Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Based on the pictures availible on lucasarts.com I made a picture to give an impression of how the siege battledroid (what's it's name?) is animated ... watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Interesting, but wasn't that kinda self- explanatory? But nonetheless, good work, looks good! Don't take my first comment personally, I just kinda wondered how else they would open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes the only thing your missing is rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Author Share Posted August 6, 2001 Well ... I need some more pictures for that. Creating them myself from that one single frame is a hard job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I bet it is. Putting that together...On your website then transfering it over here? am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Author Share Posted August 6, 2001 What I meant is making it roll. I have one image where it's curled up. To make it roll I need at least 2 other curled up pictures and creating them is a tough job. Uploading it to my webspace and linking to it here is easy.

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Looks nice, what did you use to make that? Alos, when you say seige so you mean that that is there "trebuchet" type weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Author Share Posted August 6, 2001 I use Animation Shop 3 to make animations. It's bundled with Paint Shop Pro 7. You can get a demo if you like at http://www.jasc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Thanks, i'm downloading it now. Have you ever done anything with Flash or Dreamweaver? I've done alittle with each, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Author Share Posted August 6, 2001 Noy yet. I'm someone who uses everything legal and I can't afford Flash and Dreamweaver. But next year I'm gonna work with those programs at school on the i-mac ... So maybe there will be a day that I fulle use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yeah, they are pretty expensive. I've only got them coz i my dad owns a programming company and he gets free software, well, almost free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 That's cheap! (do not take meaning wrong: not fair is the meaning of cheap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueJedi86 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Okay the animation technique aside,I think that little animation has just made me change from using droideka's to attack to using siege droids to attack(and maybe a couple droieka's). As more and more units come out for the federation, I am slowly building up the perfect attack force to utterly destroy an opponent.(can't wait for the game to come out so I can test my 'perfect attack force') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 The perfect task force....50 ATATs, 50 TIEs, 50 Anti-Air troops, 25 Dark Troopers, 25 Villagers. Not that i like the imps, but that would be pretty devestating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 that's great and dandy, folks... gee, i even have to WORK as a mod.. back to the animation: does this make the TF-blaster cannon unit the only fast mobile unit out there ? I'd say it does. Makes them pack quite a punch and it looks like they're the civ to chose for rushing then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You build them quick but the die just as quick? I posted on topic to the rest of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 don't mind if i do i'm saying that this configuration of TF blaster cannons suggests that they can get heavy artillery to you very fast. Surely this unit is faster than an ATAT ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueJedi86 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I'm guessing maybe that siege droid could be the equivalent of the trebuchet. They both have to be deployed to fire and are pretty powerful when deployed. Could that be what it's function is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 That is what the function is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvan Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Hopefully it will have a slow rate of fire? It could be fast (moving) and hits hard but not offten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
