Very nice!

Do you have 3D Studio Max 4 or above? If you do, you can look at Duncan's tutorial at the JA modeling forum, if you don't, or just don't wanna mess with it, I'll be more than happy to do it.

KHaRMa · 11-09-2003, 11:24 AM

That would be really nice, wait, i have to make the textures of the metal objects

tFighterPilot · 11-09-2003, 11:30 AM

It seems all textured

KHaRMa · 11-09-2003, 11:31 AM

i know, but it isnt at all

tFighterPilot · 11-09-2003, 11:37 AM

What software are you using?

KHaRMa · 11-09-2003, 12:37 PM

3DS Max 5, if u want i send you the model now, want it with textures?

Zappa_0 · 11-09-2003, 01:03 PM

Of course.

LightNinja · 11-09-2003, 04:55 PM

Ok, then tell me your mail, cuz it isnt in your profile

tFighterPilot · 11-09-2003, 05:02 PM

Now comes the question Who did LightNinja referred to, and why.

KHaRMa · 11-09-2003, 05:29 PM

Cuz i sent him a PM saying that maybe i could do the skin of his eopie, but anyway, tell me your mail because it seems that they arent in the profiles and ill send it now.

tFighterPilot · 11-09-2003, 05:32 PM

lol, I guess LightNinja didn't thought it all out.

Next time, when PMed, PM back.

LightNinja · 11-09-2003, 05:35 PM

Well, next time ill send a PM, but i had the window of the droid fighter open and (im a bit lazy

) i posted it there cuz anyway he will see it lol

KHaRMa · 11-09-2003, 05:39 PM

imyourfather, you forgot the mail lol!

tFighterPilot · 11-09-2003, 05:45 PM

My email is asaf_sch@walla.co.il

You'll also have to tell me what weapons do you want it to have.

RaSiN_HeCk · 11-09-2003, 05:51 PM

Lazers and Clusster Misslies! w00t!

well, what ever you want I suppose, but clusster misslies would be cool

DarkLord60 · 11-09-2003, 09:46 PM

Looks sweet keep up the good work!

KHaRMa · 11-10-2003, 11:09 AM

Mmmh, how many weapon exists?, cluster, laser,...

tFighterPilot · 11-10-2003, 01:35 PM

I'll just do as I see fit.

Just finish skinning it, and send it to me.

KHaRMa · 11-10-2003, 03:12 PM

iyfather , your mail was sent

tFighterPilot · 11-10-2003, 04:21 PM

Thank god for starwars.com

When in starfighter mode, the droid carries four blaster cannons in its wings, and two energy torpedo launchers along its forward edge. When transformed into walking mode, the launchers are angled for antipersonnel use.

Too bad you can't make it transform in JA...

KHaRMa · 11-14-2003, 01:31 PM

tfp, maybe i send it tomoro, cuz maybe today i cant group it

DarkLord60 · 11-14-2003, 08:15 PM

KHaRMa you ever think about joining AOTC:TC. We could use you. Give me shout at J_hamp60@hotmail.com

ObiKast · 11-19-2003, 10:47 PM

Any news?

DarkLord60 · 11-19-2003, 10:53 PM

Yeah this a great model I hope it sees the light of day.

tFighterPilot · 11-20-2003, 10:34 AM

I'm know just as much as you does.

This model has WAY too many parts, and tomorrow may never come

If anyone thinks he can reduce the number of parts, I'll send it to him.

DarkLord60 · 11-21-2003, 12:51 AM

Thats a shame.

Manquesa · 11-21-2003, 01:49 AM

exactly what error are you getting. Because if it's the error i'm thinking of then it's not so much that is has too many parts but it has parts with too many faces/polys/vertices/whatever. If that's it, then you just need to divide the complicated parts in 2 and name them differently so they're treated as seperate parts and not one big complicated part. I had to do this with my awing.

Yeah it would be a shame, so if you really don't think you can get it and if Kharma doesn't mind then send it my way. I'll have a go at it.

tFighterPilot · 11-21-2003, 09:29 AM

No error, but it's impossible to skin it.

KHaRMa · 11-21-2003, 12:51 PM

Ok, im doing a new model with much less polys, i have much work, but i think ill finish next week (i know too much time, but i have exams next week so...)

Manquesa · 11-22-2003, 01:19 AM

huh, I though it was already skinned, oh well

tFighterPilot · 11-22-2003, 08:58 AM

Did I say skin? I meant model_default.skin

Oh ok, well yeah that's a real pain in the ass to write with a lot of parts but i'm not aware of amy limitations on part numbers, maybe you can "attatch parts together in max and rename them to make it simpler" you might have to add an edit mesh modifier to do it so you don't mess up the uvw coordinates. Just a thought.

KHaRMa · 11-22-2003, 06:37 PM

Mmmh, imyourfather, u could regroup all the not important objects in one group and aply them a metal skin, there are much lines that are not very important, you could regroup then and i'd dont have to remake the model

KHaRMa · 11-27-2003, 04:05 PM

Ok, the model has now about 6 parts instead of +20 (

), i've sent it to you tfighter to do the magic touch. If you know how to do the animation of the wings do it plz.

KHaRMa · 11-27-2003, 05:47 PM

i forgot to say that my yahoo account dont works since 2 weeks ago, so now send me mails to the email that u will see in the one i sent you.

tFighterPilot · 11-28-2003, 02:32 PM

I keep having problems. First of all, a lot of the parts had the same name, I cahnged it. Then there were too many faces, was pretty easy to fix, but now, The images are not in the power of 2, and I really don't know how to change their size without it cousing a problem.

KHaRMa · 11-29-2003, 09:59 AM

The samename parts are for been put as a group, and what u mean with "The images are not in the power of 2"?

Manquesa · 11-29-2003, 05:06 PM

all texures can only be in the power of 2. meaning....

2 X 2
4 X 4
16 X 16
32 X 32
64 X 64
128 X 128
256 X 256
512 X 512
1024 X 1024

or any combination will work as well

128 X 512
256 X 1024

etc.
