Do not know why, but i actually liked this "Life" episode. I suspect the lesbian stuff might be the reason [e digicons]:D[/e] . Seriously it wasn´t that bad, i would say it was better than the previous one on the planet, even if it was less sci-fi. For a moment it seemed quite eventful - Young was going to beat Telford, Eli found out Rush´s lie about the planet and i was really thinking that the bald soldier was finally going nuts and kill anybody...

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="1846" id="2449368"]You think the edselprise is better looking than the 1701-A?! HERETIC! (whips out his bolter, and screams For the Emperor!!...Umm..Err.. wrong genre). The JJprise is a monstrosity. I expected it not to be "exactly" like the original, but how far they deviated from it is beyond all reason. The only part of the ship they got right was the saucer. The rest is a mash of the TMP refit, and some alien ship of the week. With faint n
Dreamcast...Starlancer....I´m sorry, are you from the past? [e digicons]:D[/e] Just joking, no offence please. Is it about Soviets vs USA in space? I did not play this one, but i remember reading quite positive reviews about it at the time when it was new. I played Freelancer though.
I am talking about the new sci-fi show, which started to run recently... similarly to BSG it wants to reimagined version of the original show from 80´s, at least i read something like that. So have you seen it? Have you seen the original? What do you think about it?
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="178" id="2439243"]well, first i wanted to know whether SGU was as awful as SG1, but that's problematic because it seems none of the SG fans like it, so that could mean anything. secondly, a number of ludicrous comments were made about shows like B5 or BSG and i felt the need to correct such errors. im as free to post what i loathe about crappy scifi as you guys are to post what you love about it.[/quote] I think you should defin
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="160" id="2437995"] well, thank fuck nobody paid attention to what the original fans wanted, because the original was shit and the new BSG has set the new standard in scifi television. the reason people watched it was because it was awesome, not because there was an emphasis on "soap opera style drama". these shows have a genre you know, they're called space operas, and they allow for far more depth in story telling than SG-1, the epitome of medio
I do not think you can simply mark one RTS as the best one ever.... Homeworld was for example perhaps the best single-player RTS, but its multiplayer was lacking, other games were just better multiplayer-wise, but not as immersive or innovative. CoH, DoW, Sins, C&C´s, Starcraft, Warcraft, AoE, Conquest FW, Earth 21x0, Sup Com. etc...are all great games as well. I can recommend to anyone one old not so famous game though. It is called Star Command Revolution,

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="140" id="2432548"] Quoting TheRezonator, reply 139 Babylon 5 was Star Trek with more fighting. dont remember it being funny or all that popular... didnt you just criticise someone for not watching properly and then commenting? no scifi fan who had actually watched a decent amount of the show would make this incorrect comparison. star trek? lol. it was certainly funny in parts here or there, and what does its popularity have to do with anythi
[quote who="Cadalancea" reply="118" id="2429710"]As a huge stargate fan who loved SG-1 and Atlantis and Ark of Truth (Not Continuum, they killed Ba'al! Gaaaaay), I'm hugely dissapointed by SGU. One reason: Yawn fest. Seriously. There's no action. Or intensity. Or drama. They're like: We're gonna fly into the sun. Shucks. Now let's all look at what assholes some people are, and watch others mope around for a half hour. Oh look, no fly into sun! Hoo-ray. Now we do a BSG shot of the sh
As things stand now, i am pretty dissapointed about the SGU.... i do not mind more "serious" and dark atmosphere of the show, but until now the episodes were quite boring, predictable and uninispiring. 5 episodes and almost nothing happened, they just keep flying god knows where. Next episode is called "Water", just let me guess, what will be going on this time... I appreciate their ambition to change things and not to do "SG1 3.0", but after these 5 episodes i think they should proba
[quote who="Zvezdochets" reply="481" id="2419659"]If you made "Sentri" fighter it be magnificent! I respect your decision about "Primus", but small "Sentri" fighter made more faster then very big capship. Or "Rutharian" fighter. P.S: your "Vorchan" very nice! When i saw her i try work better.[/quote] Thank you, but you made lot of stuff for this mod and i did only one model, so if anyone should try harder, it is me [e digicons]:)[/e] Yes, i was
Wow guys you are building those models like on the assembly line [e digicons]:D[/e] i spent working on the vorchan almost week, but you are posting pics of new models everyday... anyway, awesome work! I am thinking about building another ship, probably centauri Primus.... however now i am building some architecture with 3dsmax at work, so i really do not feel like modeling, when i come home hehe... but i promise i will try something, if i manage to motivate myself
@ Fuzzy Logic> Sorry if this was already suggested, i did not read whole thread, but if i were on your place, i would dump those 2 4890s and go with one 5870. It might be not faster than two cards in crossfire, but the difference is surely not big enough and i believe one 5870 is lot cheaper, not to mention far better power consumption. EDIT> Just looking at the original post´s date, my advice is probably pointless now [e digicons]:)[/e] . Nevermind.

I wonder how Fileosoft created the central curvaceous part with ribs (sofar without them), i tried it before myself and failed [e digicons]:D[/e] Anyway it is really not easy model to build so kudos to Fileosoft.
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="342" id="2402746"]Wonderful work! Could you send me the model in obj to check it for anything that should/could e done? About the lightning, I will take care of that when I put the your model ingame through the path cin4d->xsi->mesh! Do not give me a 3DS please, as cin4D importer of 3ds is somewhat lacking.[/quote] If there is a possibility to export from Max into OBJ format, i will indeed do it. You will have
Thank you all for words of praise, i´m really happy you like my work. So i almost ready with this, maybe i will do some more changes regarding UV mapping. Ingame the model works like charm, only weird thing is the lightning /glossiness. As you can see on the screenshots below the horizontal respectively vertical parts parts of the model are "lighter" then the remaining part of the model. I suppose it is because i didnt set the specular or lightning channel of the DATA texture ri
@ Thoumsin and TobiWahn: thanks for the answer One more question: What size should i use for the texture? Yesterday i started to work on something, and i chose 1024*1024 resolution. When i saved it as dds file with mip maps, it was changed to 2048*1024...should i rescale it to half size?
@ Tobi Wahn: I am trying to create the texture, and i have found fine tutorial, which says: Data map : This is ARGB. Each channel controls a different effect. Altogether, they don't look like anything, but it's a convenient way to let the engine know what parts of the skin to apply post-processing to. The "channel" colors have nothing to do with red green or blue, they're just ways to separate each effect.<br
So i managed to import my model into game via Stannum´s 3dsmax importer tool and i think it works flawlessly...it needs proper texture, i used the Kol Battleships dafault one without setting any UV coordinates.
@Fileosoft/Thoumsin So i did little research and now i am completely clear how it works...your way. In 3ds max it is called RENDER UVW TEMPLATE, i was unaware of this, because i do mostly architecture, so i never needed to create texture myself. For me the setup was assigning readymade texture to object and UV map coordinates. Your way is actually equally painful, the only difference it is done before, not after texturing. With the model complicated like this, Unwrapping it will be no
