Title: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on August 29, 2006, 07:30:14 pm: This is quite what i had in mind, but it only took about a half hour to throw together. The main body needs some work de-rounding it.

Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Trivial Psychic on September 02, 2006, 09:05:16 pm: Nah. Put blue pulse weapons firing from the claws, and the beam firing from the nose. The only downside is if the eyepoint is at the exact same plane. You'll fire the beam and temporarily lose visibility.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 02, 2006, 09:09:48 pm: Yup, *rubs eyes* already found that out.

Freespace could use some living spaceships... Star Wars has 'em in spades, why can't we?

Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 10, 2006, 02:56:25 pm: Well I'm aiming for as-non-human as possible.

Btw is is possible to have blobs/glowing effects as missiles? I don't want them to have human like missiles at all.

Yes.. well... sort of glowing. Either with invisible model with glowpoints, transparent 3d model, or scripted effects. Add particle spew and trail and there you have it.

EDIT: Also well placed and directed (minimum of 4) thruster glowpoints with invisible model

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/Shodan_AI/bomb1.jpg)

Oh how I dread when the time comes to cut these models up to merge the parts together...A billion little tiny nearly impossible to see polygons LOL.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 19, 2006, 05:14:24 am: Whats that you say? I normally just merge them (the little icon with two intersecting balls) is that wrong :nervous:
I've never had a bad pof conversion yet :D
I may well post them one day :nod:

(YArrr for the sake of YARR)
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 19, 2006, 03:31:52 pm: Normally for most of my ships i don't even merge them, just leave them as seperate subobjects. However, the connection between the two parts needs to be smooth (and smooth in smoothing maps too)

Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 29, 2006, 04:30:19 am: Ugh I forgot how I created that texture now. I know it uses the stained glass filter in photoshop and some bumpmapping in Max but i can't remember how to get that rough surface look. :shaking:

Edit: Geez just after posting this i found it, murphys law LOL

in photoshop take two good colors (blue/green example) and create a cloud with it (filter->render->clouds)
in Max Assign a bumpmap and use Celluar with Chips characteristics.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 29, 2006, 10:21:31 pm: Test shot.... UGH making organic looking textures is hard :shaking:

Ingame shot... using F3 tech demo.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: asyikarea51 on November 19, 2006, 03:33:48 am: Last shot, methinks it'll pass off as a fighter if it's in the correct size.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on November 19, 2006, 03:40:30 am: Heavy fighter/bomber actually...
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: gevatter Lars on November 19, 2006, 04:24:20 am: Scooby that are some of the stranges things I have ever seen.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on November 19, 2006, 04:33:03 am: Why thank you :D

Had a bit of a trouble with the large wings, pcs didn't want to convert it. I ended up using my boolean trick to fix that and vola..
It's about time I get those converted over, they been sitting on my hard drive for how long now... that and those missiles i made a while back.

edit: wait till I get the glow maps on it... hopefully it'll look even weirder

Seriously, I could really use these... ;7
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Dark Hunter on December 02, 2006, 11:36:05 am: You know, Scooby, I've seen lots of your models in threads here, but one thing I don't think I've ever seen is a download link. Am I just looking in all the wrong places? :confused:

P.S. The models are looking better and better. Keep it up! :yes:
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on December 02, 2006, 05:16:11 pm: Some of these (mostly the repainted ones) have been released earlier, (most likely the url expired by now). Most of my models are now connected with Saga's tables and effects. When they release the prologue my stuff should be ready to go (I'll also release hopefully a Saga free version [the table entries will be reconfigured]) However if you find something you want now, advise and I'll post it.
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Snail on December 02, 2006, 05:33:03 pm: Do these weird things have anything to do with WCS (I have never played any WC game)?
Title: Re: Some more oddity creatures
Post by: Scooby_Doo on December 02, 2006, 05:48:13 pm: Nope, but they have everything setup like wing commander like hud...etc.
