[mreq]total Protoss Marine Conversion

xexe · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Lets try again</div> Ok after a 50 post debate we have come down to marines will be our next victim for a conversion.
We are going to hopefull get a team assembled and make a Protoss total marine conversion

So first of all i need some voluteers willing to do it now i am good at giving colour to black and white textured models and stuff and i will attemp some texturing and i will supply all ref pics so and i think Delarosa said he will help me in this.Well here is a list of people i need to help me

1)Animator (to animate the new protoss people and weapons)

2)A modeler( a one that doesnt rely on polys for detail and one able to do a good psi blade)

3)A skinner (just to give me some back up)

4)and maybe another modeler coz this is going to be big i will post some ref pics below

MalambisBZ · April 2003

You, are, for, any, because, and several other words are actually MADE UP OF MORE THAN 1-2 LETTERS. And even that aside stop making up random letter combinations in the future. I can barely understand what you are trying to say hmh sds f d y n sav.

Use 3ds Max if you have it. If not, use Milkshape.

NecromanZer · April 2003

um yeah ok i just wasted 800mb downloading 2 versions of 3dsmax that both had setup cab's missing grrrrrrr

so milkshape it is

Pariah · April 2003

Jamil asked in the other post as to what they could use as an acid rocket...well i found a model from when i played Sven Coop and HLDM that i replaced my rpgrocket with...and i feel it would fit GREAT with this...it was from an AVP rocket launcher set made for you guessed it...hldm and svencoop and was amazing, i dont have the readme anymore so im not giving this model out...ill find it and post credits when i can..just remember the colors stay perfectly the same no matter which way your looking at the model

NightCrawlerz · April 2003

everytime this topic sinks to the bottem cause hardly anyone likes it. He makes a new damn topic. the amount of work it would take to model a zeolot make custom animation wepons v models. thats alot of time. XeXe if you want to do it then more power to you. Milkshape can be found in the modeling 101 thread at teh top.

xexe · April 2003

ok Nightcrawler fair enugh but i would like some help so NecromanZer are u in ?
And if ne one else wants a part then just email me at mickohawk48@hotmail.com

Unleet · April 2003

Here's a suggestion for the Psi blade. Instead of modeling it, try making it a sprite (or a particle if you can) so it can be transparent/flicker/glow/ etc...

good idea we need it to be as trans parent as possible so it gives that feeling like it is a real psi blade so if u guys could put a reply saying count me on or something so i can write ur anems down adn plz put what ur good at

Thankyou u guys for ur suggestions adn ideas and plz leave a contact if u want to get involved

xexe · April 2003

ok now i have had a thought for the lmg we should make a plasma rifle just like the one from halo...

Now i will supply a quick concept drawing of one just so u get the basic outline and i willt ry and start to model the psi blade but it will be my first go

NecromanZer · April 2003

yeah im in. i'll do building and when i get enough confidence up i'll tackle some player models..

MalambisBZ · April 2003

This should be the HMG:

xexe · April 2003

ok here is a coloured pic of the plasma rifle of halo but we could change colour or whatever<img src='http://members.optusnet.com.au/xexe/plasma%20concept.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

xexe · April 2003

and here is a non-coloured pic but wiht more detail <img src='http://members.optusnet.com.au/xexe/plasma.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

MalambisBZ · April 2003

That's Halo, let's keep this StarCraft related.

This looks like a pistol or something:

xexe · April 2003

yeah i know it is halo but we need a lmg so we can use this as an example u know what i mean like make a differnet one just use that as a insperationt

xexe · April 2003

And here is a list of all the buildings so who ever wants to mdoel the buildings will have something to go from and we need to chosse which buildings are which<img src='http://members.optusnet.com.au/xexe/probuildings.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

NecromanZer · April 2003

yeah.....

tf=pylon
turet=photon cannon
cc= nexus
armory=<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
ip = warp gate thing

i was thinking make the zealot have a psi blade, when he fires lmg he looses off a blade or 50 like bullets- small charged particles
same for pistol but bigger

Or
TF = forge
Armory = shield battery or pylon <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
Arms lab = cybernetics core
Prototype lab = robotics facility or citadel of adun
Observatory = Well that observatory <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

NecromanZer · April 2003

nup, think about it - in SC a pylon lets u build stuff, what lets you build turrets in ns? a tf.....

Avenger · April 2003

I think that using the original ideas may be unsuitable, maybe people can design Protoss-like structures which can be used. This is because the actual Protoss buildings are huge, whereas NS structures are in a building themselves.

Does it really have to be just like in SC ?
I think forge would be the most suitable structure for TF.

But those structures are never going to be converted in NS, so i think this is pointless <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
