thetanman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 i will try beveling the castle later i have a tennis tournament tomorrow and then friday i have to go to the orthodontist and then saturday i have to get up at 8 and go take the ACT test and then later that night i am going to prom and after prom and i will be up all night til prolly like 6 in the morning so i prolly won't start on the castle til next week.

thetanman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 i went ahead and worked on the castle some there is still some stuff that needs to be done as you can tell umm.... i just added the color to show the model up better. black mage send me the mushroom with the wings and i will add it to the castle. personally i think that this model is a lot better than the older one i think that the roof could be fixed but i don't know here is the updated castle Quote
thetanman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 well the picture turned out bad looking so i will post another one later i know how to fix the roof now ttyl byebye Quote
thetanman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 i saved it but now when i open it the castle is not there so i guess i am going to have to start all freaking over Quote
tido Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 If it's a but with the file, try sending it to us so we can check it out... Did you save the model mdl file of left the model in the project? Quote
thetanman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 well i used a primitive so i think that has something to do with it because when i try to bevel something myself it never works out right and i don't know why Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 ok i'm gonna link it. the thing is the wings can only be added in th chor. copy and pasting wont work because the feathers mess up. so just put it on in the chor. it has bones and every thing and the feathers move with it. i'll send the pm in a min. Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 sorry, i had to do it here. if the wings don't look right just tell me, you might need to adjust the "bow" setting in the feather hairs options. Wings.zip Mushroom.zip Quote
thetanman Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 it isn't supposed to be in gold the picture just rendered it that way for some reason do you think it looks better though? Quote
Chrury Sanson Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I do! I can really see the difference the beveling made. :thumbs up: Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 i went ahead and worked on the castle some there is still some stuff that needs to be done as you can tell umm.... i just added the color to show the model up better. black mage send me the mushroom with the wings and i will add it to the castle. personally i think that this model is a lot better than the older one i think that the roof could be fixed but i don't know here is the updated castle you beveled some things that you shouldn't. for instance, some of the roofs aren't connected to the walls. you might just have to delete and connect. also it looks a bit too beveled to me, the edges are way too big...try expanding some of the patches...personally the way i drew it was so that it didn't need to be beveled....maybe some pars but not all of it...i tried to keep it simple to model....just squares and triangles, with some exceptions. one thing that could help is booleans...ever hear of them? you can use that for the mushroom hallway...you can also use the other drawing i made before i made the roto as a reference too. and like i said i intended the castle to be simple to model....i don't really think beveling is necessary... Quote
thetanman Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 i have heard of booleans but never really knew what they were where can i find this booleans? do i have to download it somewhere? Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 no you dont. its in the bone settings, in fact you know that spiny i made, the first one(crappy one)? for the nose i used booleans. you just make the shape you want to but into, then make a bone on it and in the bones settings turn on "boolean".

Nunsofamerica Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 Mage, Beveling is very much neccesary. (sp?) I think the castle looked great. we will continue from the gold part by adding things Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 I realize this project is moving slow at the moment... but mario needs to get done Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Mage, Beveling is very much neccesary. (sp?) I think the castle looked great. we will continue from the gold part by adding things well if thats the case, your going about it all wrong....all that needs to be done is the side walls....simply having two splines to a edge should be enough to smooth out the corners to your tastes. the wall to roof doesn't need to be doubled. you can pretty much do that with the first version of the model...if it helps i would gladly do it my self.... Quote
tido Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I think he's doing a great job with the castle and we shouldn't take that away from him btw, if any1 wants to get mario done I don't mind, I still got a bit more then a week before I can continue my work Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 I accually love the roof. Save your model tanman, but send it to mage. I want to see what he has in mind. If we dont like it, we will use yours Quote
thetanman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 ok i am redoing the castle sicne last time it didn't get saved right but i am going to fix the roof this time to where it looks betters ummmm.... i will try and put the new mushroom up there and am going to add some texture to it should i put some gold on the castle???? Quote
thetanman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 uummm....... do you want me to put flags on the castle? i think it would look pretty neat myself Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 just try what you want, and we will comment Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 thats what i forgot flags!!!! go for it! and i'm waiting for the model...... Quote
thetanman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 ok here is the new castle that i had to redo i put mage's mushroom on the top but the wings keep saying that it is an invalid file so i don't know but here it is i hope that you all like it!! i will put the flags and other stuff in later but tell me how to do a boolean are there any tutorials???? Quote
thetanman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 i will send you the model in a minute mage Quote
thetanman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 here you go mage! good luck on it!! PPeachCastle.mdl Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 here is another update on the castle i think it is coming along very nicely!!! hope that you like it even more than the first one be thinking on how you want this to be textured. black_mage, you need to send the wings again try it as a model because everytime i try to open them they say that the file is invalid Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 lookin good, theres a few things i can fix up but the corners are great so far... don't do anything for a while i'll upload it soon.... Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 have you worked on your version of the castle mage? Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 hey wait a minute....tan what version are you useing? Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 sorry i can't help then...i have v12....i'm updating soon...maybe in a few weeks...sorry but theres nothing i can do right now.... Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 oh well that is ok nuns will try and help me i am going to try and do the door tomorrow and then going to texture my first big model YIPEE!!!!!!! Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 i am going to post different versions of the castle textured wise and tell me which one you guys like better mage send me the materials for the mushroom please Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 the gold and silver didn't look good at all what should the castle have on it brick what colors?? i need to know this have to go to work right now will texture when i get back!!!!! Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 castle is looking good. and wings wont go on the model. It just may go on the model in the choreography, so it wont be attached Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 yeah thats what i said, they won't work copy and paste wise....but being in the chor. shouldn't be much of a difference.... Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 how do i get the wings into the choreography then? Quote
thetanman Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 do you wanna see the castle in gold and silver? Quote
thetanman Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 here is the updated castle textured if you don't like it let me know, the bridge and door still needs to be modeled i have a very good idea for this i will surprise you. umm.... i need decals for the flags on the castle and the flags for the ones on the towers and i need one for the triangle on the roof i added a moat and ground as you can tell. i will be gone tomorrow, thursday, and friday will be back on saturday. HOPE THAT YOU LIKE THE NEW CASTLE!!!! Quote
thetanman Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 ladies and gentlemen: PRINCESS PEACH'S CASTLE!!!!!!!!! Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 sorry but that moat wont work, water does not round up over the ground lol.... i like the color of the castle, it still needs some work, the pillar things on the corners weren't hanging and were connected to the corner, try finishing the castle before you put it in an environment, if you "do" do the environment make it a separate model. Quote
thetanman Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 mage are you going to send the materials for the mushroom and how i am going to put the wings in the cho. Quote
tido Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 About the water, you should dig the bottom of the castle underground and put the water directly next to it. and we need a bridge to get in. and a door would be nice too lol. Quote
the_black_mage Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 yeah didn't i have that in the drawing(the first one),and i didn't send the material with it? i'll have to do it tomorrow, second as of the wings simply put them in the chor.(short for choreography) and just position the wings on the castle. to add the second wing the put the same coordinates and add a negative next to number of the coordinates if needed, this is a cheap way to flip the wings over perfectly. the wing material is working right? i'll be on the community tomorrow for any questions and also i'm gonna link lighting and rendering set-up you guys can use for the move, its basically a good reference... i'll link it when i'm done. Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 looks good. just fix the mote, bridge, and door. Quote
Jequed Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Listen, i know progress has been slow lately for this project. My idea is from now on we should start a new forum dedicated to this film like the kind mage was mentioning earlier in this topic. This project needs to be organized. The castle is turning out great but that's all we've been talking for the past week or more. It needs to be in a separate WIP along with everything else. If we started a new forum, we could have separate WIPs for every character, every scene, every object, etc. Progress would be so much faster. Also, if we had topics that had to do with planning, we could come of with new ideas much faster without the occasional post that turns this entire topic in another direction. Just stating my opinion. Quote
thetanman Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 i agree plus does anyone have any decals for the castle?? i need them quick Quote
Chrury Sanson Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Update! The door: A revamped sink corner: Do you like the purple? The only thing I think I'm missing is some sort of cabinet door(decal or otherwise) for under the sink. And maybe a trashcan. I'm stumped on the ceiling and the lighting. Critiques? More texturing on the sign? Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 Nice Chris, I like it a lot. WE ARE CREATING 1 NEW FORUMS TOPIC NOW. WE CANT MAKE IT INDIVIDUAL UNLESS WE HAVE OUR OWN BOARD AREA, IT WILL GET LOST. I am making one now. SUPER MARIO FILM (continued) Quote
