SarcaStick 11-05-2002, 10:25 PM cool beans.
I have Maya 4.5 sitting here ISOed up, so i'll probably install it tomorrow and check it out.
As far as what I would like to get into, it's definately a diversified atmosphere, but would generally like to deal with small time characters and eventually being able to animate and export them into flash as well as game models.
I pretty much want to learn everything there is to learn as far as I can get without proper schooling at this point.
I thank you for your opinion and I value it as well as any others who would like to jump in on the convo and add some thoughts/input.
xpdnc 11-05-2002, 11:40 PM Sarca, if you make new textures for maps, I'll personally go in and retexture the ground with them, for as many maps as you want redone.
SarcaStick 11-06-2002, 12:17 AM Do you have he exe hack that enables the ground textures to be re-done?
My advice in this case, since you have both programs, is to try them out and see what you like. Both programs are very good programs, now if bryce or milkshape were in your list, I might have tried to steer you away from those, but your programs are both very reputable. Now its just time to see which fits your style the best.
Good luck in 3d.
hmm. maybe i'll hop on the boat.
i actually spent one of my summers working exclusively with graphical design. i'm a bit behind the times (still using 3dsmax R3) but whatever.
so quick question. Do i just get an explorer that will convert my .max file to whatever t1 uses, or do i need to export a bunch of bmps (as for the explosions) or what? someone wanan give me a quick tutorial?
Export bitmaps. Resize and delete frames until it is the correct length. Then use PSP to convert the bitmaps to the correct pallates. Last, compile with you're favorite compiling program.
DMAUL 11-06-2002, 06:32 PM I have someone "buying" it and I might have a "demo feature extender" available soon. If you catch my drift ;)

the only good explosion you have is that sideways one, which honestly doesnt look all that great in game.....
I'm sorry you don't like it.
DMAUL 11-08-2002, 09:14 AM For the connected people, you can "buy" it as "ILLUSION.VERSION.2.04-ASGAARD". And yes, its the same program.

Pachacutec: I happen to like that explosion as well, and will most likely be making some similar ones in the future. I'll start with grenade launcher.
suweet! thanks dude, (didn't see this before i started the other thread)
I am sorry Pachacutec... but I am afraid I will be taking a break for a while from skinning for tribes. It seems that apart from you.. and maybe a few others who I don't hear from, my work isn't needed or appreciated here. It seems from Sarcas comment in the other thread that the tools, and not the artist, are responsible for the work that I come up with. now that the "KIT" used to do everything I can do easily is accessable to all. The community will not be requiring that I continue making explosions. I may do a few more some other time... but for now, good luck to everyone.

Who cares what other people think. Keep on doing what you're doing because you like to do it. I love your explosions and use both of them. I dont care what you used to make them.
SarcaStick 11-10-2002, 03:29 AM hrmmm, so you're trying to say that because of ME you are no longer going to make explosions?
don't try and lay no guilt trips on me. blame yourself for giving up.
p-illusion in fact, speaking for myself once again, as I've already stated, IS indeed extremely easy to use.
If void feels that he no longer wants to skin, let him say so, but without blame.
Now that you guys have an app at hand, that can give you excellent effects, maybe someone else can step up and fill the void. (haha i bring teh funney).
ok, so anywho...don't blame me for your lack of skinning.
Lol Sarca. I am not giving up because of you.
I mean.. your oppinion matters I suppose but not THAT much.
I was making a remark about your apparant belief that the program makes the material. Ive seen both sides of what particle illusion can do... and let me tell you, its not a magic perfect explosion making button. Just like any other program, it takes a user to create.
Particle illusion is easy to use. Why would I be using it instead of MAYA if it weren't? but from MY experience I can say that there is a fair difference between a good Particle Illusion explosion, and a poor one.
I have already made all the explosions I want. The rest were intended for the community. And the feedback is my reward. I like doing this, but am tired for the time being.
Anyhow I will not be quitting at all, I am taking a break for a while. Thank you for your words of encouragement wrEk, I will most likely be back sometime. I just dont want anyone wondering where I am if I dont show myself for a while.
See you.
