Aegis:2375 - A Collaborative Science Fiction Project

#1101

A very, very, very, very early version of the female battle suit. :slight_smile: Just to show you guys what my progress is:

Just blocked in some basic shapes. I am building it around one of my old female characters:


Though i removed the tentacles…and stuff… :slight_smile: I might dig up my old female face too, it was pretty good i remember, i carved some holes in her face and chest in this version…Must have been in a bit of a sadistic mode or something:) nehh, they are the way she breath, hehe…Anyway, i never finished her. I might in the future…

#1102

Hey victor…nice start…looking forward to more. :slight_smile:

Here is another version of the scene…

#1103

Thanks Mark,

I will work some more on it tonight. Create the basic plating on the legs, things like that. But it will probably take me a while to get it to completion. I am hoping to get it to high standard. Its a pretty important object, because we will probably use it in all sort of scenes, in background, forground, and stuff. :slight_smile:

Haha, so you have started combining all the elements from everybodies renders, very cool. :slight_smile:
Maybe its time we start building some pages of story. Just to setup the battle between the ceph, fallen and utaf, what do you think? Oh, and you are also working on a mod, aren’t you, what was its webpage again, i am curious. :slight_smile:

#1104

Hiya Victor,

It would be cool to start some pages… Lets do it.
Yes I am working on a half-life mod for http://flatlinestudios.net/ They are looking for some more artists… a guy from EA games is on the team…very cool
This is the forum link but i am not sure if you have to be a member of the team to look http://flatlinestudios.net/forums/index.php?sid=79b87fd1745d5903540cc4ec06642ab0

and CarWars project has started to pick up…busy busy busy…love it :slight_smile:

cheers

@ Victor: it already starts to take some nice shapes keep it going

@ Mark: nice one as always hehe what can I say else to both of you then great job

University started again for me after months of vacation so I’ve spent my day over there and only had two hours today spent on it today. I Should be able to spent some more on it especially on fridays and the weekend because I dont have any classes those days but even through the week I should be able to spent a couple of hours on it a day

here is what I came up with today:
(sorry for the size hehe just to show some better details I Think I’m having a few scaling problems not sure oh yes and there is no smoothing on it yet it is all in there but didn’t put it on to reduce rendering time)

Nice work Jozef,

I am glad you have some time in the week to work with us. :slight_smile:
I will edit this post in about an hour with an update of the soldier armor model.

EDIT number one

Hey, mark, i was thinking, could you do an overdraw on the spacestation. I think Jozef has blocked in quite a lot already. So there is something to work with for you, maybe an ultra high res greyscale gif??? :slight_smile: Just a thought.

EDIT number two

and here it is, some progress, have worked on it for about an hour, after the last update.

#1107

Look at that Jozef, The station its HUGE!! hehe I will do an overdraw its on my 2do list :thumbsup:

Victor nicely coming along helmet looks cool.

#1108

I am sorry guys, but i have to inform you that i am quiting the project. I have a number of reasons. The biggest one is that i am to busy with school and work and i don’t like to do things when i can’t commit myself to them anymore, and that is what has happened to Aegis.

I had a lot of fun working with all of you, and i have learned a lot about communication, art styles and what not. I hope that i can work on smaller, more managable things with some of you guys in the future, and that we all keep in touch. Aegis is just to big for our team to handle and though it has its promising features, the chances that we will have anything completed in the next year is just not there. So i guess the time has come for me to quit the project.

I hope this is not to much of a bombshell. I will drop in once in a while ( about every day :wink: ) to see how things are and i really hope that things will pick up at some point and to see Aegis broadcasted or in a comicshop. :slight_smile:

Victor

#1109

Hello guys, well Victor’s announcement is most displeasing.
THe bad things is that i am out too. For almost the same reasons,as victor i will quit too plus i personally believe that the asset and project management was not adequate. The whole system was based on anarchy and that is why the timeline cannot be kept.

I really met some AWESOME PEOPLE in here and TALENTED artists! I will keep an eye on the thread ( daily too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

So…catch up with you later…

#1110

uhhh, help?
where’s dene?
what happened?
i’m still here atleast…not that a bunch of planets with nothing in the foreground, makes for a very good project!

mark? jozef? still here? obviously without dene’s input as to whether or not to continue, this puts a bit of a slowdown on the work, but i for one am patient…i like the idea and am still available…

@max and victor, well, you guys are busy, it’s understandable, no hard feelings, and i hope at somepoint things will pick up enough to get your interest again…

where the hell is dene?

#1111

im here Monday!, finally back online, and wanting to continue the project, though we’ll need to restructure given recent developments.

more on this when im not about to go to bed to get up for work in the morning.

#1112

Hiya all,

It is a sad day for Aegis, Victor and Max you will be missed. :sad:

We have done alot of work and not sure where to go with all this…is there any chance of getting Max files of the models made so I may have a look and a play…maybe I can start trying to do some 3D…

Oh well I must go…things to do

Cheers

#1113

I feel like Monday it is a sad you guys left the project :(.

I’m still on it (at least if dene wants me on it hehe didn’t had a chance to talk to you yet)and start to like it more and more.

I’ll try and deliver a next version of the spacestation later today in like two hours or something otherwise this evening

I hope the project is going to continue even without Max and Victor

Hi Mark,

Yeah, i have already given some of the models to Jozef. But yeah, sure you guys will get all the modelling and texturing work i have done so far. ( except for the female armor, that is to crappy to be used :slight_smile: )

Anyway, that won’t be a problem at all. Dene and i have agreed that we can both use the stuff, me for renders on my personal site to show what i have modelled and concepted. And you guys can just use any of the stuff to continue working as long as all the credits are alright. At least that was the plan. So i will go through the stuff i did and start collecting the latest versions and clean them up for usage.

But i know you guys will find a way to make this work. Just hold a meeting or something and discuss it realtime between eachother. I am sure you guys can come up with a plan that works, or stick to the same plan. I am also sure Dene has a lot to discuss about the project, because he has been away for 3 months. So he might provide you guys with some new input and new motivation for the project.

#1115

Keep in touch my friend and I hope we can work together again down the track :thumbsup:

#1116

Always a bit sad to have key people leave. DogmaD and MaxFx will be missed by us viewers too!..you guys did some beautiful work…I especially love Dogma’s stuff :buttrock:

#1117

Hello ppl, good to see that you guys are willing to continue the projet. I am wishing the best of luck to you from the deeps of my heart! :slight_smile:

Concerning the models, i am willing to give you mark my Moonbase model ( 1.5M polys ) and the full city diagram for future addons and stuff. I can of course provide you earth
and a 30% of the APC vehicle modelled.

I do wish to see aegis finished though, so as i mentioned before should any of you need any help dont hesitate to ask. Website and forum of course will remain online.

I do hope to work with you guys again someday :slight_smile:
C’ya.
Albert

#1118

Thanks MaxFx I am looking forword to having a go at the APC :slight_smile: and the moonbase and city…
Nice update Jozef :thumbsup:
Here is a little image i did today…

#1120

awesome image ralph! I really like it…like a service area…you will find at an airport. I would like it with some more minor add-on around it…like abandoned tools and storage crates…what do you think?
