adthrawn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I am making a TC for the Clone Wars. I only need some models then I'll be able to move along steady from there. Some of the models i'd like are+Venator Star Destroyer+Trade Federation Cruiser(Invisible Hand)+Comerace Guild ship+Republic Troop transport+And a Alligance Star Destroyer I know this a tall order but It would greatly help my TC move along.

Eko Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well after taking Mad's advice and getting Gmax and downloading Mask's tutoirals on models i'm starting to try and make my first. Although I first have to figure out how to use Gmax I've looked at the untaken models you need and decided that they are probably too hard for a beginner, I assume that starfighters are the easiest so if I work out how its all done I could try and do the droid starfighters if you need them?

Mad78 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 If you want, Eko, I could give you a few tricks to use Gmax http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 That'd be great thanks. Just post them here so I can work through them. Am I correct in assuming that star fighters are easiset? I've just remembered i've got a signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well it depends which starfighter and what level of detail you want for it.If you have any perticular question you can always contact me on msn http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The idea was to start (as a beginner) with the Droid star fighter as it is not that compicated a shape. Two 'fins' attacked to the central body with its 'head'. It seems a fair starting challenge. It is not really particular questions I have it is more the fact that I am completely new to digital imaging. It is always a skill I have wanted to learn but i've never really taken a single step towards it till now. So really any advice you could give, either posted as a walkthrough here or an external URL that you cold recommened to help me learn would be good thanks. Just some step by step to help me learn. Even something to teach me the basic skils of imaging as I have no previous experience would be good! I've just remembered i've got a signature!

Mad78 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I shall start work on the Venator in my spare time. Eko, try downloading this tutorial. It helped me a bit. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Thanks Mad, i've just started them, they seem from a glance to be great so thanks very much. I've just remembered i've got a signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Olorin Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the republic troop ship the acclamator assualt shuttle?or the same one as from basic rebellion with more guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I think he meant this one http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Right then, i'm busily getting on with the tutrorials Mad showed me. They're great thanks Now i've had a look at the ships you've (adthrawn) mentioned and they all seem quite hard. Can't find any reference to the Alligance, but as a star destroyer it shouldn't be too hard to do. A few pics as a reference are needed though. If you have any others i'll look them over and give them my best shot I've just remembered i've got a signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mask Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hmm, this carrier looks like the Y4-Raptor with the engines of the Radiant VII But then again, where better for LA to steal ideas from then from themselves ? http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Olorin Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 best way to see what that thig looks like is to hire or load up epi 1 and watch the start a couple dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adthrawn Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 The allegiance is a fan made file. I have the 3d file but its a .max file. All my 3d programs only use .3ds files. You know what, I'll post the max file. I'll have it up today. "Someday, somebody will best me.

Mad78 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Eko, have you tried Blender (its a 3d program)? http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Once on another person's PC, took a look at the baffling interface and gave up almost immediatley. I've just downloaded it and i'll give it a go. As I said before im a complete digital imaging Noob so we'll have to see how it goes. This time i've found the tutorials myself Is it any good? What addition functions/perks does it have? Oh and this is my attempt at one of the tutorials http://img160.echo.cx/img160/1373/maceinproghost5rp.th.jpg I've just remembered i've got a signature!

Mad78 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice start Eko Blender is a rather complete 3d program which is free and capabe of rendering (A thing that sadly gmax cannot).I tried it, but, frankly once you have tried 3ds max you are hooked! i have been using it ever since i tried it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eko Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Cheers Mad, i've looked at purchasing 3dsmax but a over £2000? Thats a bit steep, did you purchase it or get it on your company (don't know what you do but you might have balgged it somehow) or by some other unmentionable means? Also if I construct the model in gmax, can I then export it to Blender to render? (rhymes!) Or would it be worth more to just learn blender in the first place and forget gmax? adthrawn, i'll get to work on the Acclamator once I think my slowly increasing skills are up to it I've just remembered i've got a signature!

adthrawn Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 someone gives me their email I can give them the max6 file for the Legacy Star Destroyer. "Someday, somebody will best me.

the_mask Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Eko, there are also student versions for max out there, that only cost ~150 Euros, the last time I checked. After TK told me, that Max6 was pretty unstable I saved my money and continued with my old trusty version 5, though http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
