i can export to maya ,but it might not export the animation without a ful exporter ,or you could write a script to import it into maya.but like i said the most effective way to do it is to composite it all together.

Happy new year everyone!!!
i hope that we can get working on alienz again this year, seems a shame to let all the hard work go to waste.
Kirt, let me know if there is anything i can do to help.

Have this project come to an end? This has been very educational for me although I’m just a graphics programmer. I don’t have the talent you guys have. It is a shame to see it not completed. :sad:

Kirt where are you? It can be a good thing to have a schedule or a template for the way the production should go…So we will have some directions!
Need your input! Like I said in the Alien 2 post. I still on for the music and the vocals. PM me if you like. I eager to talk to you about that!:bounce:

Hey guys,
I think Kirt’s taken time out to bring up his baby, but i’m sure the project is still on, its just been put on hold for a bit.
Cheers, Phil

hey guys, i just started browsing the collaborative projects section the other day and came across this project. if you guys need/want any help, i’ll give what time i have. pretty busy with work but i could probably get a decent model out each week. i’m probably best at modeling (since thats what i do at work all day) but could try my hand at animation as well. i use maya 5 and max 5/6. i have maya 4.5 but have long since uninstalled it. i’m up for just about anything actually. i can do dynamics, texturing, modeling, animation and i could try my hand at rigging. but modeling is probably my strongest point followed by animation. even if ya just need me to help with rendering, lemme know 
most of my stuff tends to be on the realistic side so this could be good practice for me as well.

Hello there, thank you for your precious offer to help this, we all are waiting for more ‘what to do’ stuff from boss ‘Kirt Stanke’ haha
He is always busy doing ‘Non Alienz related stuff’

Are all the characters rigged for animation already? Someone could be doing that while you’re waiting on me. Looks like I won’t be picking up a copy of Maya anytime soon. Just spent my savings building a new computer (old one was 600Mhz :argh: ). So, I won’t be able to help with the 3D stuff for awhile.
I’ll be concentrating on just the 2D work and direction of course. Just need to organize my time better so I can get back to this project. IT IS NOT DEAD … just on a little hiatus.
I told Ila another month or two … hopefully it won’t be much longer.

I’m afraid some meshes are not even finished yet! 
Anyway, I’m going to pick everything available and transform them to OBJ format. after the trip (that I’m in!)

Hiya all Great project you’re doing… i’d love to help but I can’t do anything 3d at a professional level, yet…
Think i might tag along anyway, maybe use some of this stuff to try and teach myself modeling. Gogo moral support! If you ever need 2d still stuff like image processing for a website or whatever… i can help w/ that.
props to everyone, i’m cheerin for ya :bounce:

I’ve had a look through most of the threads, and I’m wondering how you’re all set for webspace? I run a webhost that’s online 24/7. I can provide webspace on a pretty-much-no-bandwidth-limit.
Lemme know.

No posts on here for quite awhile. I’d like to know whats going on, sounds like a cool project but all the links to concept art and screenies are now broken. I’d like to get involved if this thing ever gets kickstarted again. I’m an intermediate/newb Max user but there are many elements of this project that I’m sure I could be of some use.

Officially, I asked Leo to archive this forum. It’s taking up space on CGTalk and I just don’t have the time to give to this project at the moment (if ever). Having an open and specific forum for my project was nice but I feel that it’s greatly unfair for the other people who are also trying to do collaboration projects here.
So, I’m officially killing the project … until further notice. Sorry. 
I would like to say however, that everyone who worked with me on this is owed my greatest level of respect and appreciation. I feel horrible that the project is come to this and really wish things could be different.
Hopefully, noone will harbor any ill will against me for this … I really want to see a Collab project start, go strong and be completed. I just don’t see that it’s going to be this particular one.
Maybe, it was too great of a project for a first time effort. Maybe it’ll be back in the collab forum later (after a lot of things are done on my end - storyboards, concepts, layouts, color studies, etc.). Or maybe I’ll have something new and ‘simplified’ to offer later. I don’t know.
Best I can offer at this point is my thanks to all who supported the project when it was active, my apologies for ending it all and my sincerest hope that something may yet come from this at a future date.
Expect this sub-forum to dissappear anytime now …

Anyway, I knew this would happen sooner or later. [sigh] It was so much fun, so much learn, so many friends. this project made my short started and etc. thank you Kirt, for all things.
(and I have a little bastard alien in my pocket too!)
ah, btw, when is the funeral?!

Its a shame we never got around to finishing it, I had a great time making my alien and would’ve loved to see a finished short, but i personally know how difficult it is to keep running on something when there are so many other things going on in life.
Its been a pleasure and best of luck.
Cheers, Phil.
