I just downloaded a bunch of models tonite and I plan on making most if not all of them ths summer. So don't be whining and pleading for them like that snsfro... they will be made in due time.

Any interest in these models? I'm already half done with the martian war flyer and about 25% on the mecha(pink). What should I try next?
Bell Cobra
Me-109
P-40 Warhawk
P-47 Lightning
Lancaster Bomber
F-5 Tigershark
F-16 2 seat bomber (I call it the platypus after the Sukhoi)
Osa patrol boat
Scud Launcher
Tron Tank
Dodge truck
personal design for a mecha
super blimp

I like the Mechas and the Tron tank.

If you like Mecha then check out my Zendreadi Power Armor.

The super blimp! We don't have any airships yet, and that would be a really unique unit!!!

I was working on a death animation with the blimp, actually a rigid zeppelin. The whole body catches fire, sinks to the ground with only the skeleton remaining. It was a real pain to render, don't know how long that will take.

Oh, I'm finished will all the Martian storyboards, now it's just a matter of getting the right pallete. I downloaded a pallete program from the Utilities forums, is where a way to merge 2 pallets together???? or in photoshop?

I think the mech with the pink background was already done by Kinboat

Actually I already downloaded that unit. It's a nice one. But as far as I'm concerned, there can never be enough futuristic units. :)

That's right zulu, but I found this model and decided to try out some different animations. I've PM'ed him to ask his permission to release it but he hasnt responded yet.

Oh... Please do that Tron Tank :) And if you can find the bike anywhere that would be cool too... And I just answered your pm. You don't need my permission but I appreciate your asking. Go ahead.

I have the bike too, but no one voiced that they wanted it when I presented it a while back.

To me, the two most interesting are the F5 and the Bell Cobra.

This is how the Power Armor and Spartan look together in the flcs. I think its about right for their sizes.
I think from now on I'll post all my previews here.

I think you should do the personal design for a mecha next:)

Well, right now I am in the process of remaking the Spartan Destroid. After that I'll probably try to repair my other units, then work on up to the planes because they would go the fastest I think. As for the mecha that I made, it's a combination of a Mac II Monster from Macross and a Behemoth from battletech with the legs of a TBZ-1 battlepod. Unfortunately I made this model about 4 years ago and I know longer have a working copy of the same program that I used to make it. I say that because I do not like the arms, too spindely, never did get around to making any.

To go along with my martian war machine, anyone want me to make a king unit for the martians? I made the model for my movie, looks like a Grey alien head on an octopus body.

Update on my spartan.

I'm all for the Bell Cobra. Would be a great Amphibous attack helo.

I like the Spartan.

Nice job on the Spartan!

The Spartan is finished. It's in the units forum.

Im getting better and better with each new unit I animate.

Is this a menacing enough Fortify??

Cool Monster! Please include a pediaicon with your units. :)

That looks like a good fortify. I already downloaded the Spartan, and now I'm looking forward to this next mech. Great job!

Awsome:goodjob:

The F-5 would make a good early jet fighter.

I'm 95% done with the rendering for the mecha, just 1 more firing sequence to do (I have 3!), then the pallettes and give it to flictser and I'm done. Expect it in an hour or so.

Damn your fast. Whats next?

Fast??? It took me 2 hours to program the walking! I don't have any fancy shmancy program that tells stuff how to walk!

SOB!!!!!!!!!
In all the excitement of nearing completion, I completely forgot to do a death.flc

Oops, guess it will come out later then.

What do you guys want next. Seriously, as in I'd like to hear the merits.

i'd like to see the top right bomber and the fighter to the right of the boat :)

the scud launcher or the tron tank

The helicopter! We have very few of them: only 4.

The helicopter:goodjob:

The F-5 or the Scud Launcher.

I say make the Lancaster and the dodge truck.

I vote for the helicopter and the Tron tank.

The helicopter and the tron tank. There is not many helicopters and future units are the best way to expand the game.

Here's another vote for the chopper. We definately need more of them.

I would like to see the Me-109, the Warhawk, the Lancaster and the Scud Launcher, please!!!

I thought aaglo made a Lancaster?

No, he didn't.

He made a British Bristol Beaufighter but not a Lancaster.

Hunter made a Lancaster though.

The scud launcher would be nice as a late Industrial rocket unit. Then the Modern Age Radar Artillery could upgrade from it.

But SCUDS date after WW2, during the Cold war too be exact.

it would be cool too give the SCUDS ability too carry Tac. Nukes.

Since the SCUD is attracting the most attention I'm making one tonite. Dark green in color, like the simple russian colors. It's going to be a simple animation, havent figured out how I'll make the attack yet.

I would love to see a heavy blimp bomber based on your model if you get the time. These are some real quality units. :goodjob:

No one is interested in this new fighter I download? I christened it the FB-116 Platypus

yeah, that fighter looks nice. from where it is? or it is ficticious?

Yes it's ficticious. Looks like someone took an F-16, gave it larger swept back wings and a large side by side cockpit, much like the Su-34/5? Platypus.

Ive made the default, fortify, attack and run animations for the SCUD launcher.

I'm also in the process of making the P-47 Thunderbolt. Tell me what you think.

I will start testing these things ingame more often, so my releases will be less often.

Another project, what do you guys feel about me making a SAM missle and cradle???

I am making my lancaster to scale with aaglo's B-29, which is a HUGE mofo.

I finished the P-47.
The SCUD launcher still lacks a death animation.
It's taking 40 minutes to render each direction of the death animation for the lancaster (Only 11 frames!!) so that is slow going but I should have it up by friday night (Texas time). So expect 3 new units to be posted. I hope Recon doesn't get peeved that I made a P-47.

About helicopters. I am sorry folks, but even though I have detailed models of the Cobra and Hind, I do not have any motivation for making them because there just isn't any effective way of using helos in civ3 :mad: so you will just have to wait a while for me to make those.

Im sorry Dark Sheer, but your unit has to move over.

This is just a preliminary death animation, plus keep in mind that the gif animator screws up the colors.

I love it! I'll be putting this in my mod the moment it becomes available! :goodjob:

Also... the P-47... did you alter its position at all from the first image you posted because it looks like its pointed down too much maybe.

All your previews look great! -- Yet (personal bias :D ) I'd vote for the airship ...

Ok, now I forget. When a bomber shoots down an interceptor, it uses its attack.flc...but when it bombs it uses only the default, and the bombs.flc is located in the victory section?

Bingo

New Project, Towed Artillery, what do you think?

A) The truck doesn't look like it fits in with Civ3 animation. Too bright I think.

B) What is the status of your other unit animations you've been working on?

I got really, really tired of waiting 50 minutes for each death direction to render o the lancaster, as I type the very last one is bering rendered. So instead of spending ALL day on just one unit, I took the time to made a complete new unit, the towed arty. I changed the truck to a desert type camo instead of the plain green because I noticed even before you posted that it didn't look right. The other units are coming along fine, I should have a small bundle posted by the time you Europeans wake up on that saturday morning.

on the towed arty, Im taking a short cut and using the death and attack anims for the normal artilery, sorry.

Towed arty run animation.

I hope you poeple are satisfied for now. 5 DAMN units in one night!
FINISHED in UNITS forum:
SCUD launcher
P-47 Thunderbolt
Avro Lancaster
Towed Artillery
SAM missile launcher

thats awesome Wyrmshadow, any change you will do more than just these units, this summer?

The short answer: Yes

Originally posted by Wyrmshadow

Ok poeple I've updated my todo list. I'll give you a description of each and what i think about it. Tell me what you'd like to see most and why. Depending on what you say determines what I'll do. If it's a weak arguement I'll simply ignore you.

From Top reading from Left---> Right

FB-116 Platypus: fictional fighter bomber,decently easy to do
Me-109: I've redone the texturemaps to include civ colors, not too hard
P-40 Warhawk: again, I've redone the textures for civ-colors
F-5E: this one is highly detailed and tricky, difficult to do
Bell Corbra: hard to make civ colored, don't like helos
Super Hauler: fictional Robotech blimp not too hard, limited on the texture maps though:(
Tron Tank: afraid it wont show up clearly, not difficult to do but don't see place for it in Civ.
"Martian" blimp: futuristic blimp, very very very simple, dont see a place for it
Martain Mothership: a fictitious spaceship I made to go with my Martain War Machine.
Horizont2: Robotech dropship, highly detailed but not difficult to do
Mi-24 Hind: I dont like helos
B-58 Huslter: Mach 2.0 US. bomber. Highly detailed unit, I'll have to fix the texture maps but could be a fun unit to use.
Macross II Valkyrie: you have no idea how complex this thing is. Yes it is by far the most awesome thing I have but it would take me 1-2 months to make it a unit so dream on. 1-2 months of not making anything else.


I also have a simple model of a WWI zeppelin that I couldn't find tonite but I had real trouble putting a good texture on it.

I almost forgot about this little bugger. A Martian Tripod!!!!! He'll be a ***** to animate but it could be a really fun unit to mess around with. Does anyone know how a 3 legged thing moves?

Forgot the picture

I decided to see just how talented I was in making a 3 legged machine walk, and it does after a fashion.

Which looks better? Copper or White?

Copper

.

HUZZAH!:worship:

-Oz

I made it copper so that it would stand out more but the more accurate color is white. And for those of you who don't read what I type: Give me a GOOD arguement for making something or I'll just ignore you and make what a bleeding well want.

I keep forgetting to post a picture:

Hmm, in that picture, that ship almost looks like the Dreadnought that Smoking Mirror did :)

any bad comments about how ungainly this thing looks...YOU try teaching a 200 ft tall 3 legged monstrosity how to walk!

After I make this unit (hopefully buy tonite) I'll start on the P-40, Me-109 and then the B-58.....all requests of Recon, probably for his SOE mod. Hey, whatever makes him release it faster.

If anyone has any detailed models that have many objects, send them to me and I might make them for you. I can support most formats except .max


Note to self: make a Katyusha using truck

Units to expect REAL soon:
P-40 Warhawk
Martian Tripod Machine
Me-109

a little later the B-58

Even though it would take a long time i would love to see a Macross II Valkyrie

Done,Done,Done and Done

New project: a new Katyusha and the truck by itself.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: you're a machine. I just don't know how you work so fast!

I don't sleep.

I'm so glad that you do a new version of the Me-109. Don't get me wrong, W.I.N.T.E.R.'s Messerschmidt was not bad but compared to the Civ3 units and the planes made by BeBro and aaglo it doens't look so good in the game. It's the only WWII fighter which could take the place as fighter for Germany in the industrial age!!!

Ok, finished the truck and the new Katyusha. I put them in with my Towed Artillery thread so just follow the link in my signature.

11 new units released in 3 days, I'm tired.

Wyrmshadow, IF you get the time, could you make a schwimmwagen? it was a car that the Germans made/used during WW2. It had no armament, it was mainly just to transport people (upto 4 including the driver) BUT it could also travel on water!! hence the name Schwimmwagen! :)

Here are some pics at this page! http://www.kingshobby.com/schwimmw.htm

NOTE, I did post this in the Unit Request thread BUT I just thought you might like to have a shot at it! :)

I can't "make" anything. If you have a model already constructed then I can create the unit. Why is it so hard for you poeple to understand this? I do not have the skills nor the programs to create these things out of thin air. There are only a few of my units that I made myself, but they are 5 year old models that have been sitting on my hard drive collecting electronic dust.

Please for the last time. Do not request units unless you can give me a model to download!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

Dont have a cow dude!

A simple "yes I can" or "no I cant" would suffice!

Anway, I did find a model BUT it would have cost over 100 bucks to get it! ;)

I'd like to see that Lancaster

Originally posted by Shady

It's in the units forum already

I'll release these guys as a 3-pack instead of flooding the unit forum again.

From left to right they are the Shershen Patrol boat, Nanuchka Corvette and Osa Missile Boat.

Good idea, but the missile boat I need by itself. Could yoou just make the M-unit and then the missile boat?

It's not an M-unit. Where does it ever say it's a multi-unit? Hunter released a 3-pack of ships in 1 thread a while back, that is what I am doing. I don't want to flood the unit forums again with a manageri of vehicles.

Snsfro, my brain hurts whenever you respond to my threads.

Do you make the models yourself or do you download/buy them somewhere?

I'm learning 3d modeling in Cinema4D (seems pretty good) and I'd love to see some of your scenes - how the things are set-up, e.g. lights, cameras, etc. Could you please upload one scene (maybe you have some unfinished ones, or some that you're not happy with) for people like me to learn from?

Thanks! :) Keep up the good work, you're very talented.

I have some models (3DS, DXF and MAX, some untextured) you might be interested in:

- Cobra helicopter
- F-5E
- Sherman tank
- Toyota Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero, Land Rover (for special forces)
- M2 Bradley
- MiG-29
- Mirage (Imagine .iob format, you'll need a converter)
- Oscar 2 submarine
- Chicago Cop Car (maybe for a MP for cheap peacekeeping in conquered cities),
- Saratoga carrier (WW2 mods :) )
- 747 for an airborne laser
- some ffg frigate
- "futuristic" bomber

PM me your email address if you want those.

PS. Check out http://www.gunpoint-3d.com/

As I said before, I can take most anything except .max files. I'm probbly the only animator on these boards that uses Bryce as his animation program. But right now I'm just trying to fucus on finishing my list.


-Cobra helicopter I have it

Be prepared for a massive update of units in the next two days.

Man, you're gonna flood us with units! :)

That's exaclty what I plan on doing. This is your only warning before I release them, and I plan on doing a lot. Some of you will be pleasantly surprised with my choices, and atleast 1 will be another update on an old unit already posted here by someone else. No more clues folks, you'll just have to wait. On the bright side you wont have to wait long because I deliver a helluva lot faster than anyone else on these forums.

IMHO anyone who's producing such excellent game additions, free of charge, to the entire world-wide Civ3 community is entitled to:

1. Great thanks
2. Hearty encouragement
3. Freedom from the nattering of people DEMANDING what someone makes and what time-frame they do it in -- and is perfectly entitled to get a bit touchy/grumpy/whatever after enough of this.

So, I hereby propose a hearty round of Cheers to Wyrmshadow and everyone else who so richly contributes to our good times -- and we all know who you are!

:beer:

-Oz

Thank you Oz. All that I ask is that the recipients of said units just enjoy them and not wan't perfection in their own small opinions. I'm most likely the ONLY one on these forums that uses Bryce to make his units so most likely only I know it's capabilities. So any advice or opinions to "improve" my units using knowledge from other programs will fall on deaf ears.

In othe words, you guys have seen the quality, quantity and sheer expedience that I create units so just shut up and show some proper gratitude when I finish them.

Since last night I've already finished 4 new units.

Hey, I never said he wouldn't deliver the goods!

As a matter of fact, I'm looking forward to seeing them. IF they are as good as his other units (which i'm sure they will be) then we all will be in for a big treat!

BUT come on, look at his last post for example:

In other words, even if you make a very small suggestions on his units, Wyrm goes off his nut at you!

His units are bloody great and no doubt we all thank him for his hard work, but his attitude is bloody **** house!

My "attitude" comes from years and years of complete and utter pratts walking all over me so I have developed quite a nasty defence mechanism. Just as an example I came close to strangling a guy infront of 40 parents because he doubted the quality of a Power Point presentation I had made. (I am a presentation GOD) So the only non-assault thing I really could do was rudely walk out in the middle of his crapfest of a slideshow. The caustic posts that I sometimes write are tame compared to what I am capable of.

If you doubt the sincerity of such things just take a look at my webpage's thoughts section.

Wyrmshadow seems to be quite the disturbed artist. :lol:

But so were the rest of history's great artists.

Yeah, I had similar, um, "reactions" early in my career to all sorts of bs. Then I forced myself to learn (1) subtlety and (2) to literally ignore any idiocy which didn't directly threaten my goals.

... Now, taking the liberty of wandering OT -- seriously, nothing to do with these forums! :rolleyes: -- I found that this combination allowed for far better targeted savagery -- and time to wipe one's fingerprints off things ... :)

Granted, it took a loooong time for me to make the change, but its rewards were literally spectacular -- by analogy, imagine those 40 parents applauding you after you'd made a comment that your target wouldn't even have recognized as a humiliation until he woke up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night ... ;)

But I digress :)

... I guess I just want to know that you're both making these excellent units and ENJOYING it!

Happy Independence Day,

Oz

Here's a little gift for my fans.

:goodjob:

By themselves your units look really good. it's just somehow the whole style and lighting makes it seem to me to be not so well fit with the rest of civ3 units but i haven't tried it in game to know if there's any noticeable difference.

personally i don't really care if my jet is too bright while i'm worrying with running a world empire

How about I show some gratitude to proper people, who deserve it but not tell others to shut up and show respect?

Did I tell you about perspective being wrong in your units? :p

I did mention that I cannot make it a pure isometric because Bryce does not have the same camera settings as other programs? I cannot set anyting to 200mm because there is no such setting only field of view and zoom% that's it, if you can translate your settings to that then I can work through those perspective problems. I set the angles as best I can to other units such as Bebro's planes.

Hmmm, let me guess;

Hind
Su-25?
Mirage?
E-3

It's not a Frogfoot, or a Rook if you're a Ruskie

Good stuff!

PS. And to all that don't like these units - prove that you can make better ones, or keep quiet if you can't.

I like them, and I can't make better units!!

F-5, or 20,whichever way you wanna look at it. Wings're a lil too small, plus too low to be the ever so holy Frogfoot. I need to learn how to make units...

sigh

Slight snag on operations. My computer is going crazy such as refusing to load Photoshop, Flicster and Bryce, plus my apartment lost net access this morning. I'm typing this from the university computer lab.

Well crap and a half. Unit creation put on indefinite hold because my main rendering program refuses to cooperate and load. Sorry.

Have you tried re-installing it? Do you need any help?

It just randomly decides not to work. Best thing I can do is just reboot and pray then repeat as needed. For right now it's working and I've started using your tip on perspectives in Bryce.

Here's a new project I've started to dabble in. Yesterday I decided to try and make a ship for the first time and it came out reasonably well. Here are two of my ships in relation to SM's ships, the Battlewagon and the Civ Battleship. I modeled them after an Austrian Coastal battleship and a WW1 dreadknought.

A better view of the battleship

Another view of the coastal battleship, a good upgrade to the civ Ironclad I think. It looks similar to the ancient Iron Battleship that was on here ages ago.

I will start the paperwork to make you a god...............

very nice work, I hope to become as good you someday.

*sigh* but I have a long way to go.............

Excellent work Mr. Wyrm! :goodjob:

Hey Wyrm, I checked out your link to the Bell Cobra chopper (you know, the one where you also have the Hind), but that link points into the great wide open... :(
Could you tell me where I would find the Zip to the Bell Cobra?
Thanks! :)

You could have sent him a PM or in the thread, or read the rest of the thread and seen that he did another version and put it on the 2nd page. BTW Wyrm perhaps when you get back to making units you can make this one: not the AAV that I want so badly but close (http://www.gunpoint-3d.com/model-lvta.html) I need a Amphib. vehicle badly,:( :cry: :cry: :cry: and when is that ship going to be ready it looks really cooooool:cool:
