Ok everyone, a while ago back on the ole' realtimestategies forum rodzilla said he would make a blend to pie converter for us... I don't know of he is still around, but I finished the model I was making, and here are some screen shots.

now, if anyone doesn't like it tell me what and I will change it to the bestof my ability...

oh and if anyone wants to texture it for me, I will send you the blend file, or any format you want...

hmm...could you put a radar on the top... because when you build your base thats when the map comes up and the base acts like a radar

p.s. it looks v.nice

actually that ring around the top - that is the radar = planar radar.  dont need no  .avi files.

rush: Cool work! Looks really great!
Now we just need someon to paint a texture for it.

I haven't looked at the code yet, but ain't the radar a radar-part like the one you can put on your units?

geuss I could make a dish type radar, but as coyote said I kinda had it internal...

I shall see what I can do.

Yes, I recall when Rodzilla said that, we had a few models, but you can't forget the other part of the deal...

He wanted a texture he did say he didn't care whether the texture was any good... just as long as it was a texture That's where we fell short last time...

Anyway, looks nice...

Good job.

Ben

grizzly is your name ben? cause... well mine is too, or did I tell you sometime..

anyways, I will try my best to texture it using an image map....

Yeppers, My real name is Ben

well, I have spent the greater part of 2.5 hours UV unwrapping....   and I have never UV mapped, or unmapped for that matter before,so I was following some 3 tut's....  I got most of the stuff to unwrap successfully... still got some tweaking to do, but you know how long that can take.

I was wondering if anyone would like to texture it for me, or should I take a stab first then you guys comment...?

Here is how it is so far:

I think I finished organizing the UV windows, now on to learn how to make some nice looking textures fit well into distorted areas....

concrete texture for the base

tarnished aluminium finish for the ring

stainless steel for the rest.


my 3 cents.

What about the blend converter? does it exist already or do we need to wait for rodzilla?

--Ano

rodzilla, is he around still?

yes we would have to wait for him or someone expierienced with python to write a nice little plugin for blender....

ok i will look into concrete, aluminum +steel...

Okay, I started this last friday....  and sadley because I couldn't post I felt like Ishouldn't continue, lol

so here it is as of now:

I have the sides done, or I should say rouged in... Iwill proceed to rough everything in from a few pictures I nabbed off the net...then I will up the resolution to 300 dpi or something and do some fine texturing work...

it turns out the hardest part of texturing UV is laying out the mesh in a usable manner. So the hardest is behind me...

tell me how you like it so far.

I knew python a long time ago (a year?) . i tryed to create Multiplayer Lobby for TA spring .

I have no idea of the Plugin Structure of Blender, but if really no one with more experince will do that, i can see what i can find out
