Sorry, but you're all wrong I'm afraid, the official title is "Portals" but sometimes refered to as "Turrets". I know this because I still have all the paraphanelia from when I visited "Neushwantien" (you know, the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" castle). A bit of useless info there

But I was playing around with main castle texture and this are 4 types of textures that I like best - you chose which you would like me to do.

1.

Two more pics of this texture:

I thought a portal was what you jumped through to teleport someplace. Portal's fine, who cares anyway as long as we know what we're talking about without having to think about it to long.

I tried to make most of the close ups centered around the drawbridge. So I think we need the most detail around the drawbridge and the outside wall nearby , with some detail in the courtyard because you may have to see inside. There's some longshots but the textured castle should be fine.

---

what exactly should be drawbridge?
are we gonna do it like on this reference pic:

Or you had something else in mind?

.....
Edit:
I'v done some work on the castle and uploaded it on Yahoo so you can see it...
You got to give me some C&C !

ps.-have you noticed the new filesize?

pps.- P_R7 - great voice sample you'r cool And you'r righ about you being best for Smidgeon! I agree 100%.... I havent decided which off the characters I'll do yet... just give me another 24 hours to study the parts more deeply (the ones you said I could do )

ppps.-(lol)- Dark Saruman ,(if you still remember him - he made the torch for tower) - he'll probably post his voice sample soon

ok, no more ps.'s lol

well... check it out, it's on yahoo now
(EDIT: Actually it seamed unpractical to put just bridge so I deleted just "bridge" I uploaded and imported the bridge into the castle.zip )

here is a screenshot:

I hope you'r learning something from looking at me fixing your models hehe
I'll fix 1000 models - as long as you keep analising your mistakes and keep improving your abilities as you do now
good work on the bridge btw!

I'm looking forward to Dark Saruman's voice sample.

feeg, sorry about your laptop! You can get some kind of USB soundcard designed from laptops from Turtle Beach, don't know how good it is or how expensive. But it's supposed to be better quality than a laptop's default card.

Monkey boy, is there any fighter jets in the movie? 'Cause I just made a fighter jet... usually models are made for a movie, not vice versa. But we might be able to put that fish under the bridge, or a transmap of him since he'd be underwater and visible only as a dark, moving shape anyway.

It's really a cool fighter jet.

The deadline for the actors to be cast is almost here, as Yahoo has probably reminded you. I think we'll probably have to move it, yes? And does anyone besides Mr. Smeagol have comments on my part?

Fish is cool, nice design... but it needs AA (antialiasing) and it lacks textures on flippers... and it has kind of funny face- maybe it needs mouth ? lol Put it on yahoo

dont count on me for annything the upcoming year guys.... im gonna rebuild what i have lost and try to get the money back what was spend on that stick......

---

Don't give up so qickly - have you tried to find the kidnapper of the mem. stick? As... where did you lost it and when and stuff...maybe you can find out who stole it or make a list of suspects or something?

You gonna rebuild what you have lost? you mean .an8 files? if that's so, I would go on and consider everything done b4 to be practice, and start making new models and new stuff instead of rebuilding all of the old stuff... just a suggestion....

It's like way better than any horse I could come up with !
BIG thanks to Syziph, and thanks to PR_7 for contacting Syziph!

About the horse: I noticed some small rigging bugs - but nothing I could fix, no way, if it was my horse it would have even more rigging bugs... lol, it's so small it doesnt matter anways - let's just hope it won't show up in anim8on... ^-^

About the texturing... do we need fur? ... I think maybe the fur texture will be good enough...

Another few things - the horse's hair is only half of it, like it should be mirrored along ...x axis?.. i think...
And the rigged versions don't have hair!... that's too bad... so now we have to import it and ad it to object & figure and rig the hair.

It needs reworking, texturing and the proportions may be off

He's already rigged it with a program he's writing but we'll probably lose the rigging texturing it.

EDIT: I just remembered, I have a terrain maing program that works REALLY well. If you guys want to look it up on www.d-grafix.com, it's called T.ed. And I could use it for this project if you like. unless you guys want to stick to useing Anim8or throughout the development process, then that make sense .
Anyways, I havn't finished reading all the pages to this topic, I'll need to though for the obvious reasons before I join.

One thing that I might be able to help in is textures. I own a lot, and I know where you can get free textures. Also, if this project isn't going to be selling (which I fully agree with) then I think a lot of my friends would be able to make textures for me to give to the project. Oh yeah, and just incase it matters, I'm 14 years old (Hope I'm not violating any rules with saying my age).

Anyways, I'll get back to reading. But would someone be able to post the script(s) or give a link to them so I could read them?

a riging program! cool! is it finished yet?
I don't se why would we lose rigging by texturing it... am I missing something here?

---

When you export it to UVmapper, i think it might change the point's numbers. Or else it's when you try to put it in the object that's attached to the figure... anyway. We'll find out.

I think the head is too wide. everything else looks good.

By "hair", you mean "mane" The thing on the neck? Maybe we could copy it or something.

I think it's cool too.

Welcome! There's no age limit, though we're trying to be mature and nice to each other. But that shouldn't be hard. We have been trying to keep to Anim8or for most things, but that might not be possible, what does everyone else think?

Blockbuster film? I doubt it. But thanks anyway.

Yo, Codfish!

Benney, the last version I have is .85. Sorry.

Oh yeah, I'm working on character concept art, the first is in my photo album on the Yahoo group.
