Post by: RoachKoach on April 21, 2002, 09:25:47 pm
im in:D

i cant promise that theyll all come out as well as Unstoppable though, thats my best one yet, but sure ill try.

sorry, but i dont know how to make skins. i would really like to know though.

also, as im a little busy, and cos it takes me on average 4 to 5 hours to make a good render, i cant keep turning them out the way setekh or thunder do.

o dont worry, if theres one thing i have, its patience.  As for that render, if you can do half as good as that one, i'll be thoroughly impressed.  I need people to pimp models for me, as you can see with Corsair and Ten of Twelve, and im always glad to add one more.

As far as texturing goes, i know its done with Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Paint Shop, but i dont know any more than that.  Contact me on instant messenger and i'll see if i cant point you in the right direction.

Try doing them lower-res. It'll make them easier on your head, trust me. ;)

My longest render time was 16 hours.

And for an animation of 500 frames and at 24fps i render about 12 hours for only a 20sec movie:D
