Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Orthanc]

Well I realized the Ghost ship won't have that yard anyways, since according to the game, the sails look like this:

So the generic model's done, I've just gotta set up the Ghost Ship textures.

Fabulous sail!

 

[Stormrage]

4 thumbs up!

 

[Orthanc]

Seems people pay more attention here than at the Zelda Mod thread, could someone possibly grab the sound effects from Windwaker? It'd be great to give this thing some authentic sounds

 

[Stormrage]

.. Don`t all ships shound the shame?

 

[odintheking]

I gotta tell ya, I haven't been able to find anay at all, . The best hope would be to download an emulator and rip the sounds from it... The ship looks great, though,

BTW, I was looking at page 30, and Plotinus is a moderator now, .

 

[Stormrage]

Didn`t you see the announcement? There is a welcome thread for him in the Site Feedback forum

 

[Orthanc]

So he is, congrats! I wonder what the requirements are to be one (not that I want to be, my comfy spot here as a unit maker is great fun).

Yeah, I was thinking I might have to do that, how would you grab the sounds out of an emulator?

 

[odintheking]

I have no clue, but at this site there are plenty emulation links, even a link to a buggy WW emulator.

I wonder what the requirements are to be one

I'm still wondering that!

There's been a dozen "How do I become a mod" threads in Site Feedback. Basically you have to be a good boy/girl, it's a plus if you're a helper.

Going back on topic, why is the ship so chubby?

 

[Stormrage]

So why aren`t you a mod then, eh?

 

[mrtn]

I think that's hard-coded...

 

[Stormrage]

Ah, yes, on topic: I think teh ship is chubby cos its was designed that way, and Orthanc is only makin` a civ3 version of it, not making one up

 

[Orthanc]

Bingo Stormrage, the thing ain't my design really! Though I do like it quite a bit.

Anywho, I'm having LOADS of fun animating this thing, probably be out tomorrow (aka: later today, cause here it's almost 1 am). Still questing for sounds (I'm thinking someone could ask that guy that ripped those Windwaker models if he could also grab the sounds, he seems to have everything setup already), but I've managed to put a few together that should do anyways. Hang tight!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I commend you for your completeness Orthanc. I was extremely impressed with your latest Corvette.

 

[Orthanc]

Thanks!

Well, it's done! Get her here!

So now the Pirate Ship (the one with the same model) should take, what, twelve seconds? Look forward to it later today, at very latest (I have no idea why it would take that long) tomorrow!

 

[Stormrage]

Watcha makin` then? (I`m counting the Pirate ship as already finished )

 

[Orthanc]

Next will be the wooden Submarine, which'll take like a few minutes (it's dead simple, and remarkably similar to something else I've made ) after that I'll go for the King of Red Lions, with kid link onboard, which means I'll be making a full out kid Link (windwakwer styled) model, my first human model! Obviously, that boat will be considerably harder with it's various utilities, the talking dragon/lion head, and Link aboard. Should be fun!

 

[Stormrage]

How big will the ship be, if we`ll be able to see Link?
