Yup

Wow I think the shot with the thumb is good, gives great scale! I still can't fathom how small that guy is!

Haha, congrats Rob. There's nothing like getting a day off work

I've gotten to the point where I prefer to use poly modelling with NURMS meshsmoothing. When it comes to higher detail and higher poly models - it's more effective, but requires a lot of planning and fiddiling to get it to work.

The two Sith marched through the inside of the base. Both in their cloaks, with hoods drawn covering their faces. “Now Klugheit . .â€

OOC: Thanks Tex @Mitth: Take your time, we're in no hurry

If memory serves me right, hold the alt key and double click on the unit. That should centre on it, and zoom in. At the very least it centres it on an individual unit, and then you should be able to zoom in manually at least.

OOC: Ok, I'll dig up my already written post and throw it in here. The end is open .. so yeah, I'll play by ear but use it to keep the thread alive

OOC: Bah, you're not meant to post so soon Now I've got to start thinking of another post Come on people! Join up! Easy RP, just jump in and DO SOMETHING! You needn't interact with other RPers, just come in and post. Be part of the doom and gloom that is the Yuuzhan Vong invasion! Just sign on the dotted line: ............. Come on, you now you want to (Where's that pic of Vader and the sign saying: Join the Darkside, we've got cookies) @Tofu ... as if there's someone else: Bah, keep things interesting, new characters, places, people and secrets etc.

Put me down on that list too! Sorry Bud, but that's as bad as trying to sue someone with the same name. To hi jack this thread a bit, the first time it came to my realisation how SCREWED up the law can really be was when a robber sued the owner of the house he was attempting to rob because he fell through a skylight and cut himself. And, he won. If memory serves me right, it was because the home owner was in neglect of keeping the house safe blah blah blah. Load of BS in my books.

Oh yes, I remeber that comic - of course, it's funny now with the explanation

Oh, to have just half of Alexander Preuss' talent... I'll take the left arm, you take the right ... Mad, go for the middle .. Tofu, you can have the head

Bit breezy over there J? *refers to J's early post of fantastic GIF goodness*

So, how'd the new words go? Got them through?

Ok, so I saw the second episode of Heroes ... it was a lot better than the first. But, I'm forced to tape each episode now - House is on at the same time, and I'm afraid 'ol Greg has my limited attention spam for that hour segment. Nevertheless, I'll be taping the episodes and watching them later. Seems like it might be a good series

Nice cards. Has anyone tried getting in contact with Evaders about this problem? Otherwise, I'd suggest a polite PM to him asking if he a) knows about the problem and b) can he fix it.

I'll second that And now, the news: You mean jumping up and down doesn't work? Umm, you know what? I think the dog would do it again ... Lame but ... yeah, nothing else Actually kinda cool - especially some of the later pages, read the descriptions about this Russian Embassy.

OOC: Meh, I've got my next post ready somewhere. As for stowing away again - I was kinda waiting to see what you had in mind for the stow away thing. I hide on GMC's ship, but for what purpose? Where would that head? What about cheese? Why can't I have cheeese?!

Just you it would seem. What browser are you using?

Slowly, peacefully the green orb drifted through the heavens. Gracefully the planet orbited its sun. Day in, day out. For the planet there was nothing else, a simple existence in the galaxy. Another large mass to house life, sentient beings and the wonders that allowed creatures to pass straight into the heavens and move on to other great worlds. It makes one wonder. What would this planet think? If it had a conscience, would it be in awe of what had become of the galaxy? Would it look at the small beings that mastered metal and electrons that learnt to fly? Would it be thankful for the beauty that so many worked to preserve, to enhance, to experience. No. Not this planet. For this planet had a name, and it's name is Selvaris. And while, like all other planets it did not have a mind of its own, it would not be in awe. It would, in fact be saddened. Saddened by the fighting, by the war and by the constant death. For if planets basket in the beauty of the heaven in which they lived, they could only weep at the horrors that drifted through the vastness of space. And that horror was the Yuuzhan Vong. And this war torn species had landed on Selvaris, and brought the war to her. Once nothing more than a backwater world, housing tourist resorts and depots, it was now bathed in the blood of hundreds who perished as the Vong landed their troops. Standing for what was right, their own freedom to live cost them that – their lives. And now, draped in armour of white and wrapped in warships of metal, the few stood to protect the many. The daunting task hampered by those who would prefer to bask in money for a short time rather than fight, by those who allied themselves with the Vong, they still fought on. And they would fight until they could no more. Until they were no more. “Not to shabby, if we get off this rock you should publish that,â€

@Mad: I should also point out, that a tablet is best for use when creating more organic - or flowing - textures. When I've made materials/textures for man made objects, a mouse is usually better due to the hard edges it gives with your movement.

OOC: I'll be posting soon. I've been busy lately, and hoping that someone else would join the RP. But, yeah, expect something soon

Textures were done with Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. I can't really think of any suggestions about it I had the concept art in front of me, made things easier. I used that to sample colours and slowly painted up in layers starting with a base colour and then dropping the opacity to 25% and flow to 55% for the brush tool and added darker and lighter shades for lighting.
