monsoontide Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Started work on this a while ago but what with the Dewback, N1, Speeder-Bike, Acklay & Biker Scout, haven't had time to get back to it... Texture is just a temp colour map. expect more soon
Neverhoodian Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Ah, a Nexu. Those things are fierce. (and mean, scratching pretty Padme) I liked it how it yelped like a dog when it recieved that vicious kick in the arena. Still, it'd be one heck of a guard animal. I look forward to seeing more of it!
Miko Reglia Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 i think itd be one hell of a steed too, riding it into battle against a rancor:D thats if it was going to be a vehicle of course... anyway good work!

monsoontide Posted November 23, 2003 Author Posted November 23, 2003 Yeah, spines and teeth too I've done them but I'm still working out which way will be the most practicle (And use the fewest points!)
Zappa_0 Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Ah cool, I cant wait to see it. I have the Acklay and Nexu toys on top of my pc, and yes I am a collector. And I guess I will start on some sounds for you also monsoon.
Vinvar Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Great work! Just 1 to go for my sandarena I wanna be a beta tester (maybe to soon, but by the acklay I was to late, so...) Can you also make a version of it where you can't ride on them?
tFighterPilot Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 There is Unfortunally, you can't make one both attack and ridable.

Where can I download it?
monsoontide Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 "Sigh!" "He will LEARN patience." The one you can ride and the one you can't are the same thing - just one is the npc version and the other the vehicle version. Changed the pic at the top of this thread to show the model with a temporary texture applied.
Usurpo Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Cool...but you ride ontop of those spikes? Ow? Might want to put a padded sabble on or somthing...
Cazor Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Wow. looks really nice. Saw your sith speeder at jk2files, and that looks really sweet. Hope you find a nice way for the player to sit on it without... ouch. Anyways, i have some other questions i would like to ask you, so could you IM me on AIM? I'm CazorFett. Thanks, and good luck with this beast.
monsoontide Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 You can PM me here with questions. I don't use any sort of IM programs.
DarkLord60 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 I love your work I really wish you would join our Team.
monsoontide Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Unfortunately, my spare time is VERY slim (& Los Angeles traffic is very bad)
DarkLord60 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Wow LA huh. Unfortunatlly I live in a very small town so I don't know what thats like.
monsoontide Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 I'm not overly fond of LA (Too much traffic) and am hoping to move back to Middle E... I mean New Zealand in the next couple of years.
Tito Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Great, let's switch homes... You get to live in old, boring, little Denmark, and I go to LA! By the way, forgot to mention, great looking kitty you've got there!
monsoontide Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Unless you have $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LA is just like anywhere else, and did I mention the traffic?! ALso something else they don't tell you about LA is the fog (They call it the marine layer)!!!
Vinvar Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 question: which program are you using for modelling?? Where can I get it?
monsoontide Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Lightwave 7.5. But I would suggest going with GMAX (free cut down version of 3DS max) or downloading the demo of MAX 6 if you intend to model for Jedi Knight. Although I personally feel Lightwave has the better modeler, 3DSMAX is more compatile with the plugins for making Jedi Academy stuff. If you're interested in 3D animation, download the MAYA 5 personal learning edition (it's free)
tFighterPilot Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 3D Studio Max isn't that bad for animating either. I'm still waiting for Wudan's "Dragon"
monsoontide Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Of course, it all comes down to what you the artist do with the tools. Did I mention Keshire now has my Biker Scout model for processing? Should get to do some more work on the Nexu this weekend.
