Macross Δ (Delta) - NYE Special Talkback - READ 1st POST
milty66 replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Generally disliked it. Seems like lazy writing with no heart. Looks like the creators went through a checklist of what they think Macross is. Who knows. would have been nice to get a full tv series of ZERO. I miss Mikimoto's character designs! -
Macross, Anime and Sci-Fi in the Seattle Area

Heading about 30 min north into Kirkland there is a vintage toy store called Amazing Heroes. Owner is a little rough but they have some hardcore collectibles ( modpeada , tf , go lion, gobots) Books kinokuniya is your best bet for manga/art books , but there is a hobby shop around the corner called " international toys" or something. -
I'm not sure when the xbox ( 360, ONE) beta goes live, once it does I can get some codes to share here. Codes should be totally valid since they come directly from our internal allotment ( i.e. I work on the game)
-
ok, if you need more let me know. I have for 360, ONE, Ps4 and Ps3
-
are more of you playing on ps4 in general?

So, I've looked into this a little, and gonna try to ask my coworkers if there are other vendors that use "Objet" printers for parts printing, versus Zcorp. "Objet" produced fine detail for Ironman suit prototypes and our HALO models. It seems as though the tolerances are much smaller than the zcorp and stratasys. a look at Objet.As for the earlier question about 3d design, I'm learning that modeling for games is much different than for printing. Clean poly sculpting will get you mostly there ( because it will make optimization and shelling easier), and there's great forums on www.3dtotal.com

Thumbing through the pages of vol 3, there's a lot of really nice artwork, though it seems Hal has over-feminized all of the main character designs over the original. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he's the original designer, and thus is the most contemporary expression of these old characters. There's really no need for a new anime series, since this exists. Only wish the flight suit designs mirrored more of the M-Zero style realistic details. At least they are not as bad as Frontier's. To put the other issue to rest: We all pay our money to support this franchise, but it's unfortunate that many of us are unable to get the full value out of our purchase. Seriously the publishing company should create an app, which includes paid subscriptions to other-language versions of this comic. Creators deserve the money, completely, so I bought the tankobon, but I lament the fact it doesn't hold much value other than the fantastic art( same as 7Trash). To those that usually get their work translated, what's a fair rate to pay for translation? I think I know someone, but I don't want to insult them by being too cheap.

Interested too. At some point I'd like to help model. I just need sizing templates in 3ds max. I am a professional hard surface modeler on the Halo franchise. when I had spare time I could help with some smaller weapons, accessories. example:I built the original high resolution source geometry for the Rocket Turret, which we sent to macfarlane toys to manufacture.

Looking at the pictures isn't good enough, even if we know the story. There is enough "change" in MTF that warrants further investigation into more of the nuances of the story which can only be accomplished with translation. I've read the translated first few issues, and feel no shame in doing so. I support the franchise wholeheartedly, but this is crazy-thinking. The issue for some isn't the willingness to spend money to support a franchise. It's about convenience of use, in this connected, on-demand world. Your overseas dollars really don't make a considerable difference in the overall equation to "support" considering the proportion of fans outside Japan to native Japanese. For the creator/copyright holder, it's nice to know works are appreciated in other places, but primary market is always paramount. It's like if the people of Boise, ID were to boycott pineapples... The money doesn't go directly to Mikimoto, Kawamori, etc. For some, it's really not about being cheap or not having money. Some people simply have no time to learn proper written Japanese. How's this for a solution: Someone here should develop a website, which hosts all scanlated Macross works, charge a membership fee. Use that membership money to buy official macross stuff to share or distribute to the membership. How does that sound? Or we can simple pool money to a trusted account? I'd like to see more of MTF and pay for it. Personally I can't clutter my home with this stuff anymore.

if they are around 200-$250, I'll gladly buy 2!!!

I got mine 2 weeks ago....haven't even opened the box yet. How do you guys recommend that I paint it to preserve as much of the line detail? which tools? What kind of paint?
-
Wow, you guys sure are lucky! I haven't yet received mine...hopefully it will make it here within the week. ( crosses fingers)
-
I'm interested too, depending on the price!

The Transformers 2 Thread--A Michael Bay thread
milty66 replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This movie was horrible. I like bad movies generally, but this was just an awful movie. No redeeming qualities for the artist in me who began drawing because of a love of TF ( especially the 1986 movie). The concept designs are some of the worst I've seen for the robots, and they have no personality to distinguish themselves from each other. The Japanese would be able to do a magnitude better designing them. They should've asked Kawamori to redesign them for the movie, as he did for some of the toys( in Japan). The movie was bad and the robots sucked( aesthetically). Bay please doen't make another TF movie.
