Need Shield Graphic's for Atlantis

[Roman Legion]

I need Shield Graphic's for my new unit,"ATLANTIS", Im waiting to see if Dark sheer can provider me with some, but I need one now!!! Im trying to finish today(if possible). see Atlantis Here.

What are you using for the BG color?

If it's magenta, I can just create a translucent half-dome in bryce in no time flat (complete with fade in and out animation), then, if you have PsP or Adobe Photoshop, you can paste it as a new layer with approx 50% transparency so that it appears as a semi-transparent dome over the city....

 

[Roman Legion]

yes, it's pink magneta, and Id rather someone better make this, and what do you think of my unit?

As for your unit, I think it looks good.

Edited due to making a complete ass outta myself

RL, I think Hikaro can do one faster that I do.

And my Email is in my profile for the last 5 years.

 

[Roman Legion]

What? I said someone better than ME, I wasn't insulting you, you mis understood me.

 

[Dark Sheer]

Ex-SCUSE me?! Have you even seen any of my semi transparent effects that I've done in Bryce?! I'd have to say that you'd be VERY hard pressed to find anyone better in that area.... Except possibly Wyrmshadow, but even then it's so close it'd have to go to the judges!

If you're just going to insult my hard work, then forget it!

As for your unit, I think it looks good, but your attitude could use some serious improvement.

Hey Hikaro, I think RL meant he prefers someone else who is better than himself to do it, like yourself!

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Urm, sorry about that.... First, before I whip this thing out in no-time flat, a few questions:

1. How big are your frames for the animation?

2. How many frames do you want for the fortify animation?

3. How many frames expected for the Attack animation?

4. How many directions do you need? (although it should be possible to just paste the filmstrip 8 times over each direction.....)?

 

[Roman Legion]

Here Ill post it, as soon as you download it, tell me. it is 1 direction.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Hey, RL, sorry about the misunderstanding BTW, I crossposted with you, so if you could just answer my quick questions, I could have the filmstrip BMPs up ASAP.

 

[Roman Legion]

1.The zip file answers that.

2.as many as you need to put.

3.I already did the attack animation.

4.1 direction

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Okay, the Sheilds going up for the fortify animation will be 12 frames, and should completely encompass the city.....

I'm rendering it as I type. will post it soon.

 

[Roman Legion]

ok, ill stand by, are you attaching it to my unit? or am I attaching it?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Umm, you'll have to do that, I'm afraid... My main Civ III unit making comp is busy rendering my latest Poser unit (I used the secondary comp to make and render the shield in Bryce, but it doesn't have the programs I need to do C&P).

Here's the Shield storyboard:

 

[Roman Legion]

Thank's for the Shield, and im having trouble C'N'Psting it on my unit.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

What kind of trouble? If it's transparency.... I could take a whack at it AFTER I'm done rendering out the fortify animation for my current unit project (7 more frames left on the last direction, so I could get to it in about 3 minutes).....

 

[Roman Legion]

yeah, I cant make atlantis show under the Shield.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Well, that's fairly simple to do in PsP7; All you do is paste the shield as a new layer and set the layer's transparency to approx 60% and delete all the Straight Magenta from the upper layer... If you can't do that with whatever prog you use, I'll try it myself.....

 

[Roman Legion]

I have PSP 4, and Dont understand exactly.

 

[Roman Legion]

Im unable to do what you have instructed, Mine wont do that. can you do 1 direction worth? ill paste the rest.
