how do you go about it? Do you do it in a 3way view, in the 3D Perspective view, how do you create the objects? With primitives or another way?
Or even better, make a tutorial ;) j/k :)
Cheers
-
for the view, depends, I keep switching between them.
I started the shivan from a box.
I almost always start from a box, in fact.
-
I'm no expert on in game mechanics, but what about making the shivans top two arms into turrets with firepoints but no assigned weapons? Wouldn't that make them track targets? It might be a little primitive, but they'd move... to a point.
-
well, you'd actually need a dummy weapon with no animations and no damage for firing points to be at all useful if memory serves. Plus there are logistical issues with "moving" the arms, and I'm sure venom has better things to do than that.
-
Make the Shivans flyable ;)

Do you edit it with boolean operations? Or just deform it untill it looks like what you want?

Cheers,
no, I don't often use boolean unless it really makes things simpler. I extrude, bevel, weld vertices, turn edges, cut polys, etc etc.
I already thought about that turret thing for the arms, but there's a couple issues:
1) the basic position of a turret, tsupidly enough, is "pointing up". so if I let the arms in that position, when it targets something, the arms will go down ( depressed shivan :p ). if I place the arms up at the begining, the shivan will look stupid ( cheerful shivan :p )
2) they will rotate in every direction, imagine if the ship the shivan targets goes behing it ( broken shivan ).
btw, for that "weaponless turret" thinguy, a thing i've done quite some time ago, and that I should share with you ( doesn't have much link with what's said above, but the idea is the same ):
it was for my Descent campaign, I wanted the lifter ( you know, the green bot with claws ) to scream, like in descent. how to make that? with an engine sound, it would just loop stupidly.
so I gave the thing a weapon that does not damage, no visual effects, nothing, and gave the lifter scream sound as the weapon launching sound. it worked great :)

You know, added some additional polys this would make an exceptional FPS enemy.

yeah, that's right, this also remembers me of the Fenris internal deck layout thread from Sandwich, we should finish that, now shouldn't we, my dear edible fellow?
BTW, i'm kinda hungry :drevil:

Wow - just got back from a weekend camping/hiking trip up north. Pooped as all heck - darn hurricane winds the first night and mosquitoes the second. :p
Ahh, yes, the Fenris. As I see things, I have a more set schedule nowadays, with an actual job I got out of the house for. This means that my time at home is just that - mine. :D I have a number of HLP/FS related projects that I'd like to complete, and the current one is the reworking of the GVCa Amaunet. After (or during) that, probably a little something with Darkage, followed by finishing that asteroid base. Then perhaps reviving the FS -> Serious Sam project both here and on the Seriously forums, which would have the Fenris deck layout as part of the project. :D
Phew!

Ship layouts, models, art, etc. for the FSfps.

Ahh... not sure. The first MOD was supposed to be an RF one.
