stumbled on this forum and site while looking for all the things i needed to update/upgrade freespace 2 with the open source, so i can get a fresh look at it...
i have been the member of a few mods, one is pretty successful, that is "freeworlds" the star wars TC of freelancer...and in my heyday there i made over 300 models of all the ships i could find in the SW universe...of course not many of them made the mod, because they limited the shiplist for good reason, and since then all my models were lost (computer was stolen) so i kinda gave up trying to recreate all of those...
however i might give a crack at updating a few of the models i think are worthy of updating for the Media vps, so they are more in line with a few of the HTL favorites...nothing more obvious than a low poly model right next to a hi poly one in the same game...
anyway, just browsing for now, and i might have something to contribute in the future...

:welcome:
zaxx-kredda, I hope you enjoy your stay. Modders are always welcome here! Looking forward to seeing some of your models! :)
-
Always a pleasure to see a new face on HLP / GD. :yes:
Welcome from the moderators too.
Post often Zaxx and as Wobble said, get some old glory shots up ;)
-
yes our
masters of substance abuse and/or debauchery moderators welcome you.

thanks guys! i will root around and see what i can find of my old progress shots from freeworlds, one in particular was the death seed "chir' daki" which was a twilek fighter made combining a tie fighter ball with a b wing gyro swivel and x-wing foils...anyway, maybe some time later...
i can think of a few models relevant to this community i would love to give a shot at...but most of those are probably not really a high priority in terms of adding much to the freespace story, as far as updating them goes...most people have put their focus on the high visibility ships...and i really like those, but i also recognize for continuity sake, it might be time to update some of the more utilitarian models that dont get as much recognition...
ok enough of that, gotta get back to work...

would you be interested in making models for a mod then?

Outbound is an interesting project

MY DEAR SIR YOU APPEAR TO BE A FAN OF THE X-WING NOVELS AMONG OTHER THINGS. LET US BE BROS.
-
Those are very nice

thanks guys,
these pictures are all i have left of the over 300 models i built between 2007-2008...some were supposed to be for the freeworlds project, and some were supposed to be for a TC mod in X3 Reunion...
im not really a fan of anything in particular, but all of the star wars universe was free game and material for reference...i would have loved to see X3 populated with all 300 ship types since it relies more on trading than all out combat, but unfortunately i never got the chance to upload the huge dump i had planned for both mods...i did get to give my death star model to the freeworlds mod team, and it was in the game, if not still in there currently...it was a bit smaller in scale than the original death star in episode 4, but still huge enough to be imposing...

the pic above was supposed to be the interior scene for the freelancer TC freeworlds for many of the imperial dock scenes...never got uploaded...it was full of lots of details that were meticulous, but not really poly heavy...
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t160/crazyjayloc2003/home1_overhead_lights3-1.jpg)
this was my version of the home-1 docking bay, minus all the props, which were really pretty close to the actual details in footage from the movies...
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t160/crazyjayloc2003/screenshotyt1930pers.jpg)
this was and is my favorite freighter, the yt-1930...the textures were hasty on this , but with a little tweaking it would have been a really nice ship...didnt quite get it done though...
oh well...
i also did a lot of obscure ships from the Star Wars universe, like the nella 342 from sorosuub, the star cruiser that noa had in the ewok adventure, several of the ships from the expanded universe, the ancient sith drop ships in the knights of the old republic comic series, and the list goes on...not hard to get at or above 300 ships when you use everything you can get your hands on for reference
-
also wanted to add that i do some music composition of my own, not lately cause acid pro doesnt play nice with windows 7, but as soon as i get anotehr box just for music, i will be back at it...
here is a sample of some sci fi type music

maybe someone is interested in adding it to their mod?
-
As far as getting another box, you could try using MS Virtual PC (free) or VMWare Server (search, there is a free version, you just have to register, IIRC)
-
:eek:
-
well, i really just want another box, so i can use it only for music production, i need to dedicate one to all the programs i have just for that, no internet or anything else...this one has so many hats it is crazy, one for games, one for modeling, one for internet, and then there is the rest of the entertainment stuff, like movies and listening to music...too much going on with this one...so another box is not only desirable, but necessary, luckily i found a place that sells a good refurbished box for a really great price, 1/3 of the original cost, and brand name, with the OS of my choice included, and it has the same capabilities of this one...so im pretty happy about that...just have to wait to get it later, maybe a couple of weeks...
:eek:
whats so scary? or rather which part of the thread was that in comment to yeuzhi?
-
oh sorry HLP doesn't have a certain smily representing approval and to show my shock at these models i figured it was either eek or eek2.
i think we need something like :welcome: that's firing a :seal of approval:
-
Welcome, and nice work there!
-
thanks guys, too bad i dont have any of these models any more though...gotta start them over from scratch if i want any of them back, and thats over 300 models i dont really have the motivation to remake right now lol...
it took me a year to do them as it was...boy was i pissed when my original box got stolen...
