Sigma W.I.P. Screenshots

Wow!!!

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That was a very very nice video. I was also glad that I got to see those asteroid/mineral thingies from another topic about translucent textures. I do hope you'll get them to look as you like, that will make your awesome mod even better .

Keep it up! .

Just some new wildlife to populate that map that I've been working on:

Spoiler: Exodines

 

[Terra_Inc]

Urgh, it has too many legs!

 

[Starfox1701]

What kind of life form is it?

What kind of life form is it?

They are called Exodines, and they are probably most relatable to arthropods. Essentially anerobic insects/arachnids/crustaceans that somehow developed in the vacuum.

Sweet! Now all you need to do is something based on the anomalocarididae.

(Honestly, the entire Burgess shale is weird as hell. You could probably turn half of those fossils into space monsters and almost no one would complain.)

Looking awesome mate, fantastic work.

 

[MrVulcan]

Amazing work! I can't believe that I haven't come across this mod earlier, I must have been kept in a cave very impressed with the quality of the artwork, and the imagination that went into creating it. All thumbs up The textures are just superb

Very curious to know how the uber-sized map objects work with pathing and gameplay. Gives the game an almost surreal or magical feel.

Are you thinking of animating any of the organic units? Or perhaps they are animated, but i didn't notice from the videos. Either way, the wildlife is a really neat addition.

Cheers

It's admittedly been a while since I've played, but I'm pretty sure they are background objects that sit below the playing field. I very distinctly remember a couple maps where there was a planet under the playing area that basically was the background. Planets that are actually huge is a really cool feature, by the way, TUN.

Some 6th Race ships:

Spoiler: 6th Race Ships

Very curious to know how the uber-sized map objects work with pathing and gameplay. Gives the game an almost surreal or magical feel.

They are just using the Starbase classlabel and have no pathing or collision. All the pathing and collision is handled by pathing blockers that can be put on maps in Fleet Ops.

I want to animate organic units but I don't have an SOD exporter for Maya that supports animations.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Those doesn't look like models for a game, they look like models for a tv serie or movie! .

Very amazing work .

And I hope you'll be able to get an exporter that allow animations too. Good luck and keep it up!.

 

[MrVulcan]

ooh, I didn't realize that there was a SOD exporter for Maya. If the source is available for this exporter, I might be able to add in support for animations. No guarantees though as I've never even used Maya, much less its scripting language. lol

Alternatively, if it is possible to convert animated models between Maya and 3dsMax, then the 3dsMax exporters can export out animated SODs. I can definitely assist with the latter if need be, just let me know.

 

[Styer_Crisis]

Tun, INSANE work as always. But if you don't mind, if you can find the time whenever, i'd love if you could throw up some more shots of the Ultra huge map object in the preview gameplay video. you just inspired to start modeling again.

The exporter I use is actually for MS3D. I model in Maya and then bring it over to MS3D to hardpoint them and export. By my understanding Maya's Mel script is similar to Max script though.

I'll gladly do another preview on that map. I hopefully should have enough new content for the 6th race and take them for a test run in a week or so. I'm glad I could inspire, inspiring people to work on things is always part of my goal.

Just some screenshots of the 6th race in game:

And a promotional poster I made:

Dude... You never cease to amaze TUN... :Y

 

[CABAL]

That poster is amazing!

 

[Starfox1701]

So when does the movie come out?

 

[Majestic]

Epic work, fantastic stuff.

 

[Dan1025]

Epic work as ever TUN, loving the look of the new race!

 

[Undying_Nephalim]

Some footage of these blue guys finally:

[Adm_Z]

WOW... That is soo cool man. I especially loved the asteriod thing you blew up and built a station around the crystal.

 

[Styer_Crisis]

that is awesome, Yu are amazing. And my stuff looks nothing like it. Solution? Give up modding and play sigma, thats the only thing left

 

[Adm_Z]

Work that is better than your own should not discourage you Crisis. It should inspire you to do better if you see it as that. I know TUN inspires me to work harder.

I know, i've been PM'ing TUN about adapting my work style, his work does encourage, i was merely making some jest

[Zelph]

Amazing job on that trailer man, got me excited to boot up my copy and play again! ...And then I remembered homework...curses...

Awesome! This definitely deserves to be more than a FO mod. Looking forward to learning more about the two remaining groups, they certainly are mysterious. And Kydora :x is just adorably nuts.

Though I have to say, that face thing at the end creeps me the F out. Are you trying to pull a Dunwich Horror in Space? Is the VRA secretly building an ancient space monster in the barn?

Nic job man
