Kameloh Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Or you can just manually draw one yourself and color it through Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro.
Yupa Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 http://blender3d.org/ Blender, the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback (see the features and screenshots). Available for Windows, Linux, Irix, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD or Mac OS X under the GNU Public License. Here you can download Blender 2.37 for all platforms. Sample rendering: If you happen to have/get a copy of Bryce, though, there is a nice premade thing ZigNotZag made which will generate all the appropriate angles/top-down images for you.
specture_lance Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 you can draw shipsets, i drew a b2 stealth bomber for ship 8
Yupa Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 uhuh...but you specifically asked for (amongst others) 3D software recommendations
specture_lance Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 where do i get the program known as bryce?
specture_lance Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 i am totally confused because 3d blender is not installing correctly
specture_lance Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 could anybody give me as many ship work tips as they can possibly give to me?
Kameloh Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Sketch it, color it, and rotate it. That's the fastest way you can create a custom ship.
Samapico Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 If you happen to have/get a copy of Bryce, though, there is a nice premade thing ZigNotZag made which will generate all the appropriate angles/top-down images for you.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There should be one that renders all the shiproll images too... that would be awesome...
specture_lance Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 bryce eh, may i have a way to get a non infected copy, you cant trust many downloads nowadays =)
GENERAL_SLAYER Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 draw it on defalt paint? or should i get that paint pro stuff. is that downloadalbe?

Yupa Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 wonder if he'll modify it to do rolling images like Zig's, that'd be the ultimate
CommieCausey Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Actually it costs more resources to load jpg/png/gif for Continuum. However, memory and resources are cheap so unless you're stupid enough to have 50MB of graphics, it's likely not to matter at all. The slowdown might be like 1-5% and only when loading them. If PriitK was not an idiot, there would be no difference at runtime.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> this is kind of old but i felt the need to come to PriitK's defense since no one else did. unlike bmps, gifs and pngs are compressed images. bmps are bitmaps and can be loaded into memory and then directly displayed on the screen. pngs and gifs have to be loaded into memory, decompressed into another memory spot as a bitmap which is saved for later, drawn, and the original file data freed from memory. there really isnt a way around the extra steps and its not PriitK's fault. the loading time comes from having to decompress the bitmaps into ram. pngs/gifs advantage of compression is only on the hard drive not in ram. someone else said that bmps take up more space in RAM? is subspace like that? i am thinking they meant the hard drive.

»SOS Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Actually I was not implying that PriitK was stupid or anything, I was saying that he's not stupid and that there's no real difference at runtime. But I guess my wording sucked.
