==UNIT INFORMATION==
Pending.
Loger, as I said, squid-like aliens are my prime candidate. In fact, unless a better alternative is presented, I'll probably start working on the model by the end of the week. It's a high-quality character model so I'll need to spend quite some time on it.
Makbar, all three are good places to start, though most beginners pick 3DMax, perhaps because of its price (I believe its the cheapest of the three), perhaps because it is relatively easy to understand. Personally, I would go with XSI. The user interface and controls are much more fluid and its packed with nifty little time-savers, and it has a broader support for animation. Though I can't be sure the new versions of 3DMax aren't the same - last version I worked with was 6 I think. Or was it 4...
There is a free XSI awaialble at the its site dont know if it has less features coz iv not seen the paid version...
Hey wat bout a transparent squid with a big brain... a little shiny and a little transparent skin wud look cool...
I'm currently using XSI mod tool 6..downloaded from the main site and personnaly...I don't see any problems with it! Like ManShOOter said, it's fluid, quite simple (though it has a HUGE learning curve) and produces high quality models!
I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to start in the modding! But then again...knowing I started using it extensively 3 days ago...who am I to give advice
what about a giant nautalus??
like somthing like this(i didnt draw this sorry kinda lost my notetebook
sorry for all these posts but i would like to contribute a story to this creature( the one i didn't draw) anyway, so the way they move about the ships is that they have suckers and a ton(like 90 or somthing) teticles, and thet they grab on the the side of the walls and pull to propel themselves forward. their large shell contains a large brain and they can communicate through clicks and warbles sent thrugh the water. they have spider like mandibles under the head, which has extremely efficient eyes. they also have a small capability to use telepethy to paralyze and confuse prey. once again manshooter, this is not my drawing, so you dont have to give me credit to use it, but if you use the description here i wouldnt mind some credit, its just not required
Looking Good. Your a true artist Manshooter. I think all the weirdo's got a sex toy from the "D" rather than Drone. Please, dont kill puppies. Don't kill cats. Save it for the Xin.
Justo for your struggle agaisnt dog slaughter! I hereby give +1 karma to FearlessDefiance
wow wow wow, i was the one who originally opposed to it
What about +1 karma for the awesome idea? I mean, if it wasn't for me wanting to kill some puppies to get my hand on this mod then you couldn't give FearlessDefiance karma for opposing my evil idea?
Fine both Gamer and SpardaSon will get +1 Karma!
Gamer for being opposed to dog slaughter!
and +1 for SpardaSon for his extremely sadistic ideas towards our beloved four legged friends
I never get a karma
Anyway i still think the Xin shud me smaller in size... like a 7 foot long squid... blueish in colour, big creatures r known for their brains.. and the xin i guess r supposed to b smart beings tht create super ships they dont rely on their ground strength....
Hey i was wonderin bout the defences of the remnants?? r they goin to b low on armour like their ships?? and wat bout the speed of the their ships?? triple tht of the Xin?? and double than normal factions??
here is a bit of karma for ShadowMastiff2468.. for being generous
And a bit for Makbar59 for his generosity!
*and the loop turns..and turns...and turns!
LOL
Thanks a lot!
Considering Xin ships are filled with water (awesome idea!) When they explode are you going to have crystallized water in the explosion?
Well, the heat of the splosion would vaporise much water but the water would still be there, its not just going to disappear. The extreme coldness of space would certainly freeze the vapor and thus ICE CRYSTALS!
Also for Xin may i suggest..........
ADMIRAL ACKBAR!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Xsi Mod tool is great for beginners, because its free and also because it has all the features you need at first. After all, its not like you're goint to be messing around with animation, compositing and GI renders...
Gamerking, I don't really like the Nautilus concept (I know you didn't draw it, just saying)... the shell makes it look too much like a snail, despite the tentacles. A squid is still at the top of the list as it combines the alien look with a predatory feel. But I'm still open to suggestions!
Admiral_Kiernyc, Xin explosions are going to be different, yes. I don't know if there is going to be any crystallized water in them as the ships explode in a superheated ball of blue-hot plasma, so I assume any water in it would be instantly evaporated. The current drone explosion has sort of very complex light glowing threads expanding and fading rapidly in the aftermath of the initial blast. Though I expect I'll make it look much better for release. If you like my Volumetric Explosions mini-mod, you shouldn't be dissapointed.
Therefore...ADMIRAL ACKBAR (see above!)
Well... how do i download this mod??? is it copatible with 1.3?
akbar is good but this is better
lol +1 for that!!
Lol since when were they supposed to breath FIYAH?
