Radd, you're absolutely correct. Sharing my opinion though (sorry if this offends anyone): Except for one thing: Original Conceptions. This newest TF project NOT Original, It's a cherished and diverse IP that has legions of fans (even if certain people in the industry who are controlling it could careless). So you need to factor in how the fanbase will react to any such "interpretation" and now you can see some of that here. For example: If I were to make a live action ROM movie and ordered some CGI designer to "modernize" the look of the character, I know that it would raise holy hell with the hardcore fans. Since my vision would be to stay as true as possible to the IP any such changed would be minimal to both appease fans (firstly) and secondly to bring an early 80's IP to the 21st century... However, if your work is completely original and no one's ever seen that character before who's gonna know the difference? Just you and the client commissioning it. A VERY different situation. You can go from "acclaimed visionary" to "the guy that ruined X" in a heartbeat... (*Cough* R.D.Moore*Cough*) But that's neither here or there.

Mine too apparently, think we can start a class action lawsuit? Seriously, wasn't it bad enough I accidently passed by the toy section of Walmart and low and behold STAR WARS / TRANSFORMERS... WTF??? Now they have Grape Ape Prime? Can I hire some Ninjas to go bat sheet crazy on these people, before it's too late? (they have to be really CHEAP Ninjas though)...

Hey Stratagos, My model guy tried to work with the VF-11 but he said it was too high poly No worries though he has one in the works more game friendly. Personally I'm more interested in the Great Mazinga I saw in your previous post! How many poly is it? Also great job on the cityscape, actually I think it's Monument city (not Macross). Is that SDF-1 in storm attcker mode FULLY modeled??? (polycount?) Anyway here are some vids Shadow0000 did to show off Getter Robo G armageddon version. If you would like I can send you the mesh in .cob, .lwo or .3ds formats. I think it's about 23k I also have a 18k Grendizer somewhere I found off an Italian site. http://www.mediafire.com/?6njz0yijehe If that doesn't work you can read the thread he made that details his efforts. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php...ic,46323.0.html l8tr!

Wow Good thing I checked this thread before posting a new one for the Demo link. I wasn't aware that people here knew of the Mod... Very encouraging!

Oh yeah this is gonna win me soem fans.... I say NO. At least not yet. I would suggest making a plea on RELIC boards and appeal to the community's spirit that you are done modeling and need some help on the HW2 side of things (ie conversion, etc). I know of a few mods in the past that from the start were community projects, but those fell apart due to the core leadership dropping the ball. That is NOT the case with DYRL, your leadership is strong and I think the attempt to gather new skilled people should come one last time before just uploading the whole alpha now unfinished... I think the whole experience you get from the mod will be increased by that instead of viewing a half-finished work beforehand. That's just this guy's opinion.

Ha that's great! Never seen a model of the Fanjet Racer before... Can Rhino export to other formats? I can only use general ones like .3ds, .obj, .lwo, etc... I mainly use 3dexploration for my cross conversion needs. Eventually it needs to be made into a .cob file for final conversion into Freespace 2 for combat scenes. Here's a look at how it might turn out in a comparison shot of a Vf-1a from SDF Macross and a few vf-19's (blaizer, kai, and an excalibur) from Macross 7: all less than 1k polys I think. The vf-1a was a bothtech .x file and all the vf-19's were from Models Please .mod SFC3 files. He also put me in touch with Rod O Neil who's making a kick arse VF-4 lightning for us. Warhammer 40k is made by Games Designer Workshop and started out a Star Fleet Battles type of game table top with interaction with miniatures (think Battletech but with space ships). I think it was called battle Fleet Gothic? I might have the timeline confused I am not up on their history as to what came otu first. They since released a few computer games like SpaceHulk and Blood Angles and then the latest ones are Dawn of Ward and it's two expansions (winter assualt and Dark Crusade) that are RTS games and basicly Warhammer clones but TC's of the 40k universe and done VERY WELL!

I'm almost scared to ask how many polys that has...

Actually, it's a type of Space Marine from Warhammer 40k. But yeah, it also has a slight resemblance perhaps to a red Zaku or Gouf. When you finish that vf-11 can i mess around with it? Models Please plans on making one later on for Mylene's custom valk but I'd like to set some stuff up sooner if possible. Plus it;s always good to have options. Full Credit of course maintained.

I think it's a case of your wishful thinking. I think it's his knee, but if I'm wrong DAMN!...

Haha, I thought it only picked up for me when they started "Macross Idol"... I was so stupified, I HAD to keep watching!

Not a problem, I'll just watch this thread till you say otherwise then. (Just didn't want to get lost in the shuffle, that's happened to me before, ) - out!

While I'll agree that it's probably the worst Macross series, to me it did have an interesting outtake with the whole spiritia concept (think the Macross version of the Force). Of course the characters were way too shallow to justify the episode count, the little plus sequences were nice but simply not enough. They really needed to flesh out the character's backgrounds more. Not only would this have given deeper meaning to their actions, but it would have better reattached fans to the legacy characters and bonded us more to the new ones. Sadly they missed the mark. Overall I like Macross7 in a fluff way (I really like the music, I have probably every M7 song known to man, but GOD the English album sucks ass!)

I was gonna jump the gun and record any loose Zent lines I heard and of course Kamjin and sent them to you. However, I found only two lines from a stock Zent (he and roy kill each other) "You will not escape, Micronian!" "Oh yeah?" As for Kamjin, he's not in my version of the film. Should I just record and send you those two lines? (not meant to rush you, just eager to help).

Are you kidding me, anyone with a PC and a little 3d knowledge can destroy Battlecry. 5 Minutes into gameplay I felt like throwing up (but I was afraid my vomit would turn out Cell Shaded)...

Do you mean the AJACS chopper???? If so did you have any luck? I would be interested in getting a hold of the author.

I'll do better as you clearly misunderstood my post (no worries)... I'm pming you now.

That's why they NEVER let Focker do their PR vids... "If you're a REAL MAN..." (think impure thoughts and fill in the sentence). Great Work Chrono...

Haha that nose art of Misa is priceless (bathing suit).

I use this for my file uploads... http://upload2.net/ IF no one DL's in it goes away in 30 days. If it's active, but you forget your link while in other forums go back to the message you posted it in and re-copy it. - each file can be up to 25mb and unlimited number of uploads. Hope that helps anyone. For images I use: http://s22.photobucket.com/ or http://my.imageshack.us/

Um I have only made 1 3d model in my life (it sucks!) trust me society is better off that way. The Armd came from the original R-word Mod Team, the SDF-1 is by Trashman. I'm gonna say it real fast cause this is a MACROSS forum you understand. the R-word is (robotech)... Got it? Never repeat it again or people shun you! (kidding) Thanks for the kind words about Go. I loved many of his shows since childhood, and was thrilled when he started re-vamping the old Getter series again (Armageddon in 2002 and New Getter Robo in 2005) I'm also a big Yamato and Harlock fan. (surprising Leiji also made a robot series, DanGuard Ace!) Yeah I tried some experiments with stills and 3d and hope to try more in the future (I'm doing related projects all at once: a game mod, fanfiction and demo trailers, parody videos). Just a opinion: The lions are a bit low and too far forward I think. It would probably look better if you raised them up 2-3 inches and then set them into the back ground farther away. From my POV it seems they are surfing not flying. Post a pic when you get your vf-11 textured!

Heh, is that Rhino or C4D? Hello, I'm NOT a modeler or texturer, but I DO use a handful of 3d aps in game modding and slight alterations of meshes/textures. I frequently use: (rough guess on versions) Calligari Truespace 3.2 3DMax 7 and Lightwave 7 3DExploration 1.831 Lithunwrap 1.34 and Milkshake 1.7.1 I've tried Blender, Wings, and Google Sketchup, but found them unappealing (atm), especially since I don't really use any app to their fullest potential anyway. BTW, great job on those lions! I never really liked Voltron, but you certainly got them down I'd say. Someone made a comparison in this pic lately to Voltron... I was trying to make space fighters turn into balls of light so they can physically combine without crashing into each other (plus the cool factor) and they were like "Go Voltron Force!" I proceeded to cyber beat him to death with a Frozen Tuna... http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Sta...changealpha.jpg I'm a huge fan of both Macross and the R-Word, but especially Go Nagai's works (as you might tell my screen name is the American Version of Getter Robo G) And was trying to do a Getter Combine in front of SDF-1.. L8tr!!!

IF that was directed to me GREAT! Just send me the lines (assuming you have appropriate voice cues as to How you want them said) ;D I have DYRL, but not sure which version (it is subtitled though) I will have to watch it again as I don't remember Kamjin at all in it (AKA Khyron). Ironic, I write about his son in my fanfic and I'm about to voice his father... I do most of my VA modding in the morning when I get off work or mornings on weekends. I usually turn out 20-30 lines a day. (I like to get it all done at once). and then send them off for evaluation by the teams, get the reply, do the redubs, then after adequate performance wait for them to process it into the project. Looking forward to participating!

Hello, I rarely visit and just noticed your thread. I've been a mod voice actor on occasion and if you are still looking for a male voice here are some samples: "What the??? Look Out! Command, PSI Wing is Attacking Alpha One!" http://upload2.net/page/download/cfgnYBC44...38+006.wav.html "Enemy weapons locking onto my ship... Lots of enemy weapons..." http://upload2.net/page/download/Dy6sOhk7l...38+011.wav.html "Mercenary Fighters closing to attack, Looks like we're in for a fight..." http://upload2.net/page/download/NNXJGBVJE...38+009.wav.html Refuting SOC's orders... http://upload2.net/page/download/jg2ligUMh...rival2.wav.html I hope you find them satisfactory, personally I don't liek my voice or think I sound like anyone but I still get used, I'll check back more intensely for a bit and here's my mail Stardragon1@hotmail.com

*begin flashback* - Age 11 OMG Gobots!!! My very first plastic glued robot model was "Leader One" an Alpha Fighter. I was like WOW why is this Gobot cool and looks nothing like the Gobot animation, and all the others suck? Oh and the main bad guy enemy was some sort of Cyclone rip off... *End Flashback*

I'm 36 years old and grew up on 70's anime... Can anyone tell me why I suddenly have the strangest feeling that I want to hurt this person? So is TMNT (a work I have not seen yet, is it even released?) his ONLY credit in the industry? If so I have a special message from the 70's for him in regards to scooping up the rights to make some sort of kiddized monstrousity (like Paxton did to my Beloved Thunderbirds). Note, this screenshot has not been altered in any way... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/getter_robo_...jpg&.src=ph I think Boss Borot has adequately shown my feelings on this subject. Also, if the canon pantyshot in the opening credits is missing from the new work I will boycott it...
