I'm just curious.... I spent ages making stuff like the Pirate ships, the Scimiatr, and the Reci stuff, but I never hear of it being used for campaigns and whatnot.
I'd like a chance to see the things 'in action' as it were, because I never actually play with the damn things other than testing in Fred.....
-
that's why I stoped makeing ships, no one ever used them, then I went into makeing stuff for campains.
-
Take a good look at the MindGames screenshots Aldo.
I just counted up on our credits list and I see that we've got about 10 of your mods on there :D
Bob. We'd probably be using your stuff if we could have found it. Where do you keep it? On VWArchives?

Well, you know what stuff of yours I'm using. :D
But seriously, to see some of your other stuff in use, keep an eye out for a demo from aotd sometime this summer.
We like to use your Modeldump ships for post-capella stuff too. :)
-
I would, if I could FRED, or make textures, or was worth a damn...
-
Value, like experience, is accrued Lib ;)
Have a go at something, you'll never know till you try :)
On topic, I pretty much stopped making stuff outside of TI because I was trying to make so much for TI ;)
-
Oi aldo, didn't you make the Njord? I'm usin that for Maelstrom... if I do it.
-
I like to use them for inspiration, if nothing else.
But yea, I've modified some for KT in AotD... Assuming we were allowed to... :nervous:
And I do like the Kisou. Alot.
-
My biggest problem is I try to use the mouse to edit textures and while I have been known to crank out the occasional decent sketch, I don't think I could do textures justice like that and I don't have the extra cash for a Wacom tablet.
-
I used to do an awful lot of my textures using a mouse to be honest, strangely enough, being left handed has it's disadvantages when it comes to using a tablet :(

This is an older one of mine, but as long as you use layers, and a bit of trial and error, you can get pretty presentable textures. :) I'd probably do that one differently now, but not too bad for a mouse-only job :D
-
I've tried to use your stuff in the past, but mostly I use it to stare intently at your texture and UV maps for hours on end trying to figure out how the hell you get it so good (So far, no go:().
And why not make a few missions on your own now that you've stopped making mods? It's really not that difficult if you've done the walkthrough.
-
I surely use some of your ships in my neverstarting campaign, and they are great work as usual...
What the community really needs is a model database, where one can find the works done by you and all our other modelers...
-
... there's on on the HLP site...
-
Oops...
Sorry, i was away long enough to miss it :p

I see more of your stuff than mine in campaigns :p
About everything you did is in inferno, for a start :p
-
Err... I don't want to make a stupid question...
KT, did you refer the Freespace2 models link in the HLP main page as MOD database?
If yes, it's far from being complete to say the least...

Don't feel left out. Your stuff is in MG too :D
-
I dn't feel left out: most of the stuff I did was for a particular campaign ( any campaign ) and thus was used, or done for my own campaigns, and usually found its way in at least one other campaign, so nothing's been lost, I suppose.
-
Theres a great deal of Bob's stuff on Hades Combine
-
I'm using one of your models (from a model dump IIRC) for, well..., something secret.

Speaking of which (well, similar), did you ever release yon Descent models? I'm sure there will be people who'd be willing to FRED that campaign.
-
Nope, never released them...

Well, y'should.

I'll be tracing through a lot of completed released mods for FSCZ. There are a few table spots free 'till the 130 limit, and I intend to fill em before release.
-
FSCZ?

Aldo i use your ships for my private stuff that will be coming out. I plan to use the Pirate stuff, as well as some other things. I have a folder called "kick ass stuff", which is filled with yours and styxx ships.
-
i think ive used almost all your mods to try to support the ones ive already created for my old mod, but that idea has long since died because of lack of time and ability to keep up with the new things being added...... when i had my website up i still had pics and data on ships used in my mod bearing your skilled designs.... yes aldo your works are superb and used throughout the community, wether u see them in mods or not.
-
Aldo, let me start by saying your work is top notch. I personally am using a fair bit of your work, the Orc and Gryphon are the first that come to mind. If anyone hasn't said it yet, then I will. You are a modelling GOD.
-
I'm going to use your reci pack in my campaign (with your permission of course), it's absolutely great work.

I use them.
-
I use them ;):yes:
and glad that you took the time to make them right :)
-
I use the pirate stuff a lot in my campaign. The actual campaign is finished, but I used texture replacement a lot (although not on your stuff, nameplates and things).
Unfortunately it seems to be broken in all the latest FSO builds, including 'offical' 3.6. Until that gets fixed I can't release anything as it only runs under some obscure old builds.

The Gryphon? God, that's old.......so's the orc, albeit I remade that something like 3 times.

Aldo, is the Het-ka yours?

I don't know - what's the Het-Ka?
I'd guess it's probably Woomeisters, though.
-
However the only complaint I have is that the mods I really want, you won't release to the public. The Nightmares beyond what you have publicly released would help me a lot.

I've already promised someone else exclusive use of those, natch.
So the Nightmares + one fighter have been claimed, the rest is out there.

hey aldo, you still got the Vilvakis? I always wanted to use it in my lil campaign
