Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[BlackHand]

Here's another question for you guys- is the Hoth Turret we have a C&P unit? Also, do we have the radar dish-type turret from Hoth as well? I have models for both of these and might want to give them a shot. I've also found a proper Hoth Ion Turret, the big planetary ones. Let me know.

Otherwise, stay tuned for the Millenium Falcon up next

OK, what i want, is someone to teach me how to make those death anims with the ships and everything, because that is what is missing from my mon cal, my neb-b, and my sith infiltrator... (i don't think i posted the infiltrator...).
By C&P, do you mean is it just one frame, or do you mean does it move or something? Because my ships all sway and stuff... We don't have the radar-dish cannon.

 

[BlackHand]

Sheep- It's actually pretty easy to do, despite how difficult it sounds. All you need is OpenFX. You create a dummy light, put it where you want it, and then attach a post-production explosion to it. Maybe someone here who's better with explanations than I am can help you, but I know that if I can learn how to do it anyone can.

If I get a moment, and you still have the models for those ships, I'd be more than happy to do death animations for those once I finish the models I have planned so far.

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

Thats what I did. At the middle frame, I triggered the explosion, then at about the 3/4 mark, I removed the ship model, and it worked fine. But, depending on the ship, you may have to use an entirely different pallette for it.

 

[SheepMonster]

Does that cause the model to break in two as well?

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

no, you will have to do that on your own. Someone told me how to do that one time (I think it was polyphemus), but I don't remember what is was...You can make several models and peice them together to look like the main one, and then move them apart when the explosion takes place. I think there is an easier way tho...

@Darth Bob
if yould like to know how to create a unit then just go to my tutorials in my Signature.

 

[odintheking]

Hey, Polyphemus! Haven't seen you in a while.

 

[BlackHand]

Would there be any use to Golan Defence Platforms? I've kind of had the urge to make them, and I've got the models for all three...I think I might make them when the Falcon's all finished. Make them, that is, as long as there'd be a use to them.

 

[SheepMonster]

you're a bit late on those golans i'm afraid. at some stage (when my USB stick starts working again) i'll be able to post my work on all three golans (sorry), a sith infiltrator, and the snowspeeder.
Heh, i remember when blackahdn didnt know how to make units *eyes glaze over* now he makes better units than me

Oh, how come everyone's avatar seems to have become link? the new game isnt going to be out for ages is it?

 

[Chris85]

Right now it appears the new Zelda is coming out in April, although there still isn't an official release date. Everyone can't wait for this game so I guess if we all change to Link avatars, the game will come out quicker.

How did this thread get to the second page?

Anyway, Home One is up!

 

[jobiwan7]

The Death Star is operational!

 

[odintheking]

You're a machine, man!

 

[odintheking]

Okay, since two home ones have been made, I propose this: Morpheus' be used as the Home One Capital ship, and jobiwan's to replace the MC-80 with the MC-85 in the unit line, and we use sheepmonster's mon cal cruiser as the MC-40.

 

[Darth Bob]

I second odinthekings idea.

 

[Darth Bob]

Also I think I'm starting to figure out how to make units, so I am going to devote this weekend to trying to make a test unit so I can start making good ones.

How about we use Jobiwan's as the MC-40 instead. Home 1 and the MC-40 look similar to each other, there the same color and have a somewhat similar shape, as opposed to the MC-80 which is a different color and has wings.

 

[odintheking]

How 'bout just a random MC-85? The Rebel Alliance used plenty of them. It could go:

Nebulan Frigate > MC-80 > MC-85

 

[jobiwan7]

The CR-20 is up!
