Maybe Resnig got scared and pushed the big red button for a quick & Cheap death

Wait, if you were talking about MOO3, it's coming out the 26th [ 11-12-2002, 04:21 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr_ Laracuente ]

I just checked EBgames and the supposed release date is today, Maybe its a error. Anyways it's coming out this week. BTW, from what i have seen, MOO3 is gonna be sweet too. I can't belive you didn't like the game EP5, well, everyone has his/her own likes so i wont argue.

Well, it's coming out in a few days so i thought i should put a topic about it. The demo was good and i liked it a lot, its the true substitute for IG3 if it doesn't see the day of light. These games are of my kind so i asked my father and we preordered right away. I hope the game to be fun and to have that kind of magic that some games like BC3K, BCM, Conquest FW, Star Trek Armada, etc. have had on me. It even costs 10 dollars less than a new release (40 instead of 50) As i said i am eagerly awaiting this game, so i would like to know what do you think about this game.

modeling is kinda easy when you get used to it... though you have to work to come up with something good. All these pics i've posted here are my first models of all time. They look good, and with that practice i'm improving them. It's a matter of growing your skills with practice.

what's that? Maybe you should consider buying a known program like milkshape 3d (which is very cheap, like US$20 if i am not mistaken) or you could go with 3dstudio max(assuming you have nothing to do with your money since it costs some big $$) Well, no problem SC, luckily my father uses max 4 in his office so maybe i wii put the models in BCG. I will also take the advantage of the high-detail textures of BCG using them in yhese models... BTW, i'm finishing my english school in the coming months, that means that there is a small chance that i might take that free time to build a huge Star Wars total conversion of this game with a small of modellers i have around here. Remember: Possibility TM Thanks for wasting your time reading all that crap i wrote [ 11-11-2002, 05:09 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr_ Laracuente ]

and besides bcstudio, you need the GBS-II which has not been released yet

with BCstudio, but AFAIK there are only exporters for 3d studio max 2 and 3. And i use max 5 . I hope the SC makes the plugin work for max 5 so i can put my ships into it.

Yep, it's the only way to save yourself when everything is gone. And you were lucky to have that shuttle because i don't think you would have been able to launch one with the lack of power. Nice story BTW. Imagine something like this in MP... it's gonna be great

Hey boys, one last picture, the Eliminator It was made by my lil' 10 years old brother (not kidding) That's all

Who wants cake?!? Aegis Battleship (low polygon-version) Higher polygon versions will be made for a Haegemonia mod that i'm preparing. It doesn't look the way i wanted it to, but building textures is a big pain i will take some time to make them better. Special thanks to my 10 year old brother who gave me ideas for the shape of the model, etc... Expect improved versions of all models + new ones in the near future.

so you're back in the saddle again... Well, glad to see you back

Inbound, Inbound!!! Still unfinished, the textures are just samples since i'm going to build them from scratch for my models 801 polys total Well, these are the last pics i'm going to post so that 56k'ers don't feel the pain Any new ones will go into the intercorp website BTW, the name is Mercy and the previous one that i had posted name is hunter

I'm glad you liked it, i might leave it like that for a while since it looks good as it is right now. It's just that making the materials from scratch is a bit time consuming, so i will divide the short daily hours i spend in these things like this: 75%modeling 25%making the materials (textures). (i prefer modeling, its more fun ) Hey litvyak, paintshop is a great program, borrowed it yesterday and it is very easy to use but i still have to get used to it... If i have time i will post a small pic of another model i'm currently working on Cheers [ 10-18-2002, 06:03 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr_ Laracuente ]

oki'll post only 2 pics then, at resolutions as low as i can (their size doesn't go higher than 3-4kb) so here the are... BTW, Riga is gonna let me post pictures on the intercorp website so when i get authorization will put them there in higher resolutions. Here they are: Note that they are textured but without too much precision so it doesn't look like it should. It's just that i got frustrated trying to put decent textures on it with precision and they didn't match... I'lll change them when i build new ones The total size is like 8k so no need to worry 56k'ers Enjoy

Sorry for the inconvenience SC... i didn't know that rule

Yep, btw, i've edited my previous post, now containing the pic.

They dont accept more than 45 kb and i mine is 900kb!!!!!!!!, i'll try to change format to something smaller EDIT: I did it, its in png now.Remember that the model is still untextured, and is also far from completion, also note that i'm a rook modeller who got his 3d studio max box a few weeks ago so don't criticize me because it's ugly or something DELETED. NO embedded images on this board I'll post the textured version when i get back from the u.s on monday... Please, share your comments and thoughts so i can improve the ship and my modeling skills. P.S. : I'm still needing a place to find good spaceships textures Enjoy [ 10-17-2002, 08:27 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Well, i have a picture of a ship i'm working on, i would like to post it but i don't know were i can host it... Maybe any of you out there can host it in their website... A little preview: 1400+ polys (currently working on it to get the best results vs poly count) The model is still far from completion, i still have to do some adjustments and it is still untextured. BTW, does anybody know a good place where i can fid good textures for spaceships, i'll be using those from bcm meanwhile. Now, i'm waiting for someone to reply to se if he/she can host it? P.S. i am working on several other models also, when they are near completion i'll post some pics P.P.S still waiting for someone to host the picture:D

19? i'm only 15 lol Cheers!

Ummm.... Resnig a la OTS, does that taste good? Nce story [ 10-02-2002, 07:10 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr_ Laracuente ]

The chicken revolution is here!!!!!, at least on this game... Haven't tried it yet but the story says tha chickens from another galaxy have come to save the chickens on earth LoL!!!!!

Grabbed this from the web THE LINK quote: Just as ATI thought they had got one over nVidia by releasing their next generation chip earlier, the well documented ATI reliability seems to have struck again. The various issues which have plagued ATI in the past i.e. driver problems, have damaged the company's reputation and the latest glitch is not going to do much to change that. According to ATI, owners of the RADEON 9700 Pro will not be able to run it at the, much hyped, 8x AGP. ATI claim that their engineers are working non-stop in order to correct the issue. But this is not the only problem reported by users, certain systems seem to experience severe driver issues under NTFS. The complete report by ATI reads: In certain cases, after installing the RADEON 9700 PRO 128MB in an AGP 8x capable motherboard, the system will not post, or boot up. Not all AGP 8x motherboards are affected. Some Customer's have reported that lowering the AGP transfer speed in some instances, will allow the system to then post. Incopatibility.... That's why i don't like ATI [ 09-17-2002, 11:11 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr_ Laracuente ]

He forgot to put the link!!! LOL... Happened to me once

That's why i don't like messing with naking home pc's. I'm happy with gateway doing the job for me... their prices are very low for what they give. Compare the prices of the area 51 with a 500xl(upgraded to area 51 standards) if you want to see what i mean
