    • Who did the Models for EVN?

      Who did the lightwave models for EVN? I have a couple of questions for them:

      1 What are the major modelling tools that you used when you were modelling them?
      2 Where did you get the ideas to make the ships?
      3 Did you take any courses for lightwave? or are you self-taught?
      4 What version of lightwave did you use?
      5 How did you manage to texture a shiny, chrome material? Was it a image map? or just a surface?
      6 did you do the glow effects in lightwave? how?

      I know this may seem kind of stupid...but i am really interested in lightwave, and some of the stuff is just amazing.

      You do know how expensive it is, right? Anyway, lightwave is a really nice program. I believe it can do all of the effects used on the EVN ships. However, I smell an iMove to the developers corner. 😉

      Why don't you email ATMOS. _pipeline or Frandall, maybe?
      I'm sure they could help you...

      he knows how much it is... he has it! and so do I (evil laugh) I have version 7.

      Zombat: I think they used 6.5, but I'm not sure. I think pipeline did most of them, but I could be wrong on that one too.

      I would advise against that, poor blighters are super busy with Nova beta, I'm sure. I will leave this topic here until an ATMOS member sees it, then it can go over to Developers Board maybe. 🙂

      Seriously, if I could do that I'd be looking into getting a job at Blizzard.

      OK, now the moderators are wondering if they should move this to the developer's corner or to the gallery 😉

      I was on #ev3 once when pipeline was rambling on about motion blurs in LightWave. I asked if LW did motion blurs, at which point moki said "for $3,000 it better wipe your ass too"

      Cinema 4D? Lightwave? Maya? Damn you people with money to burn.

      Anyway, those are some nice ships, Zombat, you've certainly got skill. Though I would suggest that Dave is a little too busy right now to give you tips.

      Perhaps some people on the Developers Corner will, hence iMove. 🙂
