Open The Sky Project(Images!)

[Odin]

I think the wings should be concave, not completely straight like that.

[Redsky]

Probably You are right, but it would also mean addnig bout 4 vertex(or more) per membrane and cause more problems when animating and to me it doesnt look that bad=>membrane seems to be stretched

Edit: Made UV-mapping, I think it's better now
have a look at it:


You can also paint if you have blender and know someting about 2D :

(tex. in tga and blend file)
^if you cant download it just PM me, ok?
Enjoy!!!^^

Edit2: I tryed to understand and learn something about IK solvers but just cant manage to do anything... who cares iwill just do animation without this...

[RiffRaff]

why not fletch for FLying drETCH... well ok it's not so good... this alien could be funny, but make it poo as a pigeon and THEN it's reallllly kewl (call it barbs or whatever to be more romantic )

Hey red[sky],  exept flying alien, that i like much
I propose to creaate some spider creature, which would be able to use  net
like a spiderman or cratures in Liero. I hope you already think about it.

Hay olo89! I can see you visited forum at last. Good to hear you like it:)
Bout that spider that was mine idea, wasnt it? :wink:
I wanted not to speak about it until this alien was finished  :roll:
After all not even 50% of this project is done yet... no use of talking about something else while its not ended
PS. noone would like to paint texture? not even for fun???
Edit: Im so happy! Thanks to tehOen i finally managed to test model
but have some problems.
render:
if you know how to help me than do it, please  

[Shadowgandor]

There was one person saying he would like to texture it, look back if you're interested, since i''m to lazy to search for it

[Redsky]

The only problem i got is UV-mapping. As my UV arent that good :-?
Werewulf made it for me(...)
But he was working with 3d Studio and now i cant open his UV :cry: and there is no help about it on internet.(he done some fine work and now its wasted)

im really sorry about this mapping, looks realy good.
Now i did UV mapping-this can be painted by any program for 2D graphic edition and you can check it easly how it look on mesh whan you reload img in blender... i was thinking if werewulf could reuse some of his own mapping for this... he's occupied lately so i dont think he will.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Just wanted to see what all the different pieces of the skin looked like.
Heres mine, I know its pretty piss-poor, but its a start, come on others, dont be shy.

[Shadowgandor]

you missed a piece or 2 ^^

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

I know, I wasnt sure if they were the eyes or shit like that.

It was deliberate.
I swear

[Redsky]

Heres mine, I know its pretty piss-poor, but its a start, come on others, dont be shy.

Yeah, we wont do anything to you unless you make a really bad one than we'll offend you and call you names (thats a jocke=.= dont take it too serious just post your mapping and stop worrying)

@ShadowNinjaDudeMan: Its quiet good(tha shading you made) it makes me think that a good texture should be made from multiple layers:
-main colours
-main shading
-quasi-bumpmap(+ shading to show bumps in alien's body)
But you dont have to do it if you dont want to
just like i do one layer mapping right now(nothing big)
Ahh BTW those two parts you dont recognize are:
 -oval: side eye
 -shapeless: interior side of mouth(its project from top view)
What about render?
PS: here's a legend if you have problems with reading UV-mapping

[Scotty]

wow i am surprised that this project has lasted so long. great idea, we could make a full mod out of this! i think we would need to thoroughly think the human weapons though, because at this point they nearly always lose.

[Shadowgandor]

not true

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Cool, thanks Redsky.
I may try a better attempt soon.

[Redsky]

not true

your right

Cool, thanks Redsky.
I may try a better attempt soon.

You're welcome^^ I would be glad if you try that attempt - your red-white mapping looks better than mine(not really finished) crapy mapping, :oops:
(maybe i will post it here but later-whan i finish it)

Gona make some animation this weekend ... hope to find time.
school and things... you know

(well i have that walk animation, but it doesnt look good, compare to tyrant charge animation, which is a masterpiece*)
----------------
*thats sad because you cant really see it in game, charge animation just dont match walking speed and it looks like tyrant is gliding on ice

[CreatureofHell]

How about posting some new screenies? I don't doubt we are all anxious to see it.  

[The MC Horton Crankfire]

Redsky, are you still working on this? It's a good idea, and I think it'd be pretty cool to see on a server or two.

[thirdstreettito]

Well, how much health do they have? Thats the main thing I want to know.

[olo89]

I have painted/colored this bug and I think it looks quite good

[Redsky]

LOL, alien on LSD nice job olo, continue, but remember that it have to look someway that will fit other aliens, not a ladybirds
hehe i was thinking he will have something like about
85-120hp, something between mara and lisk

To all who dont believe that im still working:

well, I AM.

just its not holiday any more and i dont have that much time

Cheers:)

[olo89]

I checked it in blender on your model and... it's not bad.  
I must change the color of wings and it will look (almost) seriously  :eek:
regards

[The MC Horton Crankfire]

Olo, your skin just doesn't seem to have the same detail and definition that the other skins in Trem do. Perhaps it'd be a good placeholder for early testing, but perhaps you could start a cooler version by ripping some textures off other aliens and manipulating those, instead of trying to start from scratch? :D

[Redsky]

Starting from the begining is not so hard to do... you just have to know what you want to put on that maping. Good maping would take something like 1 to 3 days.
The thing that puts me down i dont have time at all

Other thing is i'm not sure if i can handle making codes due to lack of free time(i have to study harder on C, i have to learn trem code, i have to write it, i have to check it a thousend time-it wont work good at first go-its simply too much for noob like me<what more i dont know where to look for info). Can someone PM me if can make a codes or he knows a person who can?
Please in need help... it may take months or just some weeks to finish it and also effect will better
