I'm not familiar with animation work but I was under the impression that in order to render a scene you have to write a script for the camera etc.

Well.. max is very flexible so it could be hard-coded with a script or done in 3D with Animation Keys so dosnt really matter i guess :).

Since we don't know the exact co-ordinates for each camera position, we'll have to just guess with keyframes and sketchup, unless sketchup isn't needed anymore for some reason.

Yes it could were he on board.  Has anyone contacted him?  Or has the OP continued work on texturing?

Hummm, have you considered remaking the fmv's? I think that with your skills you'd be able to atleast go through some type of winding motion from where Aeris is to the point of the bombing mission.

Also, 3 years... Man, that's an INSANE amount of dedication.

Are your models backed up? If not, then copy them onto a USB stick or external hard drive; you wouldn't believe how many people on these forums have lost all of their work because they didn't keep backups and their hard drives failed.

Sorry for the bump.

This model has been discontinued, a new one is underway.

Not only cause the .max got corrupt but also the geometry was a mess due to this being made in a program different from 3ds max. I will now be making it 100% purely in 3d Studio Max.

I'll continue posting updates here when avalible.

Well, as promised.

I started on the station so I could just merge the whole thing when I'm done, but it's a start hey?

I agreed to let Spoox handle Midgar however.

No Midgar is complete without the station in view :P.

But this will merely act as a template for so when I start the station in the long run, I will have something to work off and least the hardest part is done. That thing is rather complicated for me *-*

Well I'm starting on the Central Complex now, from the very top since it's a pain in the ass to build.

Okay, another station shot. Yes I know I work on to many projects at once but ohwell :).



I started a W.I.P Flanking Tower, these are also a pain to make for a very weird reason, because they are actually very weird.

I was to lazy to crop the image so... Sorry about the size.

Well that's actually 3 monitors, working in 3D with dual or triple monitor is especially great and so much quicker and easier. I really don't think I can go back to a single monitor anymore.

For kicks a picture of my setup.






I've had a sudden burst of inspiration causing me to want to work fast :>.

Off-topic: I'm guessing Intel has some type of "cool and quiet" because your FSB is only half speed. Why isn't that overclocked? All Sandy Bridge CPU's should be no less than 4.2ghz :P

On-topic: Since you are modeling midgar. What happens when areas of the plate are modeled? Are you going to add them to your model? Or just say "to heck with it!" Since you only really need the midgar plate in two or three scenes.

Well i7 dosen't have an FSB most are unlocked and unbuffered so you can do as you want. And I have a thing against overclocking never liked it :P.

Well I will be making the entire Midgar whether I like it or not, I will also want it for personal use maybe in a portfolio or something but at the moment I have no real lead on that yet sorry. I will let you know asap though!

Well here it is, the Mako Reactor.

I will try to get in contact with Millenia or someone to texture it for me.

Any offers?
