mmhnemo- HI! Glad you liked the tut.
I took a quick look at the copbot. Very nice form and optimization! You don’t really want the legs deforming (which they will have to do if they are one piece) cause it will look like a flexi arm. Each part of the legs/arms should be seperate at it’s pivot point. Other than that it’s top drawer A#1!
jayreef- Thanks!
mmhnemo- I uploaded some legs to your FTP… have a look , maybe they can be of some use to you? hope it helps a bit. :shrug:
Here’s one version of the van. I’ve uploaded it to my FTP area in a ZIP format. It uses the same maps as the previous vans to keep things tidy.
Colkai- Again, I like the fin toooo! Looks very nice! :applause:
Aurora- I uploaded the train model for you. If you wanna see if you can get it animated the path is in the last layer.
will be out of touch for a few days, all macs at work have picked up some virus called “mydoom”, so i am spending the weekend checking my home rig, it may take some time, there are one or two hard drives to check:thumbsup:
Jayreef- A shot of nyquil will make you feel better! 
Hope you get it under control.
TEAM
couple textures on another of Aurora’s Stupendous buildings.
Heyas,
cool buildings!
The vans are coming along nicely too :applause:
Thanks for your feedback softdistrortion - its really appreciated.
I incorporated your suggestions and upped a second version of mr. copbot. I hope its legs should be properly animatable now and i like the look of this versions legs alot more too ,)
:wavey:
mmhnemo Brilliant job! I’ll try to take a look today:thumbsup:
TEAM- I MUST to tell you all again what a sensational job you are all doing. The work looks astounding…You can take some pride and satisfaction in knowing that We ARE building recognition around the community, and have already had some offers showing interest in our team!
Thanks and keep with us. Who knows where this could wind up going :buttrock:
[Here’s a small QT clip of building#10](http://softdistortion.com/shirowprojectpublic/mission1animodels/building 10.mov)
awesome, then again i am sure the project leaders faith and awesome site and all the work he does, helps too:thumbsup:
any idea how busy with polygons smokes meta was, and what app he favoured, really interested to find out:bounce:
Sorry for the absence and delay in getting the first couple building tutorials up. The lure of fresh powder was totally overpowering!
Anyways I’m back and the first two building modeling tutorials are now available from the Shirow Project Forums! I’ll try and get the third one up Monday or Tuesday. Meaning most likely Tuesday. While it only takes a short while to make the objects, writing the tutorials take me alot longer.
Softdistortion - I have the train and I’ll work on animating it. I should be able to get it done and something rendered tomorrow (Sunday)
By the way, the building models are somewhat crappy. Its the textureing that really make them. GREAT WORK SOFTDISTORTION:applause:
Jayreef-In reply to the first post you made> 
…and > I can’t recall what he was using…did you try contacting him? I can try to see what he’s up to again and whether he will give you a bit of an assist.
To the second> Glad you like the QT!
Aurora- Thanks for adding the tuts to enhance the team’s forum even more…It’s starting to become quite nice in there!
…Just don’t burn yourself out…You might even want to consider spreading the tuts out a little bit more to make them kinda episode like…keep us coming back for the next one??? Just a suggestion… I’ll leave it to you.
Also, Thanks for helping with the train…I’ll try to use the slack you’re giving me on that and make some headway on the dropship and city street scene. I need a good stretch of uninterrupted time to get the buildings textured and set up. Also since they aren’t fitting properly, I need to re model and texture the streets I had previously made up.
As for your other comments> Your buildings are not at all crappy! Without your BRILLIANT models there would be nothing!
TEAM- In all…Looking at the models, renders and animations clips we have already produced, I would say We, as a TEAM, all contributed essential elements to the whole. I also think I can confidently say that the upcoming animations will be pretty SWEET.

its cool, i’m on top off it, … just wondered how high the poly count was, decided which way i am gonna do it, low poly for animation and gaming type thing:thumbsup:
Scene test. > Of course I had to PS it to extreme again! 
Still needs texture work on the ship interior and some of the exterior surfaces too but thought I should let you have a quick look.
Aurora has the train animated (thanks aurora!) and we will try to do a few second cutscene section of the dropship flying in beside the speeding trian…ehhhh…should look OK I guess. :shrug:
Hey SD - did you get the Email I sent you? Where do we want to go with the train animation? I’ll go ahead and zip up what I have and upload it in a few so you can at least take a look at it.
I uploaded a train.rar file that has everything in it. Read the Email I sent you first though. Will do that extra modeling I mentioned either late tonight or first thing in the morning.
Got the email… just read saw it now though…sorry
I replied with a long winded essay just to make up for my late response
I’ll try to still look t the file today!
Thanks for your much needed contribution!
mmhnemo- finally got to the copbot…WOW…WOW…WOW! That Looks Sensational!
Legs will animate now. I’ll just need to divide the fronts as they are still directly part of the body. NP though. Super work!
I’ll try to manage a texture on it in between the animation Aurora and I are doing…cause i would like to see it in action! :drool:
As soon as Smoke and Jayreef work things out on the guges, we will have all the elements needed to do one of the main panels in the Mission#2 render. I will make an effort to do atleast some rough renders of that once the models are in!
Thanks again!
Colkai- haven’t forgotten about you either. The vehicles all look cool, and I’ll be tying them in as soon as I can…
I may have to distress some a bit…hope that’s not gonna “distress” you too> 
I was just thinking how When you first joined the team you were a bit worried about whether you would be able to cut it…The jumps you made during these models really prove you have what it takes. Glad you’re with US! Thanks for your contributions:applause:
Tessalated- still waiting to hear from you mate:)
