>The Wannabe Pirates and the Curse of Greyhawk Island was made into four iPhone/iPad apps
But wouldn`t it make more sense to create real e-books, that could be bought directly in the apple e-book store,
then creating an extra app for each comic, which is very hard to find?
I am just trying to find out, how this can be done and if you need an apple for upload...
So far, I have created an indesign document 15 x 20 cm for pdf export with 150 dpi.
I wonder if it does make sense to have all the fonts in extra textlayers before....hmm

Hi largento,
Just discovered your thread here.
Great outstanding work as usual!
There`s exsisting a quite funny german startrek parody also:
http://www.weltbild.de/3/13689378-1/dvd/tr...tml?wea=8001213
Wonder if that one made it to the US?
On a sidenote:
Haven`t you been experimenting with e-books for your content yet?
Should be worth trying, shouldn`t it?

its an interesting endeveaur, but...
the quality seems to be very poor and not being able to compete with professional services like shapeways for instance.
Guess I will still wait till something from the big printer players pops up,
like hp, canon, epson or xerox...

Hi Homeslice,
Very good list all around!
just let me add my two cents to that topic:
>You have to do your own cooking. Eating out and buying boxed/frozen/processed foods gets expensive, fast.
just cook a bunch of fresh potatoes and then together with butter eat them with some tincan fish (sardinas)
or an avocado or some cottage cheese with herbs.
Guess that would be a quite healthy variation once in a while to just noodles.
Then as a reward you could go to a steakhouse once in a while.
Since in the evening I always eat good dark bread (which you are lacking in the US as far as I know ) with cheese and ham etc.
and drink a pure beer I dont feel that I am missing nutrition that way.

I made a "quick" fly through.....(16 hours rendertime)

>I thought maybe it was the way you made the ebook (the page size is small for the ipad)
Maybe Mobipocket creator creates automatically for the standard kindlesize like 7" I guess and i-pad has 10".....
For the villain I used a different font to underline his evil character.
I could change that to the other font.
Seems all this is still in it`s infancies.
The solutions that come to my mind are:
-change the page-layout to newspaper strip or one picture per frame, which would ruin the overall page layout though.
-in the longer run ask amazon to make it possible somehow to have the pictures and the text in the speechbubbles on different
layers for different resolutions.
All in one I think the kindleamazonstore is still a great opportunity for us contentcreators
and the more competitors there are like applestore, androidstore etc. the better.
As the competition will lead to better conditions for us.
MAYBE it would be a good idea to make some picture-e-books with TWO and SO content?!
Easy to do and could help to spread the word.

Thank you all!
>Well I got your book on the iPad using the kindle for iPad app
However tHe the text was difficult to read
The transfir process was not very crisp
But I did injoy it
I did the book with Mobipocket creator (free), that compressed all my quite good jpgs to about 50 KB filesizes,
which is not optimal for the typo. It would be good to have the possibity to zoom in for comicbooks.
You could read it in fullcolor though? What do you mean by "transfer process" the download from the kindlestore?
Maybe they will develop the e-book for special e-comicbooks further to better standards in the future.

Hi All,
This is some setdesign I created thus far in order to bring some of my 2d comicbook creations to a 3d live for use in movies and games.
At the same time, I am experimenting, if e-books from the kindle store could be a possible way for distribution of my comicbooks with
these characters. The hardcopy version I tried from lulu gets way too expensive.
You can see both and some more pictures at my website related to this topic:
-ONLY FOR ADULTS-
Has anybody else here tried e-books for comics yet?
cheers Jake

>It helps having photorealistic decals.
You mean, one is the photo and two the model, right!

Hi Mark,
Great work! Do you have certain plans for her?
How come, you don`t have a website?

Hi Will,
I feel for you and probably many others here too, that are in quite similar situations.
But... I don`t recomend to quit your good job lightheartedly these days.
I would rather wait till either your kickstartercampaign kickstarts and generates enough money
to work on your project for a certain period of time
or at least till you have saved enough money to take 2 years or more of as somekind of a sabbatical.
To tiecoworkers to your project will get very hard without money, they will get on and off
your bandwaggon as they like and even with money jnvolved organisation will take more of your time
then you will probably like.
So better start alone or with a very small team and don`t aim too high.
Also maybe refocus your goal.
If you want to make money it could make more sense heading for the games direction
then movies.
Just 2 cents from a guy who in fact needs advice on this topic himself.

>i will it be possible to use AM v 16 to make a movie like MEGA MIND. If yes, then i am in the right path to achieving my dream.

Will they have to be rigged?

....or take a look at this thread, which tried to establish a "Hash" comunity city:

a pity that atempt faded away...

Maybe they mean its more the hooks that still create problems?

Very nice model!
(Nevertheless it`s always kind of bewildering to me, that so many people put so much effort
into copyrigthed stuff instead of creating things of their own...)
GUTEN RUTSCH!
and may you all have an exciting and succsessfull year 2012!

Hi Paul,
Love your versions of Felix and Mr. Natural!!!
Hope I will see some unitystuff from you someday....
-
Must have been around A:M 8.5 , a quite stable and reliable version I started out with.
-
Yes, I found some blueprints, but they were very cluttered. I only used those for the wings.
theres some good blueprint and also sideview image of a N 17 there....
you are very close, some minor details, seems your nose is slightly too round for instance.
ehhr...I mean your planes nose naturally.
-
A:M used to have a weatheringfunction once upon a time, when I started, 8.5 it was a decade ago,
that was dropped sometime, so I guess A:M paint would be the best way to go.
Nice plane.
Did you use blueprints as rotoscopes?
-
Wow Gary, you sure have been busy!
Great works on your homepage!
Seems you can make a living quite well freelacing.
Do you still use A:M once in a while?
What became of Ottoman?
Is it still being developed?
-
Great model as always.
Maybe you could add some interior light to the VR, it seems a bit dark all over...
Just went to the Solaris website, because I had never heard of that company before and WOW:
What a succsses story in such a short time. Its a pleasure to read.

Happy birthday Sebastian.
Are you still with A:M and 3D?
