Hollywood Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Don't wear yourself out, take a break now and again. If we can wait for From Software, then we can wait for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm gonna have to give him a Subscriber rank. Not that it'll do anything to help him, but maybe he'll get some more recognition for it, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanfear Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm really enjoying your models so far. I'm still being taught alot of the modeling part and stated animation last quarter at my college but if you need help I'm willing to try. Your doing an amazing job so far so please keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Tiger Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I can take 720p recordings of the parts in-game, as well as large 3MB .bmp screenshots. Just tell me what parts you want from where and I can record them, encode them down to around 50MB or so and upload them to my FTP or YouTube. Whichever you prefer.

Moodydata Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Well , Im almost done with the transport plane, Im adding to the design abit, making changes to suit the style obviously and also changes to the interior too. The Interior now will mainly be a hollowed out shell with a rib cage full of support struts, aswell as an overhead crane system for supporting the weight of the Vanguard System attached to an AC, the whole point is that I atleast want either a scene or a playable section in the demo that shows a test of a Vanguard unit to try and string together the two Universes or just to show how cool it will look having an air drop out of the back of a transport. The whole idea for the scene is to let the transport climb to a safe altitude, then keep climbing upwards at a angle and drop the AC out of the back , because the AC probably can only take the weight of the Vanguard Unit for so long without it being suspended , or atleast thats my assumption based on the fact that in FAs intro you only see White Glint stood up right for about 2 or so seconds before it hunches over to take the strain better.. As for the Subscriber status, Im not exactly sure what it is, but I am proud to have something presented to me for the work done so far, I only hope I can return the favor when it comes to the low poly and texture work to get the stuff ingame As for any help I can use, I could do with pics (cutscene or otherwise just as close as possible and as large as possible to capture the detail) of Any MTs , Preferably the more older style ones , for instance , the revamped old ones from ACNX or AC2 ones , because what I can do is , if I can get enough pictures of them from as many angles as possible , I can estimate the size of the parts that make up the model , and then do them in higher detail obviously and then put them into the project , preferably 1 reverse style walker , 1 flying, and 1 ground type for now ... Thanks again Pics of the transport later ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'll record me walking around some MT's later and upload them to my personal YouTube channel. >Niji01 The subscriber status is basically useless, haha. It does give some benefits, but most of them aren't really anything helpful. It's more about that custom user icon under your name, hahaha. Anyway, I plan on making special groups for people who just make provide all kinds of cool content with different icons than "Subscriber - B". Haha. Anyway, I know this project isn't for ACU, specifically, but I could care less. This is a big enough venture for the community that I think you deserve some recognition just for putting out so much effort. I mean, when you finish the project it's not guaranteed to be over, yah? Others who have a lot of experience may find it later on and decide to help out or carry it on further. A lot of projects have that happen nowadays. It could eventually explode into a large fan game. What you're doing is laying down the groundwork for some large potential, which I like quite a bit. Hopefully, ACU will have a lot of members joining after I finish a good advertising campaign. That might take a few months, though. We're barely even two weeks old, haha. Eventually, we should have a large enough member pool that you might be able to find some really good help. Haha.

Moodydata Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Done the AC Carrier , god it took ages thanks to poor reference , even with wide angle shots , it was still annoying to get certain parts and details into the mesh, I kitted the insides out , but took out the crane idea I had , because after working on it for most of the day I could not be fussed anymore about little things like that. Its almost 4am jeez time flyz when your modeling stuff T_T , think I might take a break tomorrow or rather later on today and actually play something XD For pics and a video of the carrier, go to moddb as normal Feedback is always welcome :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've recorded four videos. Two from Nexus and two from Another Age. I'll get to encoding them here in a bit and then I'll see how big they come out to be. I can always upload them to YouTube, but that will ruin the quality a bit, which may make it hard to see. I'll upload them to YouTube anyway while I sleep though, that way you'll have access to them sooner than if I uploaded them to my FTP. If you need them in higher quality I can upload them to my FTP and give you the download link. EDIT: Ok, I'm uploading to YouTube now. They should all be uploaded in about an hour from now. After that it may take about an hour or two to process all the videos into full HD, maybe less. Hope they help, tell me if you need them in better quality or if you need better videos in general. I just recorded at liesure for these, haha. =3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodydata Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just woke up and thought I would call in and see if there was anything to reply to, and sure enough there is The videos themselfs are fine , but I do need a few really close shots, the Walker MT from AA is fine cause I have the wallpaper to go off, so Dont worry about that, the Crane I think I can manage the levels just abit dark, the Jet Carrier I am waiting for it to process before I can give any feed back on that,and the Walker in the mission introduction on the Nexus Revolution disk I could have used the footage from the beginning where it gets punched aswell , cause that has a extra close up at one point. Thats about all I can comment on really , that and say thanks for the time spent on all of these , I will try to use them to the best of my ability.

Harakiri Tiger Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yah, I'll record some better ones then. AC games are really dark though, so I'll see if I can turn up the brightness in Premiere Pro while I encode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator98 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would like to help with the Photos, but all my vids are filmed with Webcam, so I don't think I'm of great help here... However, nice hearing all the nice things you're planning. That VOB idea seems attractive! Another idea is that... you could maybe build some sort of plane that's actually the Raven's base... it maybe could look a bit like the HUGE AIR CARRIER that gets shot down in the beginning of the NEXUS in-game intro.

Hollywood Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm kinda partial to the MT's from AC3-SL personally as they seem to hold up a bit more, but if you can use the ones that niji provided then go for it. either way it will be good.

Moodydata Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just uploaded a new image and video to moddb , need urgent feedback on this situation, as you can see easily, the model with less detail but with the texture that makes it look 3d, is the version I will be using ingame, but at the moment its totally flat sided, do you all think I should make the parts that are ment to stick out 3d aswell to balance it, so it looks better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Nah, it looks good to me as is. Adding more 3D to it will just make it harder to load and most of the details you could add seem to to be minor. The texturing seems to do a more than good enough job, if you ask me. They seem to still carry a lot of 3D detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodydata Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 , well if thats what the community wants and is fine with , I shall proceed as planned , does everyone else like the results so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
