Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[Chris85]

Good god, I go MIA for a little while and SW units start sprouting up. At least that Tauntaun is finally done.

 

[odintheking]

Welcome back, Chris! And we got a new team member, thegreats, who is currently working on Dooku. And yes, thanks to him and you, the tauntaun is done, . Anyhoo, the new ARC Droid (I think) has a couple of bugs, and seeing as how you're the king of unit conversion revitalization (cool title, huh?) could you fix them, please?

 

[thegreats]

I need a great help in palettes, in unit colors please can someone post a tutorial of this or a link to one that is for newbies.

 

[polyphemus]

good news!!!!!! ( at least for me)
I only have 1 week of school left plus 1 week of finals. ill then be gone to the USAFA summer seminar for 1 week then i should be able to devote some time to this prject.

YES!!!!!!!!

 

[odintheking]

@thegreats - most of us suck at pallettes, except Chris (who is awesome) and polyphemus (whose colors come out pretty well, he also posted the PEdit thing). Ask one of them,

@Polyphemus - sweet! What do you plan to work on first? (would you mind making your SSD a bit smaller?)

That ARC Droid could definately work as the Separatists 3rd Era Infantry. I'll try to get around to fixing it, but the Republic Cruiser has really frustrated me. First off OpenFX screws up and stops working on my computer so I have to reinstall it and start over on animating the Republic Cruiser. Then I decided to change the textures on the cruiser twice, and just when I got it right where I wanted it, something happened to the textures and next thing I know the ship is all gray. Now I have to spend a few hours getting the textures back to where they were, then I notice that the lighting is off. I have to spend more time adjusting the lighting to where it looks right. Now I've finally got back to the point where I'm animating it again. Now you can see why I haven't done much on units lately.

 

[odintheking]

That's ok, as long as it's getting done, . I'm having OpenFX problems, too, . Evil program....

 

[thegreats]

I agree you odintheking, to someone in this community it is working.(not me)

 

[Darth Bob]

I was wondering, is anyone making or done with a Venator Class Star Destroyer?

Just wondering because its been several months since I last asked and nobody has seemed to make any progress in that respect.
So if anyone can give me any info it would be great.

 

[odintheking]

Well, I think Bjorn is going to do it after he gets settled in his new home, .

 

[SheepMonster]

i made a start a while back, but i have no idea what happened to it... it had the default, the move, and i was halfway through the attack anim, but i think i may have lost it somehow when cleaning up my computer's HDD (i only have 20gb...)... sorry about that.

 

[odintheking]

Hey, SheepMonster! Haven't seen you in ages. Good to see you back, .

 

[polyphemus]

check out the MOD strikes back thread, i need all of ur inputs.

 

[polyphemus]

what happened?? it seems as if me and odin are the only ones alive here!!

 

[odintheking]

Eh, I'm doing my best. Chris and I have been a bit sidetracked with the Wind Waker mod, and I with Lord of Ragnarok. I tried doing stuff in OpenFX, but Olorin never finished sending me the tutorial, . Although, since Orthanc's POV-ray tutorial seems so easy, I might start making units with his tutorial, . Maybe when LotM is finished, Olorin could help us a bit with the mod..

 

[BlackHand]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack Sorry for my absence as of late, but I've been way busy with practically everything under the sun. Now that I've got everything out of the way for the summer, though, I decided to get back to work. I've been tooling around with about, oh, 10-15 models today alone, so be alert for some hardcore previews for the next few days, and maybe even some completed units! My apologies, though, as it might take me one or two units to get my bearings on OpenFX back


[edit] The lighting in this still is messed up...the darkened portion of the upper-wing is blue, for the civ-coloration. Comments? Concerns? Flames?

 

[Olorin0222]

It looks really good.

 

[odintheking]

Yay! Someone's back!

 

[BlackHand]

Yes indeed, someone's back! What do you guys think about the size on that Lambda in the preview? Does it look about right, or should it be a tad smaller?

 

[odintheking]

Oh, that's at civ-scale? Then smaller, . Also, BlackHand, could you give me some pointers on how to animate in OpenFX? Olorin was going to, but he's been quite busy with LotM, and hasn't gotten back to me yet.
