that's not a good asymetic design, put a pod on the other side, asymetrics need to be balenced along about the center, the fs1 shivan models were excelent about this, short thick cluncky bits on one side are balenced by long thin bits on the other

I don't think so, actually.  I don't think there's any real reason or need to balance asymmetric designs, on a functional or aesthetic level.

 I think it's just a tendency because we're symmetric (more or less), and tend to expect a certain level of symmetry.

Dark is gone.

Nico hasn't posted in quite a bit.

Aldo's quit actually making projects.

Bob is consumed in 3 projects...

Mikhael can't show up here too often...

Ryx keeps having failing HDD's...

Sad pattern here.

Cough* Styxx Is still around *Cough

[aldo_14]

Styxx never ever posts anything, though.

( Yeah, once MT is released he will be elevated to godhood, but until then......)

[Taristin]

His models are really good, yes. But he needs to learn to texture better (But then I'd be out of a job )

[redmenace]

Well maybe it is time that, us young ones learn to model and texture.
Unfortunatly I am not just now learning to FRED. I had truespace 5 but "lost it."
Can someone "help me" out with that.

[Styxx]

Thankfully, Dark finished a good set of the MT capship textures before he vanished, but it's still a shame he's no longer around. I've talked to him a few times after he vanished from the forums, but then he stopped replying to ICQ and emails and disappeared altogether. He was not only damn good at what he did, he was able to pass that knowledge on with ridiculous ease - one of the reasons the MT models look as good as they do (I'll leave the interpretations of that to those who've actually seen them) is because of Dark's advice. And his textures, of course (for the capships).

I still think that Asheron's Call consumed him. Or he's lurking around, laughing manically when he thinks of the day he'll reemerge and announce he has finished Arsenal of Darkness.

I can't help but feel a little guilty that Dark helped me out on a lot of my early campaigns but I never repaid the favor by working on Arsenal of Darkness.

*sigh* I wish I could get in touch with him...

Hehe AC was my first MMORPG that I did buy, because i was interested playing Multi player-RPG, didn't know that Dark played it.. It was really good MMORPG back then, But I didn't get addicted to AC:D, now days I wait something really good mmorpg to come
that has something new to offer.


Doh that was OT:o

[Night Hammer]

Asheron's call? what is that

[Eishtmo]

MMORPG.

[Fear]

god... his work is amazing...

[Night Hammer]

MMORPG????? sorry i like sports games and freespace

[BlackDove]

My advice (and don't take this in the wrong way please):

Quit moaping like *****es and get to work. So he was good at what he did - big deal, now go kick his ass by making something better. The fact that he isn't around anymore, gives you a good head start.

Chop Chop. The time you took to write the "i'm inferior" posts was time stolen from something useful.

Damn, if I had a computer that could process models and textures with ease, I'd be on the job right now, no matter HOW crap my stuff would look like (it'd be pretty crap, but it'd be something).

After all, from what I've seen, none of you are retards incapable of kicking ass when it comes to these things.

Just my two cents on the issue.

I have to agree though, whoever made the Charon and the Golgotha gets my respect. That _was_ the next step (a logical one anyway).

Err... you know it's been three years or so and everything since then has effectively been "getting to work",  right?
