chrono Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Disregard. There was a knock at the door. It was life. 319370[/snapback] Life? I think I heard of that. Is there still going to be a poster (the original aim of this thread) or has everyone just drifted off into other things? Like life perhaps? 319704[/snapback] More like it's summer and computers don't mix well with sand and surf.
Gammera Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 More like it's summer and computers don't mix well with sand and surf. Are you infering there is something to the this rumor of an "outside"?!
DatterBoy Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 That's blasphemy Dat. Why don't you post some sweet a$$ renders instead of useless text? Wait, that's what I just did. I'll fire off some renders tonite. 319348[/snapback] Hey Az, I would, but unfortunately, my sweet a$$ renders have not gotten any better since last I've posted. I need some new material... But I'd love to see more of your stuff. :Dat
Rodavan Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Good to read from u all ........ Have to agree with DAT , the renders are still the same
Mechmaster Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Are you infering there is something to the this rumor of an "outside"?! 320241[/snapback] Probably something to do with this "life" thing they were talking about. Sounds kind of complicated, I think I'll give it a miss.
Rodavan Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Tried that , ignoring "life" , I mean , I tried to run , I tried to hide , but "life" has a big 5 pound hammer and when it cathes up with you ......... Edited August 16, 2005 by Rodavan

mac666er Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Ok, guys, have been experimenting with NEW trends... like the conventional SDF 1 model and other types of shaders. I can finally post a movie!!! here is the link: Transformation movie Comments and crits wellcome! mac
mac666er Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks guys, I have been very busy with work but every spare second I have I try to work on my models Anyhow.. enough ranting... I am working on the details of my SDF-1 and its textures. TExtures are really very tricky. Maybe I wil be able to post soon. Dok, even though your model is simple, it is a really nice composition... nice work too Rod. mac
wwwmwww Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 here is the link:Transformation movie Comments and crits wellcome! mac 322165[/snapback] Well, I've tried this on 3 different computers now and I can't get this to play on any of them. Are you using a standard codec? Carl

Are you using a standard codec? Carl 322900[/snapback] You need the latest version of quicktime... If you have windows, you can get it from here... quicktime 7 or if you have a mac: quicktime for mac hope it helps, mac
wwwmwww Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 You need the latest version of quicktime...If you have windows, you can get it from here... quicktime 7 323139[/snapback] Well the latest version of quicktime needs Windows 2000 or XP. I have Windows ME at home. I'll give this a shot a work on Monday. I think I have XP there. Thanks, Carl
The_WOZ Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) Ok, after 2 weeks fighting Truespace's bugs, I managed to build the IK hierarchy of the leg, including muscles for the knee joint. BTW, very nice render DOK, looks like a model kit box cover. Here, the link for a shor animation I did last night. www.geocities.com/soft154i/leg.html Edited August 28, 2005 by The_WOZ
DatterBoy Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Been a while so I'll post. Same one as I put in the Wallpapers thread. This thread must never die....
mac666er Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Thought I should post my progress.. er.. or lack thereof... Nice valk dat mac.
broadshore Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Ok, guys, have been experimenting with NEW trends... like the conventional SDF 1 model and other types of shaders. I can finally post a movie!!! here is the link: Transformation movie Comments and crits wellcome! mac 322165[/snapback] Okay. I got two crits I want to point out for you. and I know someone is going to say. "YOUR NIPICKING!" Here it goes. The model is great! Love the Toon shading you done to the TV Series SDF-01. Now, the shoulder cannons during transformation seem to hit the two carriers. It could be timing or something got screwed up somewhere. Same with the Bridge area. If you look at it. It seems that head itself is going inside the left side of the main gun. Looks like the timing is off or something. great model thought! Which 3d App did you use?

Which 3d App did you use? 324338[/snapback] hmmmmm it was about time *somebody* pointed that out. You are entirely correct. I appreciate the critical eye! I am working on the dimensions of the model. As probably dat, rod and aztek can tell you, if you follow the designs from the TV series or the movie to the letter, you'll find out that they aren't 3-d coherent. That is... things like you just observed start happening. I think that is specially evident in the valkyrie. So.. what dat did is follow a toy blue print, but I want my model not to look toy-ish... hence I am experimenting... I am modelling in 3ds max, as for the toon shader... it is done in Maya. the transformation you saw there it is with a very simple model. I have a rather complex sdf 1 model, but I wanted to see how it looked in a toon shader... so I gave it a try. I'll post more pics/movies and see which one looks best... or rather.. not as awful! Thanks for the crit! mac
dedalus001 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Thought I should post my progress.. er.. or lack thereof... Nice valk dat mac. 324325[/snapback] that's an awesome bridge section.

Nice model, by the way. When we gonna get our VF-1's flyin out of it in an animation? :Dat

Aztek Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 Good shot! Maybe some new breath will flow into this thread.
Rodavan Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) Cool pic DAT Edited September 12, 2005 by Rodavan

maxsterling3 Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Hello, Everyone, I'm new to the forum and to 3d Modeling. I've got a Zentraedi Battlepod I've been working on (on and off, actually) right now it's chassis is almost complete (no real detail work done) and the legs aren't even started yet (working on it). and heres the other render. and some *gasp* Robotech (or mospeda in this case) stuff, I'll put up images as Soon as I can get them uploaded and ready. Edited September 26, 2005 by maxsterling3
chrono Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 YEA!!! More Zen! Solid work so far. How much are you hating those curves?
maxsterling3 Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Wow, it's tough. But I noticed as I was posting these pictures that theres some artifacts, so I'm going to try to fix those, when I have time (contract work kinda sucks) I'm thinking of starting over, I started this before my first 3ds class and now I'm sure I can do better now, higher poly too oh, and here are some more pictures (using the clay like renderings) and finally I think I like them better rendered like this.
