Leon Kerensky

Okay, im convinced that ANYONE who tries to make a sci-fi mod is cursed. around the time i stopped updating was the same time my computer exploded (in all reality the battery in my lapyop was faulty and had a heating problem causing it to break open). of course i had long since forgotten my commitment to this after i got my computer fixed, sorry.

ANYWAY, i will continue the project whenever i have time but i will post an attachment with what little work i have done. thankyou for your support and sorry to let you guys down.

Any luck Leon?

oi, this new forum system is quite... confusing

anyway, after being forced to leave my computer for a couple of weeks (went to grama's house, lol) i have finally returned... but with only a little progress, i have modeled the landing gears, the cockpit, and proper dimensions for the aircraft. plus a few touch-ups on the mapping, HOWEVER, i found that you dont actuly go under "Export" in 3Ds to export to an LOD file.... but i havent found anything else.... anybody got any other info?

Did you PM anybody?

i'll try coulumn5 this time.

I think Plugins should be the one..

sorry, no joy... maby i can ask someone who has the patch working to export the files for me

BE READY IN THREE DAYS! WANT AS CRHISTMAS PRESENT! Oh, sorry. My bad.

its all good,

IT HAS BEEN MADE ANEW!!

mkay, i got the file, only problem is that it isnt working... im not too shure what i might have done wrong, but i downloaded the exporter file from thirdwire.com (for 3dsMAX 2009) and placed it in

C/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds Max 2009/plugcfg/FbxPresets/2009.0/Export

is this the wrong spot?

uhhhh..... anybody know how i can get 3WExporter.dlu?

thanks! i'm trying to make it fly now, so it's time to hit the tutorials and figure out what i need to do to take this from a .max file to a fkying plane in WoV

CMOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!

B E A F*****g UTIFUL!!!!!!!

Looking forward to it Leon, awesome job mate! Keep it up!

Cheers!

THANKS! and i've made some changes, it looks alot better now

BEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

of course, i WILL do a better job on the unwrap, i just got ecited and rushed...

EEGADS!!! my fighter... its... GONE!! im gona have to re-make it... from scratch........

oi.... time to get to work

You're not getting it... On this forum is custom for addonmakers to answer to people asking for a release date of something not even the addonmakers know when it's ready with the saying: "It'll be ready in two weeks", when in fact it may take up way longer than that...

yeah, ive seen tons of those, but i dont want to lose the oportunity to loose the project to someone else, i LOVE the FRX-00 :yes:

Check the images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First. I need to re-map the arms and hands.

 

One problem to fix, is the position of the Gunpod. I think there is no way to put in the right hand..? The gunpod, is an external weapon.

 

For now I made the animation into the bomb bay anim.

 

I think to animate only the legs into the vector thrust animation. And no arms animation to avoid the incorrect position of the gunpod.

 

If anyone got ideas for the gunpod, welcome!, and thanks!

 

Cheers

PERFET! THIS IS EXACLY HOW I THAUGHT IT SHOULD WORK one question, are the legs like harrier engines, or do they sweep like f-14 wings and airplane canopies?

Oh no, he really said 2 weeks?

BUT I CAN USE THE COMPUTERS AT SCHOOL, HONEST

Which is one of the cooler fighters, House Kurita correct?

i think it was davions primary fighter, its the samurai, one of the few unseen battletech aerotechs, but i can easily make a paintscheem for each house

i need to subdivide the back and probably add more polygons to give it a better effect with lighting, but here's what I've got so far

dunno.

 

maybe they will follow the two weeks policy

well, my computer is DOA and needs to be wiped clean, and the guys at the shop say its gona take 2 weeks, so i'll have to use the computers at school, no progress till Monday for me.

I've also manged to download the artbooks, which have some excellent detail, 3-views, unit insignias, etc

VERY NICE WORK!

i call dibs on the FRX. and if nobody else want st oork on the supper sylph, than i'll pick it up

Actually somewhat canonical (picked these up in my net wanderings)

 

 

 

Exactly when the JAM invaded is never stated, but it's presumed to be in either the late eighties or the nineties, given that the original novel was written in '84, and the appearance of the C-141 in the flashback sequence

love the cell shading, but is there a way to get Ink and Paint to work in WoV?

Anyway when my computer comes back on line, i would be more than willing to actually do SOMETHING in this project and work on the FRX #D model

Sorry for the lack of anything guys. My life went through some big ups and downs lately. As it is I've recieved my facility assignement (Spokane International) so I'm buried in paperwork and travelling all over doing physicals and medicals. Truth is, even if I wasn't super busy, I'm not sure I could finish this, the cockpit modelling is way over my head. I was really hoping someone would take me up on my offer to help me finish this but I never got any biters. I think in the end my talents only lie in modelling/skinning and not so much in cockpit creation and flight modelling.

 

Anyhow, my previous offer for help still stands. Lets say if nobody offers before I move out to Spokane I'll try to remember to just upload what I have. Thanks for the interest guys, it means a lot. Sorry for not being able to finish this like I had wanted to.

by the way, what do you mean, "I never got anny bidders!?" in all seriousness, i dont want to take away your project, but i would be glad to help

Glad to se that you're doing okay, and that you have the time to continue this project

well, i duno, but mayby we can request for him to submit what he has and pick it up from there.

wow! awesome job,

dang.... you submitted the black paintscheme first. oh well... mine sucks anyway, it looks alot different, dont worry.

maby i can use it for other aplications.....
