im back working on models again and i fully animated this and almost got the UV maps done so that i can start on the texture. i was gonna post a movie of it but i cant seem to figure out how to convert a .mov to .gif using adobe image ready and filefront is down so i cant post the movie there to download. i didnt want to host it on a place like direct upload or any of those cause theyre adware infested spam-fests.

EDIT: maybe someone can tell me how to make it into a .gif using photoshop or image ready?

EDIT... again... : ok FF is back, heres a link to the movie...

Absolutely beautiful, Mini. The Lambda should have been in there if anything should have. Mind you, I doubt that a Pandemic made Lambda for the game would look as nice as yours, I haven't seen a better model for it anywhere, and I can see why.

Look forward to seeing it ingame, though sometimes I can get the Theta stuck under the support beams in the Imperial hanger. With that extra high wing the hanger would have to be a little taller. If that is the case, I would recommend cutting a bit of slack on the collision mesh, so you can get closer without the shuttle spontaneously exploding.

well it uses 150 frames of animation just for the takeoff animation so im trying to make it to where the wings arent fully extended while still in the hangar so that you dont hit and blow up.

Interestingly enough, the wings don't extend till it is out of the hanger, as shown here. It might be a problem when it comes to landing however. The only thing I can think of is making it a tad smaller. It would be unfortunate, but worry about all that later.

If I ever finish my map, I would have liked to build a new star destroyer, one with a proper hanger. Its already made, but I need to add lots of detail, slice it up for LOD and texture it. I hate texturing...

yeah im not bad at texturing it just takes time to make a good texture and ill get bored half-way through it, kinda like the t-16 that i need to finish. i think the games ISDs are only slightly smaller than they need to be and the hanger is there on the underside its just that i think they figured itd be hard to get in and out of it without crashing.

Yes those hangers are a bit small. I can show you how to turn a movie into a gif if you like, next time i see you on msn.
oh and btw good work

I am very impressed with the Lambda Shuttle, minilogo.
And you seem to have also succeeded in making it very clean and low-poly.
Great work!

thanks, i just need to find the patience to make the textures, the only part that needs to be UV mapped is the cockpit, the rest is done.

Wow, that looks great mini', I would like flying that

^Destroyer^

just one thing to say: gaaaaah,very nice animation

Woah. Definatly filming a vid if this is going to be added with future maps.

i was bored and decided to do this.
i dont know when ill ever get back to any of my projects, a certain lady friend occupies almost all of my time and i also just go hang out with my friends alot more too so im never on the computer, but maybe ill get a chance to finish some stuff up.

o wow, that is pretty sweet mini lookin good!

Maybe you could send the scene file to Vyse or Qdin and they can finish the stuff up?

nah - he should take his time

we all know how great things get if people just sit down and do it, instead of making other's do it; it usually adds a bit

well, unless there's a deadline

lol true

A modder/modeller with lady freinds!?!?!

I thought I was the only one lol .

UHmmm... modding doesnt mean you don't have a life lol. I'm sure more than 3 people on this site have "lady friends."

dude im seriously nothing like you guys may think, all i ever do is skateboard all the time other than work and hang out with my GF alot, i just have a talent that seems kinda nerdy, most of my friends including her know nothing about any of this that i do. i dont even consider myself much of a SW fan either, i just watch the movies, im no toy collecting dork, ive never read any of the comics or seen the CW cartoons but i read 1 book and it was shadows of the empire and only cause someone gave me a .pdf of it. i got into modding a couple of years ago cause i used to like to play video games alot but now im getting rid of almost all of them cause i dont play them and i havnt bought any new ones in ages nor do i plan to buy any of the new platforms. i just have no real desire to make anything anymore, i was gonna go to school for game design but im even completely rethinking that and what i want to do with my life.

That's my point... the fact that you do something on the computer doesnt mean that all you do is that. I'm sure most of the guys here including me do a lot of stuff outside of gaming/modding and also rather do anything in real life instead of modeling/mapping/skinning whatever it is.
