I managed to do a lot yesterday. I finished what I wanted to do, so today I was going to play EVE and make isk. I made enough to buy another PLEX in one hour by selling a couple "Skill Injectors". Big smile


I finished my character with input jack on her neck and finished my jumpsuit.

Couple images of her.

I did something else in the hanger area. I will not keep them there, instead I will place a few around as I build up my walls. Each level on these is 9' high. The rectangle on each level are windows from different rooms.

Now I will not be posting for a couple days. I need to think of what to do next and rebuild that structures I made since I'm satisfied how it turned out, but there is a error at the very bottom and each level is not divided. (Not sure if I will do that or not)

I decided I would start putting in a little time making a "Clone Bay" as I work on my "Hanger Bay".

I will be redoing the Bio Beds. I did not like how they are turning out, but I do like how the cloning chamber is turning out.


The very start of what will be my "Clone Bay"

Did more work on the Clone Bay Today.

I added a clone to the cloning chamber as well as animated bubbles. Then I started to make her clothes for in the tank.

I made up the door for the tank.

Here is how the cloning bay looks so far.

Here is temporary paths to give you an idea of what I will be working on next.

So much more needs to be done on everything.

Well, I am going to watch a movie and relax. Then I will work on the hanger bay some more.

I did a lot of random stuff, including looking at dust images for personal weapon designs and combat suits. Saw some nice ones and choose which ones I'll be arming my character with. I mostly worked on the clone bay area though.


Let's start with the bio bed I'm rebuilding and still got lots to do, but here is where they transfer the clones from the clone chambers to be check over before being hooked up to the mind transferring device.

I also did the layout for the piping for the chambers and a plug on top of the chamber for a power coupling to be attached to each chamber. I did not get an image ( I thought I did). You can see them in the next image. (Far left, bottom row is one of the plugs. The piping you can see clearly).


Arrow Updated Clone Bay Vision.

(When I say clone bay, I mean the chamber section. This room is four times larger than what your seeing right now and I might make it bigger if I need to.)

http://i65.tinypic.com/6gvat5.jpg



This is the very beginning of the combat suit and I will not show it again for a while. I have scrapped it three times already and might have to scrap this one too.

I was not going to show it yet, but you get to see my character in her regular eyes, which I have not shown at all.

Here's what I'm am going to attempt to make.

http://i64.tinypic.com/2mxn81z.jpg


I will not be back until Monday. Everything in my head right now to do on the project is going to be a little tricky for me and will require a lot of modeling before I have anything else to show. So, have a great weekend.

Managed to be very active this weekend in the forums and got quite a bit done on this chamber area of the Clone Bay Today.

First I had each tank six feet from each others center, now I have them grouped off. It makes it look cleaner and each group of two will have one female and one male clone in it.

The group of three in the front of each row will be reserved for my main character clones for fast retrieval.

http://i64.tinypic.com/abht1z.jpg



I rounded off the arch in in pipe leading to the top of the chambers some more.

I added windows to the clean water pipe, in case I ever want to show the water going through, I will always have the option without redoing it later.

Everything has separate materials on the piping parts, I just have not chosen any yet.

http://i68.tinypic.com/2i6e0sg.jpg



How the chamber area looks so far.

I made changes to the floor and made the hallways wider and added some more room between the center chambers.

I have chosen my material for the walkway. (Keep forgetting to turn the lights interaction with the floor off before rendering, next time).

Other than some very fine adjustments I have everything set as guides. I needed to have everything positioned right because I am making the walkways as a single object on each level.

Arrow Here's the male clone I have for the clone chambers. I will have him done shortly.

I did more on the Clone Bay. I will show it next time when it is completely finished in the chamber area.

I starting messing around with some animations and just having some fun.


Here is one that I'm making and not messing around. (Watch the eye's)

https://youtu.be/LumJUTd2p0g


Just testing the timing for the eye's and I am happy with the eye's now. I need to make the rest of the scene before I can determine her starting pose, since I will have some animation before this part. I also need to find a good transition for the arms. I will not be keeping the arm movement in the video.

Today I decided that instead of finishing up my chamber area of the clone bay I would do some more work on the outside of the Citadel. Lots more to do, but coming along.

I leave on all the window lights, but later I will be able to turn on and off different lights.

I am going to eye ball this for a while, watch a movie and come up with some ideas.

I tried to get the Phoenix to look the way I see it in my head (Fire and Energy kind of look), but I am having no success with it yet. I might need a plug-in. If it is expensive then I will have to do some creative things to simulate the look myself.

I am working on a separate project this week. I was not going to make this for a while for this project, but since I need the same thing for both projects, I got something done on this project today.

Check out the start of my hologram girl

https://youtu.be/9NmhsuiYDwk


Still got to tweek the settings a bit or possibly redo it over again, but with an idea what I going for this time.

Actually I will provide a pic as well.

I started over and finished my Hologram Girl for the most part. I just have to fine tune the particles and I want to calm down the pattern going through her face, from and distance or a certain angle it does not look like a face.

Just for fun I put my character into the scene

http://i64.tinypic.com/2cppa91.jpg



I made my final materials for the pipes and completed the walkways in the chamber area of the clone bay. I just need to make a way to get to the different levels, which I have a couple ideas.

The images I rendered on the containers today took an hour each. so I needed to turn up the lights on the paths to look for any problems. The paths will not be as bright as you see in the image currently.

http://i67.tinypic.com/k2242o.jpg



I am also building a run cycle for my character. I still do not know if I am going to make shoes of some sort while she is in this particular suit. If I do than this is all for not.

Well, see you next week sometime. I have been neglecting TQ server, so I have not made any isk and down to eight days on one of my accounts. I do not feel like selling anything, so I going to earn it.

Trying to haul capital components on Singularity to build a Titan, but it is turning out to be a lot of trips back and forth. These things take a lot of m3.

Today I set up a blog and will be displaying the images there from now one.


http://tomseve.blogspot.ca/p/the-citadel-project.html


From now on I will post my images on a new blog I set up today. I was using tinypic and there is too many ads with long loading time and I was getting annoyed with it. This should be a lot better for both of us. I will spend some time later on it to figure out the options and how it saves my files I upload. Well, back to EVE and Youtube.

In the mean time check it out and like I said in the previous post, I will be back some time next week with my next development post.

Have a good one.

Playing a lot of EVE Online as well as other things, but managed to build a run cycle for my character Jean Grey. I also did a couple other small things and will show it Friday or Saturday when I get some more done.


Run Cycle For Jean Grey (My character is starting to come alive)

I want to try to make the arms not so stiff. I will build a few more different cycles soon, so I have some basic moves to work off of when creating some videos soon.

I had some time in the last couple days to do a few things around the outside of my Citadel and added my Venture ship into the scene. You can see the scale of the Citadel if you saw my images in the past showing the sizes of my character to my pod to the Venture ship.

So far This is the Citadel.

I also added a few bulletin boards with some temporary textures.
