Ravager

dont worry, the tail has 36 bones in it, plenty for movement. and is this what you meant by the mouth? or is it still too blocky?

ok, i got her tail done, and her bones are done too. im just not sure if her body should have reflections to make her look slimey, or is the specularity good enough? let me know if the reflections should stay, decrease or become removed, because i want to do a video demonstration, and i want it to be the "finishing touch" demonstration. i know that in model mode that her tail looks a little too long, but in the alien movies, including AVP, her tail seems to stretch very far away from her body, which should mean that her tail is very long, but thats my guess. let me know of anything and one more time, let me know of any revisions before i do the "finishing touch" video. cheers

ok, any sketches to help me out? i cant picture that out too well, can you tell me what it should look like instead of how too much it is of?

well, i got that small mouth that bites through the head of her victims, and i got a feeling that something isnt right. please, if you see the problem, let me know ASAP!

you know those words just under the avatar vid/picture they say "newbie, journeyman, master, exe" some of the words look like theyve been reworded by some people, is it because they have authority to do so, they have a high enough rank or is it because im having trouble trying to do the same to mine? i hope im not confusing you. thx

sure, i would like to listen to them, could you send me their links? anyway, more of the queen is done, she looks a little funny without her tail, but at least i got her lower torso and legs done. let me know of anything

ok, i got the arms done... now onto the lower torso i was thinking of some songs that might go into this movie that i might make, and i'd like your opinion they're Bush: Alien, and Godsmack: I Stand Alone dont know these songs? try listening and watching the alien and predator music vids on YouTube !!!!CAUTION GORE AND VIOLENCE!!!! IN THESE VIDS! (Bush: Alien, an ALIEN music vid) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfvRvhSy0BY (Godsmack: I Stand Alone, a PREDATOR music vid) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvZG53OXBcw these vids contain scenes from the alien and predator movies

thanks, i'm giving a lot of effort and time into this, and i'm happy to know that it's paying off! it took me all day today to get the upper torso done, i didn't do the arms yet, but don't worry, i'll get to them! let me know if anything looks out of place

i did the neck, now for the upper torso.... i even added a little color, and again, let me know of anything i hope i'm doing swell!

anyways, i thought that if i was going to start over on the queen, i should give the old model away this is a very old model, it doesn't have hand or feet targets, and it is somewhat complicated... if you want the model, go knock yourself out cheers ALIEN_QUEEN1.mdl let's just hope i did the link right this time

i'll try to fix the lines... just tell me exactly where and i'll get right to it

i decided to put a little more "will power" into my models, so i'm somewhat starting over. let's start with the head. i got the crest and head done, now i need to get onto the neck.... i think i'll save that for tomorrow. anyways, here are the pictures. let me know of anything that isn't right. yes, a little too shinney, i'll try to fix that tomorrow.

what do you mean? any suggestions on how to fix the the side of the mouth? and which side? left or right?

she's done! i got the female predator model done for now, all i need is the modifications..... tell me what you think an what you think should be added on. just like the male, i did the female by using an already made female human model, the put on the rest. female face expression femalepred1.mov female walk sequence femalewalk.mov

is this what u mean by wireframe? i hope i did it right by the way, great idea on the scythe! i think i'll lengthen it up.....

yes, i dont mind if you post it, i'll need all the ideas i can get! i got some animation done for the male predator, facial and a walk sequence..... tell me what you think i didnt do the dreadlocks for the facial expresion, it would take too long facial expression malepred2.mov walk malepred1.mov

my vid. card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE (with a little cross at the end). the new computer is one of those new HP ones, do you know what vid. card would work for it and fix the problem?

i just downloaded A:M and the files i was working on and everything's working great, somewhat. when i'm in model mode and i have the bone mode shaded and wireframe, everything's wrong. when the bones flash, the CPs don't flash, they just look like black dots, even though i try to do color matching with the bones to help myself out, i'm still having a very hard time( because some of the bones have the same colors! and i can't make them all different colors!) and when i'm in action mode, if i move,rotate or even rotate the camera view of the bone, all of the bones turn into a solid black color, and are no longer transparent, and if there is a bone in front of that certian bone when this hapens, it blocks the view, and this can be a HUGE problem when you have a lot of bones. i NEED help, and i don't want to go back to the old computer or everything goes back to taking an hour to render, move CPs, you name it so please, HELP

i mean for the bone to not move through things like thin air, i want it so that the bone bounces off the model it is originating from. i dont know how else to put it, like it would for the texture of hair, but only in bone form, it cant be done in a hair texture form, its complicated.

what do you mean, "CD option"? what would you recomend in the settings for the bone or bones if you want them to act like hair or loose tentacles, and that they don't go through the model or scene?

is there any such thing as an "object collision" for a bone? if there is, can you tell me how to do it?

yes, and still a no-go. it must have been somehow deleted or removed, can you still give me the list of the constraints so that this might become fixed?

you know the last post i made, "feet?", it had questions about the legs following the feet and stuff. this time, i imported the "2001 Skeleton", and stuff, after a while, adding all the flesh and stuff to the bone, it worked fine. just now it has seemed to have forgotten the constraints to the bones, and it wont move with the targets. can you tell me what constraints go to which target/bone?

no, can ya post a link?

is there some way to generate water or liquids to make a stream or fountian exe, like a sprite, only in water form and not "particles"?
