[Making terrain]

Also to start, in a model window, right click and pick Plugins>Wisards>Terrain. With this program and a grayscale image you can make almost any type of terrain

[Hurray!]

Sweet! I know the fealing. I resently bought the 2007 version of animation master. It is pretty sweet.

Believe me, the program and the extras dvd are both really good!

[Motion Capture]

I was looking around for different sites for Motion capture data in the BVH format.

This is a good site: http://www.bvhfiles.com/ If anyone else can find a good site than post it in this thread.

Cheers!

Also you can turn dynamics on and animate a force moving in the coreography to simulate wind

[2007 A:M CD and Extra DVD]

Yea i have found some of the stuff online. Thanks for the info!

[Timing Particles Sprites, Streaks and etc]

In the coreography set the rate of emission at 0 untill 10 seconds. Than turn it to wateaver rate you want and back to o at 13 seconds. And i dont know if this will work for lens flares as well but i imagine it will if you turn on and off the light when you want the flare

[2007 A:M CD and Extra DVD]

Yea i see your point but i was dissipointed when many tutorials that looked cool would not open. Howeaver i want to comment on how good all the models and projects were. I had lots of fun exploring to see what new stuff i could find.

I think there is a little too much green in the tail. I remember jabba as being more the tan color of his chest throught his body. Just a sugestion :-)

[2007 A:M CD and Extra DVD]

My only complaint about the bonus disc is on the various tutorials. Most of them are good but there are some that wont open or are otherwise plain wierd. I mean a few of the zip arcives dont work, some pdfs will not open and a few tuts are in like chinese. I thought that as a whole the dvd was pretty good but i think that whoeaver organizes the next one should at least make sure that the tutorials will at least open.

I cant wait to see jabba!

[Flame Tutorial by Sine NG]

Just to clarity the above post, you group one or more patches and then apply the material to it.

[Blaster in Progress]

Thanks for the comments. Yea i have to work on the wear paterns. Im just getting the hang of decaling and using photoshop. And yea i will probably make the handle more square and slightly bigger

[Blaster in Progress]

I just modeled this blaster. I would welcome any coments on it.

[Help with Decals]

Here is an example about what i am talking about. It was not rendered with multipass though. The first immage is sharp but when it iss rendered it loses its clarity.

[TRAINING DISKS]

I agree that they are good. I have a couple my self. They help a lot

[Skimpy Version 2.0]

I like number 1 too. I think the arms are slightly too long but other than that it is good

[STAR WARS: The Battle Of Mygeeto]

I am interested in seeing how it turns out

[Just a thanks]

Well thanks for everything you do. You have helped me a lot and i think i should post a thanks here

[Flocking]

Thanks. Tao A:M is a pretty cool book. Im sorry its missing a page

[lens flares]

Yea they can be used for lots of different effects. I have seen tutorials for making them look like distant explosions for use in a sci fi project

[Help with Decals]

When I am in shaded mode my decals look good. Howeaver when i render the lose their clarity. They go from looking sharp and defined to having a smooth look. I realize this might be good for some images but i am annoyed by it. Is there any way to set the sharpness for the render

[Why doesn't my mouth move to the words?]

You mean there isnt an "easy" button???? Than how does everyone else make such good models??? lol

[Empire Strikes Back]

Both the AT-At's and the snow speeders look very realistic. Your game should be loads of fun :-)

[Star Wars Characters WIP]

Great modeling!!!!!!!1

[Using A:M on a laptop without an optical drive]

Good

Yea I guess that makes sense
