Just curious - which game codfish?

---

Well I dunno if you've heard of it... but the name is Far Cry its kinda old but I just bought it. It's an FPS(First Person Shooter).

Ok ty for the feedback and i'll post the texture ASAP!

Oh Ya and I would like to congratulate everyone on 21 pages of post!!! \/\/007(WOOT!)

How can I improve it? I think it would look good if I could apply a bumpmap of text or a bumpmap of KA's face on it. But I can't get the texture to apply correctly on the top face of the coin. any help wpuld be nice. The coins also look better when zoomed out. so they can be VERY low poly. However, like I said, more detail would be great.

About the Terrain texture. I couldn't finish rendering, I waited 3 days and it still hadn't finished, so I'm going to ask the creator of the program what the deal is, because a 1024x1024 texture takes 3 seconds to render, so why should something 2048x2048 take over 3 days? I could see, at most several hours. But not days! Welp, hopefully that will be figured out.

Thanks. My site needs posts!

P_R7,

I will look into it but if you find a way then please post in the forums

Everbody,

Mr.Smeagel any word yet? awaiting.
Edit: I did a google search and i think i know wat you are talking about mayb not. Not really sure. Are you talking about the bad and blury thumbnails? and if so imageshack does the thumbnails automatically so i have no say in it

Sunflash you coin looks it could be shinier, and mayb a little bit more rounded. But, do we even need the coin model. they are nto really used seeing as how the camera never goes inside the consultants office. you just hear the coins click from the outside if im not mistaken

The coin could be improved by subdivision modeling (my new favorite!) and better texturing. Actually something as small as the coin might not need subdivison, but it might be ok. Subdivision modeling is beveling and knifing subdivision objects to get sharp edges and super smooth everywhere else.

Madcrazy, I don't know photoshop, but in most advanced image editors you have different combine modes telling how the pixel information goes onto whatever's below it. For instance, a brush with "addition" brightens something by adding to the RGB values. Multiply will make the light parts transparent and the dark parts opaque, which works very well for UVMapping. Read your manual about how to do it, there's probably something in layer properties or whatever. Keep trying with the texturing!
You can think of anti-aliasing as a selective blur. Computers do very nice, smooth, shading, but the edges of the objects look jagged, especially in lo-res, cause the pixels are different. Anti-aliasing basically averages the edges to give you a nicer picture. You can set the modes in options, I think, and turn it off or on for each render every time you render.

This is pic with bicubic antialiasing:

I hope you understand now what is AA (AntiAliasing).
Now how to do it in anim8or:
go to --> mode --> scene --> render --> AA filter --> select "bicubic, 3 x 3 support" --> click "OK"
In any "mode", go to ---> file --> render preview --> select "Antialiased" before you render.

Sorry it took me so long I was bussy...
And I was working on the tower exterior - I think the upper part may be looking to futuristic... I dont know if you'll like it or not - I can change it if you dont like it.
here is the >>WIP<< tower exterior: DOWNLOAD HERE

Just put the .an8 file in the same folder with other tower textures to see the texture of the interior/exterior top upper part that was made b4 - just to get the proportions better ... I didn't even finish moddeling the tower exterior so that part (almost all) still has no textures.

Codfish - Far Cry, my friend has it - awesome graphics in that game... that many transmaps on trees... it's just WOW!...
[/off topic]

What is "ASAP" ? It's not on the wikipedia internet slang list...

About the coin - it low poly as it should be - nice , but the silver edge should be shiny gold, and it should be lighter and shinyer - And it definitly needs texture

I googled it a bit:

Sorry about that, a slight typo there, I meant to say "DON'T have to pay a penny"

Just upload your voice samples into the yahoo group site. Youl find a folder titled Audio. just create a folder in there with your name and then upload the samples into that folder.

BTW - Everyone... I have noticed that were about halfway so far as hosting space is concerned in the yahoo group so I'm gonna give you a choice of what to do.

1, I can download the audio samples to my hard drive and then if anyone wants the collection all they have to do is send me a request via email and I'll post them the samples via a file server. OR

2, I can create a sub group for just the audio samples that will not be visible to anyone outside the Anima8orMovieZone (it will mean you will have to become a member of that group aswell though)

I leave up to you guys (there's plenty of room on my hard drives for the collection and they will be safe).

One more thing - I have finally got animator running full blast on my new PC with plenty of room to spare. So beware I might actually try putting something decent forward for the movie LOL

oh yeah im goign away for the weekend. SO don't panic if i don't post bak for atleats 2 days. I hope i won;t have much to read when I get back.

Hey maybe I shoudl make a voice sample for woof if hes gona have an engilsh accnet. Unless someone else is already doing it.

well tata

P.S.: i hope everyone knows what i mean by "slapping over voice" for the dutchies who can describe it:"overslaande stem".

Yes, Mr. Smeagol, I'm downloading it, have patience! It takes a while before I get enough volition to move files from the Computer With Internet to the Computer With Anim8or.

OK... As some of you seem to be having problems uploading your audio clips, email them to me via ian.bennett73@ntlworld.com and I'll setup an online file host for them. Send you audio clips using the following file server http://www.yousendit.com/ and get them uploadeed to the file host which offers 2Gb of room and 100mb per upload max and all free. I will also see if I can set the host up with a password etc so that we can all it use so we can then upload/download both our own and other members clips.

I'll see about that YouSendIt later.

Mr. Smeagol, does your tower have a roof? I like it, it looks great.

The dragon is a bigger part than I expected what with the fight scene and all. I might make one of you guys with accents the Dragon, an accent would work on him.

Oops,
[URL=http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/AnimatorMovieZone/files/Textfiles/untitled Script2.htm]Here[/URL]is the correct link.

Yeah, look up. We've already pretty much decided that the actor to do wolf will use an american accent and sound young.

Speaking of woof, I found an error in the script. In the fight scene he calls dragon a "dog chauvinist." I had gotten mixed up and thought chauvinist meant somebody who hated a race or sex or group of people, but it means one who thinks his group is superior. Close but no cigar. It's a pity because i was going to have him mispronounce it "dog chow-vinist." I'm probably going to change it to specieist unless someone can think of anything funnier.

sunflash, that shouldn't be a big problem if we keep on our toes. As long as they don't auction off our files.

Sounds good. The more people we have rendering the better. As soon as we have something to render, that is.

That's is how it is supposed to operate. Yousendit is not a host but an email client. This way if you send me or someone else a large file we don't have to wait 10 minutes or more for our email to open. All we get is a notification that it is available for 7 days to download as and when we please. In my circumstances I run through at least 250 -300 emails per day and it is rather annoying when someone sends a large file over 2mb as a direct attachment because then it means you have to wait until it is finished opening before you get on with answering the rest of the emails.

Edit: BTW, Benney, if I want to e-mail you this is my primary e-mail: ayyub.omer@gmail.com
