Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've started to use it at the beginning of the year for the pirates shipset. Took me about three days to produce something. I'm still learning to use textures, it's the harder thing in the software, I think.

Like Atrocities, I'm starting to think that SE IV
shipset making must come to a end for me. That's why I believe this shipset will be a crowning achievement.

There are so many things available yet for SE IV (trying to make all these things available is a full time job indeed), and SE V will make all that obsolete and useless next year... having this in mind doesn't give much motivation to spend so much time on a shipset.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well said Trooper. And very nice ship indeed. I wonder how many people will make the transition from SEIV ship making to SEV? I hope to be in that club with you and Kwok(Spoogy).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hopefully Trooper will be around to do shipsets for SEV, i really enjoy his work! It's a shame that you're thinking of hanging up on SEIV because i know i'll be playing it for years to come

Glad to see that you're staying around too Atrocities! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Aside from the Star Trek mod, I'm also working on the replacement for the former Spoogy Federation (now known as the Juprup Federation) shipset as my final projects for SE:IV.

After that, I'm going to start thinking about Space Empires V and a potential mod I have in mind for it already.

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

By the way, what will be the format for SE V ships ? Will it be possible to convert graphics made with doga ? with bryce ?

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

Well, Starfury ships will be .x files (directx), IIRC, so one would assume that SEV ships will be the same.

There are plug-ins for many 3d programs to export to that format. If you can't find one for your program of choice there are file converters that can do it for you.

A question for the shipset designers: If you make a new shipset for Starfury or SEV, can't you also release that set for SEIV, since it's just a matter of rendering to a bmp? For that matter, if you've saved the 3d project file for a SEIV shipset can't you use that for the new games? Just curious. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Trooper:
Awesome ! Looking forward to see the finished set.

And more importantly: Good luck with that job thingy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

It seems it's impossible to export bryce 5 files to any other format. Too bad for the pirates & starship empire.
Perhaps you will see a spaceshark SE V Version, as DOGA L3 allows savings in .x format.

What software would you use to create .x file ?

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

DoGA of course http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Although I am learning how to use 3DS Max 4 and Maya.

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Personally, I'd use 3ds max since that's all I've got for 3d. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Most of the mainstream programs (Maya, Lightwave, ect.) can do the export either natively or through a plug-in. Bryce seems to be an exception, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif which is a shame since it can produce some amazing work.

Re: Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !
 

Trooper: i've just seen the set, awesome ships there! good idea, too.

What are you using? dont tell me its DOGA!
