Title: Benefits of an Ear Infection
Post by: magatsu1 on November 25, 2003, 03:45:23 pm: Because of my current incapacity to go to work, I decided to have a pop at doing some models. Well, one so far anyway.
"Can you tell what it is yet mate ?"

Amoxycillin Trihydrate Ph Eur (http://uploadit.org/files2/251103-Starbug_render.tga)

as usual, not 100% about the link, but what the hell.
(My first model blah blah)

If its connected, you've got way too much time on your hands. If it's not... then meh. Bunch of primitives thrown on top of each other.

Post by: StratComm on November 25, 2003, 05:15:58 pm: I'm not a big fan of linking to tga formatted images myself. The model is interesting, even if it does scream "I am a bunch of intersecting spheres". Would look even better with a cockpit :nod:

No offense but stick a pair of antenna on it and look "It's a COOTIE BUG on space crack!" lol

(who here remembers the original cootie bug on TV?) Am I right? :lol:

Starbug is cool simply because it is. Though it would look better with a texture of somekind.

Of course I do.

Now... who's gonna make the Dwarf herself? (I would but I'm incompetent at modelling) Eh? Anyone?

The design is actually pretty much spot on. Complaints should be directed at the original creators :D

Nice work magatsu
Title: Sorry...
Post by: Star Dragon on November 26, 2003, 08:34:33 am: I only remember a handful of British shows... Like Doctro Who adn Blake's Seven... LOL I missed Red Dwarf somehow...

Post by: karajorma on November 26, 2003, 03:27:52 pm: Get yourself a copy of anything from series 1 to 6 immediately then as soon as possible. Series 7 & 8 although mildly amusing were nowhere near as good.

Title: Benefits of an Ear Infection
Post by: karajorma on November 27, 2003, 06:46:01 am: It wasn't bad. But compared to the earlier shows I found it lacking somewhat.
Title: Benefits of an Ear Infection
Post by: magatsu1 on December 01, 2003, 03:10:07 pm: Heh, glad someone recognised it.
and yeah, i have got too much time on my hands (illness) and it is a bunch of seperate objects. It's still in the early stages, lacking detail, checking for the usual errors etc.

it's a TGA link 'cos i know nothing about uploading so I'm just using what I have.

Starbug first appears in series3 BTW. The DVD has some funky development plans and pictures. Season 5 (6?) was the last decent series (where they all "died" a the end)
If it works out, I may try Blue Midget and a few others too.

what should i use texture wise ?
and is it worth upgrading to TS5.2 ? ($99 last time I checked)

Post by: karajorma on December 01, 2003, 03:36:13 pm: Series 6 is the one which ended with them fighting themselves. Season 5 ended with Back To Reality. The episode with dwyne dibbly and the suicide squid.
Title: Benefits of an Ear Infection
Post by: magatsu1 on December 02, 2003, 09:08:48 am: I think series6 then (The series where Lister lost Red Dwarf)
Anyone remember the episode where Rimmer went crazy, was in a dress and had a hand puppet ?
I can only remember parts of series 4 & 5, but I remember them being my favourites.

(I tried to save the render as a bmp. but the file size was too big)
