Why Steve is that a Stone you are holding?

Okay here's part 3 of my homework, will go back and see if I have posted part 2. Then I need to figure out the extra homework stage. Built this guy myself.. my bouncing army of flybots

Not sure, anything is possible. Watched that much tv over the years, that some programs get lost with time in my head.. I think my brain has a random wipe facility that just um randomly wipes information . Like um what was we talking about?? *coughs*

StevieJ wrote: What program are you using to create those samples

Depending which samples your talking about the one above was Xenodreams, the landscape one yesterday was Terragen. Not got the full version of Vue 6 yet but will when I get some coin's to rub together.

Which one did you use to create the background image??? I'm really liking those.....

Homework??? What class is that for??? ......you probably posted it......but I'm too lazy to go looking through all those pages for it.....

I have AutoCad.....but I've gotta save my pennies for either 3ds Max ($ 3,500) or Maya ($ 5,000).....along with fully-stocked V-Ray ($ 500).....

Between Ron, Craig, Carl, and you.....I'm seeing a good part a game design team.....

Any chance that you guys like Mech Warrior games.....

Thanks.....I'll check that out.....

What??? We'll have to work on that.....maybe think of it like "metal machinery destruction".....

lookin good, bel.

yes, i played mech warriors III and IV. played both online. III sucked due to cheaters/hackers. IV was fun

Besides, haven’t you watched the first Jurassic Park? Any technician capable of writing a game ai will sell your embryos and leave you to be eaten by dinosaurs.

Can you make dinosaurs that realistic with Maya.....or were Jurassic Park's made with Maya/3ds Max???

Craig you may not want to listen to so much info on vfx but I think you will find how hdr panoramas were used to be very interesting. You can hear that on one the first half of part 2.

I tried but I got attached to my machines ... didn't want people blasting my babies up.. plus think was on my old pc not so much speed. Mind think I could do with more Ram, and a couple of cores etc now. So like you my wish list is getting long Steve.

New computer, maybe a laptop so can work outside when nice, plus heaps of software, and um etc etc lol

Carl wrote: do you construct the springy guy from scratch

yep lol! My mind went blank when I read the part that said construct our own model. Being that till then I hadn't built anything in Xenodreams.. most stuff I build is in Second life. I might see if I can use similar principles for building in Xeno. Might be interesting if I can create stuff a bit like what I build in SL.

No problem. It's probably me and 13 other people worldwide that find that kind of thing interesting.

It's not that. We have all demonstrated a willingness to be more or less tasteless. I think everyone has been super busy or otherwise occupied lately. [quote]

They have some video ones but they are too long for me to download.

Carl wrote: I'll have to go and read what exactly the program does

By the looks of things heck of a lot and I've only scratch a tiny part doing this course. Cool thing is you can download it and have a look and see what it does part from it has a lot of restrictions with the demo version.
