Project Alien

[Macser_old 0]

I meant the project der bastler,and if I'm not

mistaken,Nephilim,were involved in.

Maybe it's not exactly the same,but similar.The Aliens

universe n all.

Anyway,I'll Pm ye with an E-mail address if ye like.

I don't mind whether I do texturing or modelling.

I'd just like to have some input on a project like

this.

Hey guys! hows the mod going?

[Macser_old 0]

Hey needer,

Some initial work on the APC:

Still a bit to go,obviously,but progressing.

Once the initial mapping is done,I can start

some detailing.

how did u like the egg?

my first good working masterpiece :P

[USMC NEEDER 0]

The egg looks pretty damn cool!

[nephilim 0]

have fun with that 15k apc model :P

btw the chassis color should be matt Olive drab

and not dark sea green

[prodetar2 0]

neph, not to be a prick but if you can do it better, then do so and dont go around saying how bad this is or how unauthentic

that is...

no everyone looks at the details...

yes the textures are bit very green but its something...

[snowballrules 0]

im still here just trying to find a decent blueprint of the weapons so i can build them

oh any one have pictures of the old aliens buggy toy?

hey im just giving advise...

ok ok im sorry bout that but you sounded so negative...

Afternoon everybody,

Yes,that colour is too dark,but I'm unconcerned.

It's always been a practice of mine to Keep

the original maps in a layered .Psd.Each aspect

has it's own layer.Colour,texture,highlights,shadows

and weathering are kept seperate for easy modification.

Then an adjustment layer on top for final tweaking

of relative brightness and contrast.

Changes can be made at any time.

As for the poly count in the APC,I'll work with what I'm given.

However,I'm very familiar with Derrin's work,and personally

wouldn't consider them for a game application.At least not

in their original form.But Snowball has obviously spent a good

deal of time trimming it down.It now weighs in at about 9000

polys.

Nephilim,Might I ask how you and Der Bastler approached

the interior?As you no doubt know,the actual vehicle

bears no resemblance to the movie set.In reality,it would

probably have to be 3 times the length.

Macser

Btw,Nice to see some experienced members takin an

interest too.

the buggy thing about the apc is that they used 2 different scales in the movie

one for the exterior shots where theyve used a plane pulling tractor and a build apc interior set.

the interior set was larger in scale than the actual apc

as you its main chassis is only several inch bigger than an upright standing man (bout 6 feet/1,80m)

so actually youd had to be ducted all time insde the apc

but in the interior shots you could stand updright in there..

so thats quite buggy

the apc i made (not bastler) there fore had an logically spaced

interior whichs pretty much cramped.

it also could only load 10 infantrists only instead of the regular 12 that would make a platoon.

another problem was the driver cabin

its simply too cramped with all the controls and youd have the control sticks right under your chin

which in the movie inst the fact..

but again theyve used the interior prop.

my goal was to keep the original dimension and so that it fits inside the dropship.

i didnt focus too much on the aliens movie but rather following the USCM theme itself.

anyway i guess you need to find a good balance between both.

i build the interior accodingly to the movie

well not the scale, but i looked up what is where and so on

[Macser_old 0]

Thanks Nephilim,

That's food for thought.I know what you

mean about balance.Choosing a more

realistic approach would mean moving

away from the movie version.Which

purists wouldn't like.

Going the other way would annoy

people who like realism.

What about keeping the exterior scaling,

But using an enlarged "viewCargo" lod,

more acccurate to the film set?

A sort of Doctor Who effect.

Bigger on the inside,than the outside.

Could have it's own problems of course.

Anyway,thank you for the input.

As i see you use Ksatryias Predator addons Take a look at this movie, im sure you will like the Predators and Aliens in it Im already working on the sequel.

yeah i saw that movie when ofp.gamepark added it to the news.

I love it!!! and when is that sequel due?

do you maybe know of a way to transform the avp2 models to ofp? i know its possible. cuze of the aliens and preds. unless they were made from scratch... or a way to contact ksatryia will also be great

(PM me if you want )

I like Ksatria's Predator the model is good ,but the flying is not good

Predator is climbing for houses not flying !(Climbing is good on Shinobi ninja)

I like it Predator from movie 1 and 2 but who is maked ?whit some weapons and tools ?

[prodetar2 0]

i dont think anyone is creating the pred1 and 2 predators...

ksatryias ones are good too

ontopic:

Pics of my base soon

ive also some sounds from avp2 pred roars very sweet in dark places.. hope you folks will like it :P

2)Alien in OFP is too good but ,Error:Value not array and bad sound with attack i seen all movies with alien ,but sound maked by on OFP alien i don't listened

i making a world with mountains but i dont have avp buildings

Sorry for my lang i don't English (i'm czech)

[prodetar2 0]

indeed the alien addon is very bad... the model is good and the textures too but the animations and sounds are very bad.

attack anims are sufficient but it walks like a friggin dinosaur

[Macser_old 0]

I haven't seen that drone model in

a while.But from what I remember,

it would be an excellent model upon

which to build.All the raw materials are there.

With some care and attention the

animations could be dealt with.

The sounds could easily be improved.

I got the impression it was intended

to be finished,but as is often the

case,other things get in the way.

Like life.
