sorry about my absence from the boards, i've been very busy lately, i've been taking graduation tests and the like, just ran into a MAJOR obstical. my liscence ran out on #ds Max and i have no way to re register for the liscence, so the animation has come to a screeching halt.

kid_happy: i do have a storyboard. it might actually turn out to be a little longer than that yes it will have sound, the voices might not be very good, because its just going to be me and some friends doing it, i might be able to use a synthesizer to get them right though... and thank you for the space marine. turbo squid just saved me a TON of time, i have almost every model i need, i'm just going to have to do some tweaks to the ones that i downloaded after i get the liscense straightened out.

Arhive555: i'll be sure to tell you if i need some help, but i'm working on the Asus Essentio, great proccessing power, fast and i have 24GB ram, it should go faster than most computers. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9366642&type=product&id=1218092150864

physcosamatic: this is just a preview, i'm not done. i have several thingsi'm going to do to the terrain.

progress so far, i have the backpack finished and the shoulder pads are giving me some trouble. but i can't work on it until the liscense agreement is fixed.

haha 24 ram... wth.

nie though.

Really sorry I didn't find this earlier, but had you considered using this:
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=116040 to extract actual models from DoW?
That way you have not just models of space marines, but also of necrons, as well as any vehicles, leaders, etc.

Not sure about their copyright laws though, so I'm not sure whether they'd let you use them or even if it's legal.
Either way, you could extract them and use them as a sort of 'subject' to model from.

Hope it helps, as I'd really love to see this project turn out well!

You really should also check out the community at Scifi Meshes. A simple search shows plently of 40K support.

Youtube has videos of some of the animation tests from people at Scifi Meshes.

guess what! the software is working again! i got bored of working on the space marine so i decided to start a necron warrior, this is what i have so far for the flayer.

archive555: one problem with that, i don't have DOW.

jabbakahut: thanks, i'll be sure to check it out.

i also just rendered this today, sorry about the lighting.

Hi
I'm new here and I'm really suprised those works. My favourite nation in WH40k are Space Marines and when I have free time I work on my model:




still a lot things to finsh and correct..

greetings

Everythings looking really cool. Can't wait to see it finished. When do you think that'll be by the way.

THX, for now I don't know when I finish it -hope until new year

looks cool definately can't wait to see it once it's done.

THX so much, will try to show it more advanced soon.
Greetings

This is AWESOME!!

Good work! Keep working! I would like to see some variation in the buildings if possible

I've made some corrections and add bolter.. still a lot of things to do and hope to work with textures soon

Dude this is going to be awesome i cant wait to see it finished.

well it seems some newb has taken over my thread while i was gone. any way, the animation won't be finished for a while, as i am the only one working on it, i'm about halfway finished with the necrons.

with the sm model, maybe beef up the power cords at the front and at the ingraved lines that power armour has? cant wait for more

physcosamatic - You talk about this?


gamefreak - have You done necron warrior? if yes, is possible to see it?

physcosamatic - You talk about this?

the straps, in the centre of the mk V chest plate



thats the idea your chest plate is heading? of the mk V straps and filter thing.

hope this helps

*cough cough* gamefreaks forum *coughcough*

exactly how i feel BoJangles, but it might be a while before i can start on this again, i have several architecture contests coming up, and my liscense for #ds max has run out, so it will be at least 3 weeks before i can get the money to puchase a new liscense for 3ds max, until then i'll use Maya, only problem is, i'm not as familiar with maya as i am 3ds Max. it may be quite a while before my next rendering post.

Gamefreak, is possible to continue work on demo version (or something like this)? Demo should give enough tools and options as licenceed. I know how hard could be to learn another soft interface. Is possible to see render of necron warrior?

My work stopped in dead point -no time to continue

The hands need to be bigger as well as the trim on the shoulder pads.

rofl didnt notice this was not his thread XD

i've tried to use the demo version, but it always seems to crash when i use NURBS and that is all i use in 3ds Max because ProBoolean doesn't work the way i want it to, it always makes anything that was initially round boxy, so i have to purchase a new liscense or borrow a liscense from some one, and no one i know will let me, but as far as the rendering goes, i'll do what i can, and as you see, i'm not on Dakkadakka very often

or what i did was download it and keygen. i advise people dont do this but just mentioning that it is possible.

Aside from the obvious reason why you shouldn't do this, most Keygens are also host to Malware, Spyware, Worms, Keyloggers, or any other hazardous Virus or Security Threat under the sun.

true good point! about 8/10 times i get one it does that

Hi
in long brake I've made some correction and decided finally choose Death Spectres Chapter.
Still a lot need to do -especially good textures. Hope to find time for it.



I want to make nice scene with terrain and background

Regards
