VIO Posted June 20, 2002 Author Posted June 20, 2002 thx its not nearly as complicated or large as your slave 1 which by the way also is looking great
simarilius Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 looking good vio. found some more pics of the ILM sfx model that i thought you might find useful, although you look like your almost done. http://membres.lycos.fr/simarilius/pics/magic-snow1.jpg http://membres.lycos.fr/simarilius/pics/magic-snow2.jpg http://membres.lycos.fr/simarilius/pics/magic-snow3.jpg keep up the good work sim (you can also go to http://membres.lycos.fr/simarilius/reference.htm to get all the pics at once) (btw I'm not french, just using a french host)
VIO Posted June 21, 2002 Author Posted June 21, 2002 thx alot those are great i have one problem though i can'r get that rounded curve shape on the back part the the lasers ______ / --------------- [u]'''''''''''''''[/u] \______ i can't make a rounded slope if i use a patch mesh the vertexs won't line up right to my other shape even if i move the vertexes around it won't line up right
simarilius Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 if you mean you cant get it to line up with the front section of the gun (the barrel bit) then why not make the barrel a patch too? its the kind of place a patch would look very good with the smooth curve. btw, anyone know what the deal is with texturing patch meshes? half of the surface propertie buttons dont work with my patches and its starting to bug the hell out of me.
VIO Posted June 21, 2002 Author Posted June 21, 2002 no not that the back part were the large circle thing shinks into a smaller circle thing, this is between those two support blocks on the wings
simarilius Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 ok, i see the problem know, the only thing i can think of is to make all the bits between the two support blocks out of patches. I've been having similar problems getting patches to match up with the surrounding brush mesh on my falcon, if you do find a solution, let me know, would be most useful. (one thought that just occured to me, if the number of segments in the patch matched the number of faces on the brush then there would be the right number of vertices to be able to line it up properly, worth a try at least.)

If you're using gtkradiant then I believe you have to press shift+s for the patch mesh surface inspector. And VIO, you might need to just add more patch points to your patch meshes, just insert rows and insert columns and decrease your grid size to 1 if necessary to get things lined up right. A lot of the work i've been doing with the Slave 1 has been using grid 1. Those patches are a pain in the @$$ sometimes.
VIO Posted June 22, 2002 Author Posted June 22, 2002 well i made the gun pieces out of cylinder and patch meshes i'll have some screens up on this site http://stormtroopersaga.jedioutcastmaps.com/VIO/index.html
VIO Posted June 24, 2002 Author Posted June 24, 2002 yeah i need some help guys i suck at making textures does anyone know were i can get some?
Grets Sirob Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Hey vio! Good game. Anyway, I hope you get your textures, cause this models gonna be awsome, I may even add it to my hba level. If you get it out in time. Raaarwwaag!
VIO Posted June 25, 2002 Author Posted June 25, 2002 thx they should be out i might even throw some static pilots in one version if someone skins one...lol groucho marx is the man
Manquesa Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Originally posted by VIO yeah i need some help guys i suck at making textures does anyone know were i can get some? VIO, you might want to try what i'm doing for my Slave 1 prefab. I suck a making textures too, so I found this really nice model of the Slave 1 done in 3DSMax, so I downloaded it and got all the textures for that, then I contacted the guy who made the model and got permission from him to use his textures. I'm sure there's a snowspeeder model or 2 online somewhere, just do a search for one.
PainGod Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 VIO, Good job, man. As soon as I get done with the map I'm doing on the S.Saga I intend to build a Hoth map. I'll be using Antilles' ATAT prefab and would love to use this one too. Pg (Xlr8)
VIO Posted June 25, 2002 Author Posted June 25, 2002 thx i watn to build a hoth map too, good luck on yours, me too for that matter
PainGod Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Well, you and I are already working S.S. together.... why don't we combine efforts and build Hoth? Has Volrath told you about the forum I created for us?
VIO Posted June 26, 2002 Author Posted June 26, 2002 im sry i've been taking a break, form the speeder but hey i just textured and finished the inside of the cocpit and i finished the whole patch mesh thing on the side
Jango_Fett91 Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Hey you can make a Rebel Pilot in there So it looks like hes fixing it or driving it.
VIO Posted June 28, 2002 Author Posted June 28, 2002 hey i was think of that but...maybe i'll alter a model, anyway i textured and finished the inside of the cocpit i'll have some pits of that soon im still not sure how im going to texture it, becuase ireally can't make my own at least not good, i might be able to pull of the clean textues but not the scared crashes textures.
Grets Sirob Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Two things: 1. Originally posted by VIO i'll have some pits of that soon Really? Hmm, weird... 2. Originally posted by VIO i might be able to pull of the clean textues but not the scared crashes textures. Clean is fine with me. Hey, you there!
VIO Posted June 28, 2002 Author Posted June 28, 2002 yeah don you know once you make a cocpit of a snow speeder the give you pits
