Post by: Snipes on June 25, 2001, 05:21:00 pm: Believe it or not... my PC hates me... betwween ICQ refusing incoming file transfers, my PC crashing nonstop, and TS rendering odd angles... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/mad.gif)

That scene was originally a fleet movement, but somehow I got that weird angle... but it looked cool, so I kept it...

Also... There were like 90 ships in the original png file... :-/ and that thing blowing up, well, it was a typhon, but it rendered only like 5 peices, so I made it like that...

That angle is what makes the pic, IMHO. If not for the angle, what is left? A blurry picture of a couple of Loki's, a section of a Setekh, and something in the bG that I assume is supposed to be the explosion of something - looks more like.... ummmm... uhhh... I have no idea, to be honest...

But because of that angle, I think the pic is quite high up there on the coolness scale! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

EDIT: Needs stars and nebulae, though...

Post by: Snipes on June 25, 2001, 06:00:00 pm: Well... I have LW, but it doesn't like textures... I tried to get Max 4, but it's... ahem... unavailable to me...

I have Maya, but it doesn't work on win9x... damn my warezing...

oops, I can't say that here, right? sorry...

Post by: Fattony on June 25, 2001, 07:06:00 pm: I've found that MAX is best for modelling, LW for general mapping (don't have it anymore (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) ) and Cinema 4D XL6 for animations.

Hehe, I've got MAX, C4D and half of Lightwave6. If I can get ahold of a pic of Todd from the V-Art, I'm gonna use C4D to make a render of the "Todd-O-Love", an inflatable friend. Mainly as revenge for banning me. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
