Its me again :)

The Anakin Podracer looks great in game, still needs some tweaking by mr. stotto. I compared it to duncan's sebulba pod, and I decided I didnt like it, so Im making a new Sebulba Pod that will be more detailed. Also included will be Teemo, Gasgano, and Quadinaro's pods (the four engines pod).

Screenshots will be soon. I have half of them completed.

Thrawn, did Gasgano have a cameo in Men in Black? I think not :D. Also Hatrus the Sebluba pod thats out now is just fine. You dont need to go and make a new one.

you're doing many vehicles actually done i see, AT-PT, AT-TE, Sebulba's Pod, Republic Ship, and more to come, most probably youll do a naboo starfighter or a snow speeder lol j/k :p, well, i hope seeing screenshots of the pods soon ;)

the at-pt is for my personal collection, i have secret plans for it hehehehe. the at-te has yet to be released by psycho, and the gunship by mars is not licened to modification by the public. i am doing a n-1 naboo bomber, you can find a concept model of it on tfn. im doing a sebulba pod cause the ones thats out now is not to my taste.

you might can get some sneak peaks of the pods from madcow, or zappa if you cant wait. but i wont release any pics publically till ive made and skinned all the models.

some one better let sjc know he needs to update his boonta eve map.

great now scout trooper will have reason to accuse me of being a thief again cause he dosent understand that in the real world of 3d jobs, taking a week on a single model gets you behind on your projects. modelers learn ways to decrease their modeling time, and a good modeler can decrease his time by 50% of convention (self-learned) modelers. i have a 3d education so of course i have learned ways to over come time constraints and methods of efficientcy, and to get to the point, I dont appreciate some people telling me Im a theif because they've never seen someone model that fast before. so what if no one here has seen someone so fast before, most of the ppl here do modeling for a hobby, not as a career. Im getting sick of the emails and PM's telling me Im not wanted, or that I'll never replace Duncan. Well I dont want to replace Duncan. I want to be "me!" And I want, strive, live for, succeed for all of my works I release to be better, and they will be. So leave me alone before I quit!

Don't let people like that get to you... You are probably the first person I've seen on LF who has a job doing this kind of stuff. I know you're the first I've seen. There is a way to ignor people on this frum.. I'm not sure how you do it though... (it's a forum option not a mental thing).

You should keep at it no mater what others say though. You're getting things done that alot of people have been waiting a long time for.

Textures on Anakin's pod need major work, and the "nose cones" on the Quad engines have really overstretched textures. Overall, nice work though.

:eek: many sick ppl, i personally appreciate you more than duncan cuz he never helped me with the AT-PT (he didnt have to of course), but when the model needed just a stupid solution like reset xform he said he didnt know what was happening to the AT-PT, and then the skiner of Duncan, Scoutt, didnt did the skin of my AT-PT when he told me he was going to do it. (a conspiracy to be the AT-AT the first walker released i tell you!!! j/k http://www.lucasforums.com/images/smilies/xp.gif) ) also i think it would be nice if i added, or someone some animation to the pods to make them dont look very static.
Also that Matt of the TNT web is Matt Liell?? :confused:

First off I would like to say to all the people sending Hatrus these PM's, you are the noob, loser and we at LucasForums do not want you here. Go back from where you came from. Secondly Hatrus turn your PM system off, dont give these sorry SOB's the pleasure of sending you comments. People like Duncan, Mars, monsoontide, etc will not be forgoten. They will always remain as great people as they are. And as for Hatrus replacing them,
he wont. Hes only trying to take this game to its full protential and add new stuff, but you noobs cant see that. Hatrus listen to what Ninja, lil killa and the others have all said, do not listen to these noobs, they do bring you down sometimes, but it is not worth quiting for those idiots. If you only quit they win, thats what exactly what they want you to do. So get back up and start modeling, we will show these noobs whose the boss!

ok you got my attention. im gonna continue and release my work. thx for the encouraging comments, its good to know some people appreciate the time ive put into all this (not that I didnt want to). Im just not used to being praised this much for doing simple modeling work. At my job I do much more complex things and Im used to being told "looks ok but i want that tank done by monday or else...." Im also not used to being put down like this. Its like everything I do never pleases some people. I want to please everyone and I will need your help to make my models come to life!

I would just ignore them and get on with your work. They can't stop you moddleing and they don't have to d/l your moddles when you are finished with them. I would say these poeple are unfair pricks with terrible grammar who just want to make it hard for the newcomer.

PS: BTW I love your work and the ignore button on your profile was made for a reason.

PPS: I think you should modify that post and put up all the encouragment. It would help get over all those hate mails.;)

PPPS: don't give in!:)

Terrible grammar you say? Please do not be a hypocrite.

Hatrus, forgive my language in the next few sentences. Those dumbass idiot mother****ers need to shut the **** up, cause it isn't like they can do better, and they are jealous, and...they don't believe that anyone can be f*cking better than Duncan_10158.

I merely ask for some of their names so I can't hunt them down on the internet and abuse them like they tried to abuse you. They are pathetic hateable scum. I'm sure a few of them are modellers, maybe even above average modellers. I dunno.

:fett:


Edit- Keep up the good work Hatrus, and thanx for the help with my models.

thx revan, but i think i got it taken care of for now. i got them blocked from my pm and my email. no more nasty letter from them anymore.

update on the podracer project: I wont say how many I will release because I really dont know. Im gonna make them until I get bored with pod racers. I have 10 planned right now, but I also am making a custom pod for zappa, stotto, myself, and one or two others i havent decided yet. when it comes time for me to post all the screenshots, im only gonna post the main render of each pod cause there will be about 130 pics total (6 or more renders per pod).

I never said anyone was better than anyone in my post... I also know I never named any names besides Hatrus' name.


EDIT:: I feel stupid for asking what seems like an obvious question but.... What has Duncan ever done? I've heard the name but that's about it....

update:

i really appreciate all the support and encouragement you all have given me. it really lifts my spirit up when i feel down and like im ready to quit. i come here and read your replies and i tell myself that people are counting on me to succeed adn i will never let them down as long as i have the ability to model. i will never quit for you guys and i hope i will never let you down! i WILL succeed!

also

i need someone to bone, animate, and export my pods! my current animator is just too busy to work on them so i beg you guys (on hands and knees) for help! i also need sounds for the pods. anyone that wants to contribute sounds from ep1 like: pod racer engine sounds, announcer sounds from the boonta eve stadium, and some others. you will get credit of course. email me at themadrapper@hotmail.com or msn me at that address. hope to hear from some of you soon!

ps: whoever animates for me gets their own custom pod designed by yourself!

I'm thrilled you're still modeling after all those comments.

and if you need help skinning I can do a 'decent' job at it. I can't model orapply shaders though = / just skin and other small misc. stuff.

dragon1warrior@msn.com just e-mail me if you need something skinned. though I'm not great.

Why do people have to fight and have a popularity/attention getting contest whenever somebody good comes along? I don't get it.

If you're in this "scene" (mod making) you have to put up with a certain level of idiociy. But threatening to quit after some hostile comments from ignorant people?

Well, good luck...

Anyway, can we settle down a bit? The whole point of doing this is for fun, and it's not like there's a rule about how many people can be out there making decent mods for the fun of it...
