Arrowplane

[stainz]

it would be very nice to get this unit done, but unfortunatly (sp), i kind of suck at making ani.

but now that i have two others helping on it, it should avail. for d/l pretty soon.

i tried to add a missle myself (using the f-15), but i had a problem with, whenever i tried to paste it to the attack pcx., it always came up MUCH bigger than what was actually planned. i never really gave up on it, just put it aside for a while.

i might try to make some more modern fighters, ie mig 29, mirage, etc... but finding a good starting pic is very hard.
the avro gif took about 30 hrs to find on line, then about 25 hrs. using FLICster and psp pro 7 to get it as you see. making units is very time consuming for me and i don,t know how the others animators do them so fast.

actually, i,m going to hunt for the fulcrum tonight. let,s see what i come up with.

but again, i,ll need help on the death and attack ani.


almost forgot. when i export this unit with FLICster, i get no ini. file or pal. files. other than the one that PlasticBag made.

I tried the same...that's why I'm doing a Sparrow by hand . But I think the final product would be nice .
And for the Fulcrum...the Civ3 Jet Fighter looks exactly like a MiG-29 Fulcrum, don't it?

 

[stainz]

the fulcrum is about the size of an f-18, but with all the power (and more) than the f-15.

or maybe i,ll use the Civ3 jet fighter as a fulcrum and make a UU fighter for the amerian civ.

the fulcrum is the most widly used fighter in the world and you can even buy one for about $4,000,000, (not sure if the price is in american dollars or russian rubles), as i don,t read or understand the russian language. i wonder if they would take my truck as a downpayment?

 

[stainz]

i need to find a way to view ".WRL" files.
anyone know how to do this?

 

[Pablostuka]

ok, here is a preview of my slow progress in the attack animation...I also have redone the shadows. Personally, I don't like it so much. Tell me your opinion, please.

Stainz, i don't know how to view that file format, sorry
bye!

it looks really good. you can,t see much of the missile, but the again, it never had one before you put it in.

also, is it possible to copy/paste two missiles in, under each wing? not that you would see much of the second one. ahhh... just forget that.

the shadow looks much better than the one i had, thanx.

i figured it out. it,s actually vrml.
which is to say, if you can see it, it is open. or that,s the way i see it, but i could be wrong.
i have a wicked 3d view of the f-18 (vrml,) but it only faces the sw direction. so the search continues for a better pic/gif of it.


Kingpin;

have you done any work on a new death animation? or are you even going to try? i,m not trying to force anything on you. the avro has been floating around here for some time, and i,m quite sure some people would like to see a closure to it. but if not, the one i did will work fine.

Is this unit still under construction?????
Would like to have it as an Canadian UU.

 

[stainz]

it is still under construction. there are a coulpe people working on the unit now. i,ve done all i can with it. it still needs an attack and maybe a better death ani.

it is for a my canadian mod as well. i also use Kinboats "leapard tank" as a canadian uu, as well as the "Blue Cask" but i can,t remember who made that one.

 

[OmniMower]

ok, thanx stainz
we hope that this one is finished soon....

 

[Lt_Tarantulas]

stainz

[Senoj]

[OmniMower]

Thankx To Plastic Bag. there are no problems now, other than myself.

This is the new beginning with the SE pcx changed to improve motion.

Nice!

We need more UK Units!

I can use this as the UK's f15 equivelant!

Hi, I'm back here, after 3 weeks without my computer .
But I have to say a bad new...at the moment I can't work in the Arrow (I won't work in any unit, I've cancelled my own unit projects). I'm very sorry. If you want, I can post what I did, so someone can finish it...tell me what do you prefer. I'm very sorry, but It's the better for me...

 

[OmniMower]

Post it!
You never know who picks it up and proceeds with the work.

 

[kemal69]

I hope someone picks this up, the attack preview is very good.

 

[stainz]

Pablostuka;

post what you have done, and if someone beats me to finishing it, oh well. but with what you have already done with the shadow and attack, i could get a basic idea on what to do to finish it myself. and you will still get credit for helping build it that,s the way it works.

and i hope to see you back here to finish what you started on your units.

 

[Pablostuka]

I'm sorry for doing this, but I won't be able to finish the attack animation, so I prefer to posting my work, hoping that someone could finish it.
The easier method I suggest is to cut & paste the F-15 missile (but you'll have to resize it), and redo the shadows as I did in the first direction.
I'm very sorry, Stainz. But I hope I helped a bit

 

[Pablostuka]

mmmm...someone called "Hunter" has created an Avro Arrow. It's in the units forum.
