Update on progress so far

Couple of people have been good enough to register on the forums, cheers Blink

I've also been in touch today with CCP community reps, to see if there's any chance anyone in there art department may be interested in contributing to our project. *fingers crossed* on that one.

My personal short term aims within the group will be, get to grips with Hexagon and get a simple ship modelling tutorial out there, also to look into the resources CCP publishes for public use and how we can best make use of them.

So lets be about making some Eye Candy shall we, I could do with a nice sugar rush Twisted

Also Nova how did you find that Hexagon Zip , any use to you?

I'm always willing to lend a critical eye to anyone who specifically wants it, or help with more general (non application specific) modeling techniques.

K guys sorry I haven't been posting for a couple of days I've been a little busy.

Will most likely be busy for the next few days after which I should have some more time to devote to this.

My advice would be join the forums, settle in, get to know each other, I'll start the flow of turtorials as soon as possible.

/edit to those who have or who are going to join the forum, please note it is also open to another section of the ARC my alliance in a RTS browser game, thats what the shoubox and other sections are for incase there is any confusion . Blink

Omu Matol Repo. Likes received: 10	#48 - 2012-03-06 16:45:51 UTC Anybody know how to extract the background seen in the game? I'm assuming they are cubemaps, just not sure where to find them, or how to manipulate them so they can be rendered. I guess I've found a few, but they seem awfully low res.

I haven't forgotten you all don't worry, just been a little busy indulging my love of browser RTS's. Twisted

Plan is to try and knock up a tutorial on doing an Osprey in Hexagon.

Also would be interested if anyone has any linkage new or old to dev blogs on the subject of EVE's art side.

I've Pm'ed one of the Community reps at CCP see if they can shed any light on the subject, it's the weekend though and I've no idea how busy they are at CCP HQ, but hopefully we can track the info down sometime soon.

Nice mate - Was hoping to do some 'stuff you don't see ingame' things myself, Suppose a lot of that will depend on the SFX funcionlity in the software suite .

I'm watching this thread too in the hopes of additional motivation- I have a self-learning project going on, end result should be just simply an Eve ship wallpaper with a rendered model, final composition in Photoshop.

I've always wanted to "crack" 3D, mesh modelling is easy and fun but texture maps and rendering feels a bit overwhelming at the moment.

So, count me in, I guess :)

OK Update so far

As I say I was hoping to get this little project up and running fairly quickly , unfortunalty the best laid plans etc....

Been up to my neck in it for the past 3 weeks with other things unfortunatly.

I have finally made a start on a basic box modeling tutorial for Hexagon though and hopefully I should have something for you all by the weekend.

Thanks for your patience all and once again I apologise for the unforseen delays
