We need to make a big list of scenes which would have the "models used in this scene" list by every scene.
- after we made that list we have to organise our models not by moddeler's name but by scenes name. ( and make the folder "multiple scenes models" - and make some shortcuts into certain scenes folders for "multiple scenes models model" that is in that folder - for the scenes who need such models. for example my tree is certanly going to be multiple scene model - along with most of the caracters.)
well - we need to organise better as you see- but we also need to finish the whole script first. (hey PR_7 - dot make the rest of the story tooo long) because it takes ages for us to do this project
-unless offcourse even more of people would join us comon peple! if you help your name will be in the credits! ...he he cool!

Is there a headquarters for this movie on a different website?

I dont know.

You should get ZS4. It doesn't really have a manual but it's about 50 times better than WMM. I would volunteer to do the editing myself, but I have a slow modem, so that makes getting 1024*768 clips hard.

I vote we do the movie in a high resolution. 1024*768 sounds OK. I keep putting off getting the Divx Codec, but that sounds good too.

Credits souunds good. But let's produce a movie before we start worrying about credits?

And the starwreck are just tooooo god example!

And are we gonna need the lightsaber? I finished it and textured it:

now it look more like metal and more detailed as well.
I'm still working on the tree - and making much progress - I managed to optimize it to 195 kb zipped. nice optimizing don't you think? it was going to be 2MB otherwise.
And if i get the texture tiling uv right the textures will be less the n 100kb, instead of 3MB.

________ _ _ _ _ _ _
Edit: The tree is completly finished and optimized I uploaded it to Anim8orMovieZone check it out. It has 619 Kb At first it was going to be 3MB and it took 60 seconds to open it. now it opens in 5 seconds And it's low-poly/detailed now (but you have to look very careful to notice the low-poly part )... and it has few almost ivisible uv-maping bugs. It looks preety much the same as b4, I re-did the bark texture and UV-mapping...

I suck at makeing humans so i'll sskip that part

Glad you like the idea but I'm not quiet sure what you mean when you say "take the website for ours".
I've been doing some research for a download host for the finished film and found this:-

MEGAUPLOAD

http://www.megaupload.com/

There is no registration and no fees.Basic use requires no registration and is free of charge. There is nothing to install and no special software required. All you need is the browser you are using right now. A file can be up to 250 MB. We will host your file forever for free, until it is unused for 30 days. If nobody downloads your file for 30 days, it is automatically deleted. Your file is available for download here at Megaupload 24 hours a day and seven days a week. We are always open and here to serve.

----

So essntially if any one of us keeps downloading the movie within the 30 day period then it could be there forever and not cost us a penny.

I like the idea of basic headmesh - I'll volounteer do some caracter if I have basic headmesh, after I finish the tower, But it's not that urgent. If you ask me - the most urgent things are completing the script, then making model list, then making environments - interior & exterior,...

The megaupload... only 30 days??? that's too baaaad..., ...I think we need to find a better hosting place.

I agree with everything- Movie first, site later, except for upload sites.

Nice head. Modelers, work on characters! Costume ideas are in my album at the Zone site.

Couse that way it would consume 30 times less memory. And you didn't include the texture... But it has good shape of a bat.

Well I am just an extreme junior when it comes to the 3d world but a proffesional when it comes to 2d and the true art (pencils, pens and paints) and music world, so I am just learning from you guys the in's and outs of 'Anim8or', and whilst you guys teach me I am trying to return the favour by creating the music for this endeavour. Thanks for your honest comments and they are dually noted and rammed into my little brain .

You say 3 minutes. It took me 3 hours (It just proves that I still have a lot to learn about 3d).

BTW - There is no texture with it I just thought someone might find it handy? Ah well, (silly me )

How about instead of going with the archetypical lightsabre (which I believe is trademarked by Lucasfilm anyway) we have something like a sword handle with a fold up hilt and a blade that forges itself out of the blade? I drew a picture, but I lost it. Basically you have a handle with a folded up hilt on it, and when you push the button, the hilt unfolds, a thing slides out of the handle and snaps into place, and molten metal comes out, forming into a blade and cooling quickly. And you can make the blade molten during a fight to crash through shields, and light the blade on fire, and all kinds of cool stuff.

I'm beginning to have ideas for the dragon fight, but having trouble linking them together, much less drawing them. I do know that PC has two blades, one idden in his boot. Dragon gets over enthusiastic or mad and knocks away his blade, PC pulls out the other in self-defense. Their fighting styles are: PC is trying to tire D out so they can "talk this over", Dragon is trying to look cool while not actually hurting PC, until he gets overenthusiastic or mad. [can't decide which.] One of the moves I have in my head is PC doing a stab/lunge, shoulder height, and D sort of doging and twisting into a C shape. And of course, Pc will do cool dodges, like using his sword like a vaulting pole, except he does a handstand on it instead of a traditional vault; to dodge over D's swinging tail. I think he will rip something off the wall to use as a shield against D's fire as well, and maybe do some actual sword blocks against D's claws.

Well, that post is long enough. Can't wait to hear the next song, I hope it's one of the action ones!

EDIT: I finally had a great idea for the final scene! It involves my molten sword and a dried out cake of zit cream... I'll tell you later. Right now I have to figure out how to transistion into it, but THAT will be easy compared to thinking up the ending. Do we really NEED robots in the castle (suits of armor, or otherwise), cause if not, I don't have any reason to put them in, though I could use them n the transition.

For the trailer, we could use the audio from that scene outside the dragon cave, where they are talking about all they had to do just for a publicity stunt, with visuals of them doing it and music from the montage. Reread the scene if you don't know what I'm talking about. Of course, that wouldn't be the ENTIRE trailer, just the beginning or middle.

EDIT AGAIN___ __ _
Maybe the robots could gaurd the gate and instead of "friend or foe!" say "customer or competitor!"

Keep in mind that this is NOT the FINAL DRAFT, i'm going to go through, clean it up, shorten it, change a few lines here and there.

So, download and read it, enjoy! I'm taking suggestions, but I'll probably reject most of them that change the plot, make it much longer, or I just don't care for. After all, it's MY script. [Just kidding.]

EDIT: Found and scanned my sword pic. It's in a new folder in the zone.

[This message has been edited by P_R7 (edited 01-26-2006).]

The molten blade sword concept look cool
But... -Does that mean we are not gonna use my lightsabre? ...Well - I guess I could do molten blade sword insted.... After i finish my tower. (I'm making nice progres - I'll post wip-screenshot soon)

I'll read the draft script as soon as i get time

Also I downloaded the program makehuman - and you can really make good pro characters - but it just seems like cheating that we take credits for that... Anyways - anim8or doesn't want to import the .obj exported by makehuman.
