Your new here... so you might not know Who.

Though you might know hem from some other Forum... but then you wouln't take his side.

[Who]

You should stop being so bitter, Crylar. I've noticed that your latest posts have been very biased, and it would be in all of our best interested if you were to act in a more humane fashion.

[Ac1]

Your Beautiful One-liners who...  :wink:

[Crylar]

Maybe, but being in a bad mood, writing stuff can make you feel better.

[Who]

Maybe you should write somewhere else if you can't keep it peaceful like the rest of us do!

[Crylar]

I still mean what I say ya!

[OverFlow]

anyways....

I rigged up the (alien) soldier, and animated it... and skinned it.  So, its in-game now, but I think someone needs to re-skin it because I suuuuuck.

Moving on, I also rigged the chimera.  Rigging is fun in that you can easily make your characters do funny things, so thats what I usually do first...




click animation for more fun ^_^  (latest divx codec required)

You're too harsh on yourself for the soldier skin overflow, i thought it was pretty good.

[Crylar]

Thats pretty cool, I really like the pose.

[Godmil]

YAY, scary as hell

[OverFlow]

wooooo!  I got a nice little 15" lcd monitor, so now I'm dual heading.


bwahahaha!

[Crylar]

You got five q3 icons on you desktop !

[Kinnadian]

if that other monitor is 19 inch, I think I got the same    xcept mines a piece of crap  :evil: ...at least it matches my obsolete P1 computer :-?

[dolby]

omg i think i see a natural selection one too!!!!@#!@#!

[OverFlow]

Don't even have half-life installed

Yes the other is a 19" running at 1600x1200@70Hz  \o/

yeah, five icons.  I have q3 and Trem each installed twice, as well as another icon that directly starts up a map with cheats on, etc. so I can test stuff out.  One install has all the stuff I'm working on, the other is a 'clean' install so when playing Trem on-line so I don't get troubles with the server

[Godmil]

Gawd, I couldn't do 2 monitors... having that much space on the desktops for me to fill up with crap would be bad  

(but I've only got 3 q3 icons  :cry: )

[Excalibur]

i dont think i would want to get 2 moniters i would just buy like a 21" flatscreen one.

(i got 2 q3 icons but now that gloom is not gonna be on q3 i think i can get rid of one unless i like tremulous enough to try and make maps for that.

[OverFlow]

21" = 196 in^2
15" + 19" = 260.4 in^2
(more than 1.5x physical area)

plus you probably wouldn't run the 21" above 1600x1200 = 1920000 px (edit: I have yet to see one that can go over 1600x1200)
where as I'm at 1600x1200 + 1024x768 = 2706432 px
(almost 1.5x more pixels)

cost of 21" lcd screen: at least $1200 (plus crappy responce times due to size)
cost of 19" crt + 15" lcd: $600


plus having two monitors just looks cooler... but thats just my opinion

[OverFlow]

Well, I sat down and started working on the last of the alien models named the hydra for now.  I kinda added some interesting features, as well as a good helping of tris cause the others said some of my models were too low-poly.  So, here it is in DivX format:
<video removed>

796 faces
412 verts

Just sent to to MoP for rigging.. Once he's done with that, I'll animate while he skinmaps and skins \o/

um, yeah, I guess thats it

[dolby]

faptastic dude            

[Crylar]

The hydra looks awesome, no jaw is cool!

[Ac1]

Must....Get....new....ART!!  

[Crylar]

[OverFlow]

anyways....
I've been busy animating aliens.  For those of you not testing, I finished up the hydra animations and they're in-game needing only a skin from MoP to be complete.

Also, I've almost animated all of the chimera today.  (I think just a death animation left)  

So the taunt animation is alwas the most fun.  So here it is... still WIP, but probaly wont change much.
<video removed>

um, I guess thats it for now... These animations take a while for me, sorry about the lack of updates

[Godmil]

I love all the chimera anims... visually he has to be my fav class now
(behind the granger of course )

[OverFlow]

my fav has to be the hydra.  But I'm probably a bit bias because the chimera has been giving me some problems

speaking of which... I had a little fun for a small animation challege at one of them cg forums....

<video removed>

[Godmil]

I love that anim

wait, that the hydra? oh, I thought that was also the chimera  
oh I dunno, they're all my fav now

[Crylar]

That's really nice animated, very nice indeed.
