Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[odintheking]

I have just completed the Droid Lander.

 

[jobiwan7]

...and I've just completed the Munificent.

EDIT: Also, I'd like to try out the Star Destroyer, but I can't find a working model on SciFi 3D, and SWA seems to be down. Anyone have a good model to use? I'd appreciate it.

Good job on the units guys!

I'm assuming you're talking about the classic Imperial SD? I don't have any Star Destroyers laying around, but I do see several models at SciFi 3d, do none of those work?

 

[jobiwan7]

Either the models were too big, or they turned out weird after OpenFX scaled them.

I did manage to find one, though.

I'll probably do something about the lasers, they look a little strange to me.

 

[odintheking]

Awesome! I'd make the lasers a bit greener. Maybe the model thing was because you downloaded a file that OpenFX couldn't read. Always use 3DS files.

I'm planning on making the lasers greener. Also, I did use only 3DS models, and none of them worked well.

 

[odintheking]

Oh. Well, I'm calling on you OpenFX masters for help. I want to trt to animate a model. I have the model in a good position with Morpheus' template in the animator, so now what do I do?

 

[Darth Bob]

The Star Destoryer looks great. On the matter of Star Destroyers, does anyone know how long until a Venator class is completed?

 

[BlackHand]

I think Bjornlo has one and is going to do it, but I think he's also still working on his floating battery project. I might decide to try and crank on out to fill in just in case Bjornlo gets too busy, but that's assuming I figure out what I'm doing with the Providence-Class.

 

[Chris85]

Sweetness with the Star Destroyer, Jobiwan!

@Darth Bob - You're better off asking Bjornlo since he's the one making the unit. I do know he likes to take his time and I think he's got a couple of other projects in between so it'll probably be a few more weeks.

 

[BlackHand]

Ok guys, I need some help. I'm working on the Providence's attack. I've got her turning into the broadside nicely, and I've set up all of the dummy lights for lasers. The only problem is that I have to delay the laser animations until she's fully turned or it looks weird. I've set that up fine, but when I go to render, it stalls at about 6%, says it's rendering the "...LASER.dll" animation, but the rendering window is frozen. Anyone know what the deal is?

 

[odintheking]

Maybe it's just taking a long time to render? Anyway, can an OpenFX user tell me what to do after the model, cameras and stuff are in place?

 

[jobiwan7]

The Star Destroyer is done, by the way.

 

[Darth Bob]

The Star Destroyer is great jobiwan.

 

[I am the Future]

Hey guys, when can we expect this to be released? I dont really hang around the Civ 3 section any more, and I was just curius since the forum search is down and all.

 

[Chris85]

I guess we'll try to get it out by early spring (sometime in March), but that's tentative since the release date keeps getting pushed back due to our limited number of unit makers.

 

[Red Door]

I would help, but I don't have a program that could make units.

 

[odintheking]

That's ok. Are you any good at static graphics or pedia entries?

 

[Quinzy]

i can. do you want help? im an ok pedia icons maker, if you want help.
