Shirow Project Book#3 Side-Mission


#301

jayreef - the textures are a nice added touch. Whats the blue things in the background on the first first cuple of frames. They looked familar but I just can’t place them. Could be the lack of sleep last night.

colkai - that building is awesome. I love the roof detail work! Especially the geodesic dome. Thats seriously sweet!


#302

totally agree, nice building:thumbsup:

the background was “borrowed” :rolleyes:

from snippets of this

, did not think they would mind to much as i was only doing it to cheer myself up on a valentines night, with my wife being away:)


#303

Heh,
Actually, I’ve just realised a big flaw in the roof detail.
Those pipes would collapse as they don’t have any supports, especially the long ones!. :wink:

Mind you, a couple of strategically placed boxes should sort it out… Updated the FTP file accordingly.


#304

Revised with supports, not sure about the texture of 'em but that’s all open to change anways :slight_smile:

Hey guys…missed all of you!.. I wanted to send this out once I got home late yesterday, but I was just tooooooo wasted from the trip back. So anyway time to get “Back In The Saddle Again”
Replies in order>

Aurora- Thanks for keeping the team motivated and SORRY for the pain you have been going through to add the train vibration :-). On my way back I found something that may help in future…I’ll email it to you in a sec or 2.

Jayreef- You did a great job on the Guges. Thanks for the hard work!:thumbsup: He may see some ani action if we can fit it in.

Mmhnemo- Sorry to hear you lost a family member. Glad we cheered you up a bit when you saw what has been going on here lately. :slight_smile:
As far as what else needs doing…We won’t need it right away, but it would be nice to add some interior shot for the dropship cockpit. That would mean we need seats/controls etc. I’ll try and find some refs for these items. Thanks for hanging in with us!

Colkai- WOW…I love it when you guys unexpectedly drop a cool item like this on the team. Your building is one of those nice surprises! Thanks it looks great!

Team- So, where from here? Aurora’s rundown pretty well explains things so scroll back if you missed it. I still hope to have one or two surprises for you in the animations…I know everyone is going to be anxious about seeing the final version, Thanks for your support and encouragement to keep going.

While the ani. is being completed, I would also like to do at least one panel to honor the guys who have been working on the mission#2 items. It will be a busy period over the next while, but it’s exciting to see all these things coming together.

It’s also GREAT to have you all on the team and see everyone working together so well. That in itself is outstanding…Keep up the SUPER TEAMWORK!

Softdistortion looking awesome:bounce:

any elements missing to be done…

let me know:thumbsup:


#309

jayreef- Well, to be honest, yeah a few elements, but if I told you it would wreck part of the surprise. :slight_smile:

If you guys have the desire to keep going…I could post Mission#3? :eek:

mmhnemo- Here’s the cockpit ref…I know they aren’t super, but maybe you can adlib the rest.


#310

well i hate to ruin a good surprise, will be here everyday watching the progression, until mission 3 is launched, then active again:bounce:

until then, I make cheese:thumbsup:

looking forward to the next mission guys, and dont give my seat to anyone:)


#311

so, don’t be a stranger…:thumbsup:


#312

I wont, but is everyone busy doing animations:bounce:


#313

Not me,
Hoping to do a few more cars over the next week or two but I’m going through a tutorial at the same time as I want to get a better grip on a couple of things. Also probably do some bits and bobs as well.

Plus some private work I have to do…not to mention the cr*ppy day job :frowning:


#314

Hi folks
I am new to this forum and new 3d modeling.
Right now I am working with mmhnemo (a friend of mine)
on the cockpit from the appleseed sketch.

Here is my first model.


#315

Thanks guys…we will be busy for a while on the animation… Stuff keeps getting added:surprised …we’ll try to have something for you to look at hopefully this week.:thumbsup:


#316

Oh man - you guys can’t believe what we are doing to the first train clip. Sorry for the delay in getting something out to you all. But I think you’ll see its worth the wait. SD is just full of fantastic ideas!! As a result there is also going to be a further delay geting the high-res tut out and the other new tut I’m trowing out. SD gave me a really hot new plugin and it works so much better. I’ll be making the tut using that. But do to health issues and the desire to work on the animation I’m pushing that stuff off for now.
Good stuff, nahh GREAT stuff coming. Hang in their guys we are trying to make all of this effort worth your while and we will soon have plenty of more work for everybody!!


#317

Im not sure what stage you guys are in but I have some free time to help if needed. Let me know. I’ll do what I can. So far looks like you guys have everything under control. I cant wait to see your final.


#318

Aurora will likely make this model more detailed, but here’s a hint of what is coming up.


#319

excited:bounce:


#320

Akirafr- Thanks for the help! Really want to see the progress you and mmhnemo are making…but, can you check the image you posted…It doesn’t seem to be loading. Sorry

sllink- Can’t think of anything more right now since we have some guys working on the dropship cockpit.
PM me some info on your skill and what software you are using and I’ll see what we can send your way:thumbsup:

jayreef- :wink:
