Modeling Head Hunt
« on: June 17, 2009, 11:17:16 am »
Hiya guys! Sorry, it's been a while since I visited the IRC channel with any frequency and even longer since I've posted on the forum. I'm still planning to release more Star Control ship info videos soon. The three main reasons it has been such a looooong process for me are:

1. Very little usable models have been donated to the project by (You Guys).

2. Since quality is paramount to any CGI I create, the process takes more time than I have to spare "Not being paid" for a laborious endeavour.

3. Rather than spend the time making all my own ships... I really wanted to pool the resources of talented artists who have already created such wonderful Star Control material.

The HEAD HUNT is on!

1- (Most wanted): Kris Hauser
 I really love the Supox.

2-Barak
http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sc3d/images/artists/barak/

3- Toni
http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sc3d/images/artists/Toni/

4- Gabooz
http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sc3d/images/artists/Gabooz/

Anyone able to help (find, contact, get models from) these people are urged to do so.

Keep in mind that I'm looking for the actual MODEL files containing the geometry of the SC ships. I'm not interested in images or scene files unless the images are maps for objects.
Anyone successful in this head hunt will have my sincere gratitude and will be rewarded with a (realistic) amount of custom CGI for any purpose they choose. This means YOU!

As always thanks for your time and have a great day!

Have you talked to Scott Irving? He set up the SC3D, it's not impossible that he has access to those files, or at least some contact information. There's a lot of weird stuff in the PNF archives.

Hmm, no idea about Kris Hauser I'm afraid, but I believe Toni still lurks occasionally on the EFnet #starcontrol channel under the name of X-Viila. Barak used to lurk there too, but I haven't seen him there for ages, although I will freely admit I'm massively out of touch there!

Last I heard at SB Gabooz was no longer with us. Sad

Since I now have source access, I'll go see if there is something in the SC3d archives that might interest you, if you still want this stuff?

So it turns out that while Amiga_Nut is perfectly willing to ask all of you guys to use your spare time to hunt models for him, he is nowhere as willing to share what he has got with the community or even reply to emails. Oh well.

This reads like one of my posts where I get irritated at some member of the forum for sucking. Watch your step. Before you know it you'll be burning bridges with everyone who looks at you the wrong way.

Heh, I guess I should take advice from people who know what they are talking about. It's just frustrating I guess.

Meh, if he doesn't want to answer he doesn't have to. He's got no obligations to me. It's a shame, I'd have dearly loved to get my hands on his models.

Hi,

I think I still have the models somewhere if you still need them.

Are you Korky? If so, we've got what you shared with SC3D a long time ago. If you've got more, than I'm eagerly listening.

Also it's an honour to meet someone from that far back.

Lukipedia sent me an email a while ago asking about models.  So I replied to him, but I thought there may be others that want my models.

Here they all are, they are open source, and you can redistribute and change them any way you want.  They are also low poly, and for the most part pixel colored instead of textured.  I did this because I want to have massive amounts of ships on screen at a time in my game.  Also because, the texturing tools I found were too time consuming and painful to use... Perhaps I'll design something myself sometime.  ***dreaming of having unlimited time***

http://starcon1-5.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/starcon1-5/models/

I made them in wings 3d, because it is awesome and free.  Also I used blender for the pixel coloring, because it is clunky but more fully featured, and free.

You know, I swear I've been called that lots before, but the forum search only brings up two instances of misspellings. Weird, I must be getting old. Anyway BigRyan, as I told you in the mail, big thanks.

Yes, I called myself Korky in IRC a while ago  Smiley
Anyway, I did the following models which you might find useful, I'm not sure what you have and what was on SC3D:
Chenjesu, VUX, Kzer-Za (old model), Spathi, New (well.. 1999 it or so new Smiley and detailed Kzer-Za (which I'm not sure if you have), a sort of galaxy or something.
All these models were done for 3DSMAX and used some plugins and post processing which I'm not sure if exist any more.

So, if you need any of these, I'll dig around in my old cds and send them.

Hmm, SC3D has the Chenjesu, VUX and Spathi. When you have time, the Kzer-Za and Galaxy would be appreciated. Don't dig them out just yet, I'll check quickly with Scott Irving in case he has them squirrelled away somewhere.
