mbs357 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Wondering if this got any further than I know of. A while back on the old forums someone created a program that demonstrates a VF-1A's transformation and modes in a 3D DOS-like program. It was written by Chris Glasnapp, I don't know his MW name. I don't believe he gave releases versions, so I'll have to describe the last version I saw: I believe missles were added, and a more fancier wing sweep mode, where the plane banked and angled and the thrusters opened. If this was already brought up on the new boards, I apologize; I did a search that yielded nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross_Fanboy Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, just dig through the threads here for a cool little movie with the VF-19, VF-11 and VF-1 mixing it up with the Meltran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on page 2. Here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=5133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs357 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Um, that's a video? What I speak of is a program that lets you transform a VF-1A at the push of a button and view it from any angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull 0ne Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) I still have that program, I think................. I'll go looking for it at lunch. AHH I found it, now will some one please tell me how to host this so he can down load it? Thanks Aaron Edited March 31, 2004 by Skull 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was already brought up on the new boards, I apologize; I did a search that yielded nothing. That was me! I'm Chris Glasnapp! : ) Anywho, it didn't get any further than what you remember it being. I coded up the program and did the original model. Some other people fiddled around with my clunky animation to make it look much cooler. Other than that, nothing happened. Unfortunately, real life interfered and I haven't been able to pursue my creative outlets very much anymore. : ( I had much grander ideas, such as smooth animation through the use of bezier animation paths. Perhaps i'll get back to it someday... I'll be sure to post anything I do, but don't hold your breath. If you the source or anything, just shoot me an e-mail and i'll send it on over. It was written in C++ using the OpenGL and Glut APIs. You can reach me at: cglasnap@vt.edu Have a good one, -cmg_cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammera Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Dude good work! I added some music to it, but I don't have a place to put the file. Its about 10 meg. The song I added is called Way Out by orbital, I ajusted the timing in the into just a little to match the music a little better, but that is all I have done.

cmg_cobra Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Well, as much as i like to take credit for the kickass movie, I can't. I just wrote the silly little valk transformation program. You can't put music to it, really. ; ) -cmg_cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get the chance to do what you want with it one day. Unfortunatly I can't do anything with the source code until I find some (inexpsenive (ie: free)) way of learning C++ (like online maybe). =] Edited April 1, 2004 by mbs357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can pick one up for pretty cheap somewhere! An intro level book will give you the necessary background more than a website will. Although not all web pages are created equally, so I may be wrong. ; ) Personally, I'd highly recommend C++ as a first language. It's not the most forgiving language, but it lays the foundation for many of the advanced aspects of the computer science field. I am, of course, quite masochistic, so take my advance with a grain of salt. ; ) Feel free to e-mail me with questions if you start learning C++! -cmg_cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look for a book, hopefully it won't be too much. I'm poorer than uh...poor people. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
