ulp! didn't read the thread!

[IncendiaryLemon]

Not to intefere with your own work but DamoclesX (who posts here on occasion) did a fair bit of work on the Human side. He's releasing the models and textures for public use (although they may be a bit high on poly count and texture size as they were built for a DX9 version of Starshatter.) Try messaging him.

 either way, cheers.



More screenshots here.

His WIP looking good.

[Omniscaper]

I'm familiar with DamoclesX's work. I just got impatient with Starshatter's progress. And not knowing whether or not Damocles will release it for SCP use pushed me to take up this project myself.

Your right, Damocles's models are high in polies. His Viper has 2900 polys and I'm making my Viper more friendly to the underdogs of computer tech.

Not when I cockpitofy it.

 Its very much a WIP and we'll see where it goes.

 I'm looking forward to your TC though. I don't like the TV series format  with the unresolved cliffhanger and minor dramas.  You can see the formulaic hook for the next scene, the next episode, or the unresolved conflict to emerge later, that said I really do love the the universe they've created (the ships are fantastic.) Just as someone whose seen your screenshot posts,  I suspect you'll do a decent job.

The Galactica in progress......

[stithe2000]

Looking good so far.... Let me know if you need help with Galatica....

[Nico]

The two first episodes have been aired yesterday, so I've... missed the first one, but whatvere, I've seen the second one and, do you plan to make the galactica shoot as many shots than in that series?
Oh, and yeah, I've seen a part of the old series a couple years ago and, frankly, the new one isn't kitsch and boring like the old one
But cylons are just as crappy in both versions ( tho I like the station in the new one, the fighters are just so... common... )

Hey Omni, how are you gonna handle the retracting pods?  You could just leave them in the "Out" position all the time, you could use the model-replacement sexp and have it switch to one with 'em retracted, or you could bank on Bobb making submodel animations work for translations in addition to rotation.

[Omniscaper]

I just finished watching all of season one of the new series. As a whole, I think this series is poised for GREATNESS. So far I think its the best Sci-fi show to hit the air.

I think its major strengths are its:

1. Documentary style
2. Focus on characters and their developments
3. Man & machine premise (A nice spin on the age old story)
4. DEVOID OF ALL SCIFI CAMPYNESS

I love it because its sci-fi that is not over the top. No aliens (none so far), noflashy technology (besides light jumps and Cylons), no true blue heroes and their boring monologues.

All the characters are flawed in one way or another. That makes them more realistic and relateable.


If you are looking for meaningless space batttles with over the top flashy tech coupled with techno babble, spandex and cloaked characters with a completely unrealistic selfless and perfect psyche BSG is NOT for you.

This show is a WAR DRAMA set in the universe of the original BSG (spun differently). If you liked the cancelled show of old "Space: Above & Beyond" this show is for you.

One of the SCP guys are working on bounding boxes that will soon be available with the new upcoming PCS2.... It will allow for simple animation actions to be possible... Such as gun recoils, or the X-Wing fighters wings to open or close.... It may not be available now, but it will shortly....

[Unknown Target]

It's a good series, but I would REALLY like some more battles. It's like Babylon Five, but at least in B5 you'd get a couple episodes of just blow-the-****-up.

[Starman01]

Looking good sofar.

Unfortunately the new series hasn't started in Germany yet, not sure it will in the near future. All I've seen are a few short space-combat sequences (man, I loved that big blue torpedo-explosion ) and the cool models in the Hardlight-Art forum.

If you need someone helping you with the pof-conversion, or even a fredder for later , I would be interested in helping out in a TC about Galactica (though WC-Saga has top prioritiy, but I can always spare a few hours when I need some distance to the other work, i.e when some models or missions stretch my nerves too much  )

Technically I could even modelling and texturing, but that's difficult in this case without proper reference-material, and my creativity isn't what it was 10 years ago

But as mentioned, I would be interested

[Getter Robo G]

IN case the ani's fall through it it gets too much for us lower end users how about making two Galactica models (copy the first and redo the pods into the "open" or fighter recovery mode which would be doen by extending their pylons so relatively would be little more work. Teh change model SEXP is great and when FREDed correctly would work fine.

   That's how I intend to do the Deadelus Attack sequence for SDF-1. I got Trashman working on 3 SDF-1 models for now until more of this ani code comes to pass (it still neds to get through testing phase and then a final build no?).  My goal is to only require BASE SCP build 3.6.5 with no real toys but glow and shine so basicly anyone should be able to play the mod. If you got a better system then turn on everything, but you should always build with the lowest common denominator in mind, that's my opinion.

It's looking REAL good Omni!

If this project needs hosting, you can go to the thread in the campaigns forum

[Omniscaper]

This project needs more people!!! What do you mean by "hosting". I'm still new to Net stuffs. I haven't even researched web design yet.

I've begun texturing the Viper. This is my first time texturing from scratch using homebrewed textures. So be gentle.....

[Nico]

Well no need to be gentle, it's quite a good job.
t's just that whenever I see that ship, I feelk like it can be smoked

[Omniscaper]

Nothing wrong with a flying fallice.

[KARMA]

not bad, but too clean.
