Gron Battleship

Tigbit · #1 September 22nd, 2003, 05:27 PM

Thanks to everyone who commented.

The real trick here is coming up with enough of a variety of hull designs so that they are destinguishable on the minis. Thats the mistake I made with the first gron, some of the ships are harder to distinguish than I like. As for the detail, I really wanted to take the time on this. There are some realy nice looking sets out there and I no longer feel that my first three measure up anymore. Those three were done with Truespace 4, a nice prog and all but limited in some ways (that and it kinda blew up on me and never worked again). These current ones are being done on Lightwave 7.0 Final, which is a more powerful tool. It's taken me nearly a year to learn to use it well enough to do these.

cool, lightwave 7.0 final eh?

have you ever played with autocad to do these?
how about using what fyron uses?

i keep playing around with different packages to figure out which one is best for making awesome shipsets... so far its pretty hard

add any additional experience you have on the subject if you can

Fyron has made a ship set? I think you must have me confused with someone else. I have never made a ship for SE4, as I am no good at it.

if it's any consolation, i sometimes confuse your new avatar with his on a quick glance.

Because I have no idea what Fyron uses and have no interest in installing and learning another prog when LW works for me and does all I want. Please don't take this part of my reply in a negative way, as this is the easiest way to answer your question. I realy do not mean it in the negative way it is likely to appear to others.

As for which one to use...

I cannot really judge as I have only used 3 of them and the very first is not worthy of mention that is how lame it was, Truespace 4 crashed and will never work on my system again so I cannot even remember how bad it was. I am currently using LW and like it. I am still learning how to use it and I am having fun doing the things I am doing with it. I give it raves at this point in time... mind you I also gave Truespace raves when I was using it. I am sorry I was not much use here.
