...Or maybe even updates tonight. What do you know.
So giant leap forwards in progress, and the really fun parts come next, tentacles, arming it, and making the legs longer (apparently)

Just a wild thing to try but do you have an older version of TS? TS 5 maybe? Try to load the scene into all the versions of TS you have. If one of them can handle it and then save it maybe that will repair the scene or produce a more informative error message.
Just for reference, I did try this - but it would appear that tS5 does not like tS6.6 .scn files and it wouldn't open. In all fairness, this isn't an extensive test, but I'm guessing the format isn't compatible in that direction, though 7.6 (and presumably 6.6) offer the ability to open/save earlier formats...
Anyway, I'm very glad to have been able to help. Looking good there Weevil - I am curios to see what you're going to do with this in terms of setting/context... |

Yes, 5 won't load 6.6 files, but I believe 6.6 did (like tS7 does) offer the choice to save to COB or SCN in an earlier format.
HTH!

Here I come again with the scenery, or part of it, this particular piece will be updated progressively. Does anyone know any seamless road textures? The one I've got at the moment isn't...I could really do with one |

Hold on, I got MaPZone2 Genetica studio beta (cuz it's free :p) and some DarkTrees. What resolution do you want, also do you want plain asphalt or with paint lines? What color paint lines? Middle and edges for lines, or just middle? |

Fantastic work Weevil! The street scene even at this early stage looks realy quite menacing and I just love the texture on the teddy bear. Is that a darktree? I think your going to blow us all away this month. |

I don't know about "title no 15" but this project is "Fantastic". I can't wait to see you put the pieces together. |

Thanks guys....unfortunately Truespace lost the lighting scheme I definately saved....then 2 seconds after crashed so I had to start again
Oh well, moving on up. Thanks for the offer Robert but I think I have that darktree...it just doesn't create the right type of road. Sorry man, I had to do a lt of jiggery pokery in Paintshop pro though. |

As always, very intriguing Weevil. Given the current theme of your designs should we expect some litter blowing in the streets in future versions? That would help reinforce that feeling of isolation that one often feels on a deserted road (especially in the city). |

What I was saying is I could've made something with genetica or mapzone to suit your needs specifically. If you have it worked out already though then I guess I don't need to bother. |

Good to know I read wha you write isn't it?
Okay then, go for it, I gotta say I've never heard of mapzone thought...lesse...
Can you get a road with just a white dashed line down the centre...maybe some double yellow lines too? Can you make the termac look old-ish so it's greyed and racked a bit?
As high a res as y'like
That would be so awsome |

Awsome
So update then...moving back to the walker...I'm just so not sure what to do with this thing or how to texture it...I'm feeling pretty lazy So here it is...Bog standard "dirty hack" procedure. Materials, not textures, let's see how it goes
(for the observant type...you may have noticed I've been replying for the past hour now...Truespace just didn't want to render) |

Sorry, couldn't get around to it today, lots of stuff to be done. Boo real life.:D Anyway I'll get to work on it as soon as possible. Meanwhile check out the mapzone stuff http://www.mapzoneeditor.com/index.php?PAGE=GALLERY.RENDERS as that's what I'm going to use. |

Great work again Weevil. Personally, I think that shaders (as opposed to textures) are the way to go for this particular model. Gives it a more alien like appearence and the green eyes really set the model off. Can't wait for the final piccie. |

Strangely enough breech you know my corridor scene? That's the only time I've ever used textures for a major object...like....ever, I agree it's very handy
@Robert...if you could get a texture like that...I would love you for ever man...
I may or may not finish this project...for a different reason this time...college work has become pretty heavy again and is crunching as assignments are getting piled on two at a time and I'm most likely set to be sorting that out until at least the end of the month. Which also sucks, because I'm spending a tad too long on a PC and none of that time is one Truespace! |

I started today, but my IB 12 Extended Essay Outline got in the way some as well as Spanish Vocab so I didn't finish working on it. Almost there though, will have a diffuse, normal, and spec map. I think that's all you'll need. If you think of something else to add let me know so I can add it. |

Interesting collection of elements here! I do love the texture on the bear, great to see that kind of effect done so well. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses along even more!

You can take your time if you want Robert, I'm not really going anywhere fast at the moment, but yes if you can produce all three of those maps, it would be so amazing
Thanks Tom, but sadly that bear needs some work, and the texture is to blame. I'm really hoping to make it nice though. |

Alright have one, the white lines one, check out the real-time example.:)
16375
I have the textures at 1024x1024 resolution. 16377
If you still want the double yellow line I can do that. If you think something looks off on this let me know what it is and how it's wrong so I can fix it.;) |

Oh wait. I messed it up, it's actually supposed to be lighter where the cars drive, and it should look more gravelly (sp?) and uniform then it does at the moment. Should be a quick fix. I'll probably still miss something though. :p But that's okay cuz since I'm still doing the tutorials I can always add to it. |

You sure? Do you still want the yellow lines? If you do I'm gonna make the fix with them. |

yes, actually, yellow lines might be useful, considering this is going to be a bridge (ive just decided), they might come in handy
cheers mate |
