well its not really finished is it? but i was thinking not just playing on the motherboard thing but going inside the computer with alot of wired and cards and stuff. we could add a motherboard like that though

Idk, but all I remember is him showing a screeny of it then we just stopped talking about it

, Looks like a good idea I guess. Even though I still don't understand what your trying to get at with this idea...

well you go inside a computer and see alot of wires and a graphics card and hard drive and stuff like that, im working on making some things in wings right now

I build computers for a living. Perhaps I could design some up-to-date parts in Wings or anim8tor?

That map hasn't been dropped

, it's just been difficult for me to organize the creation - a lot of the parts are done, I've been very busy recently so it's been tough. ASAP, I'll get to it again - my bro can't help anymore, his time it totally used up.

Patience! It'll come soon...I hope

Edit: It's also been pushed back because I had to format and reinstall Windows, that means redownloading my modeller and reaquiring my key - that might take time to download. gsL ain't small(DSL

).

can you just post what you have so far?

AlliedArmour · Post by **AlliedArmour** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:07 pm

I don't think that's possible right now - it's currently on a backup server somewhere all in .COB format - I'd have to refind them and convert, etc.

I'm gonna do it when ready to carry on properly. I'd like to win the trueSpace contest first tho - it'll enable easy and reliable .OBJ exports, as well as no poly limits, etc

truespace contest? whats that

AlliedArmour · Post by **AlliedArmour** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:23 pm

You enter with the trueSpace Demo and can win the full version. Monthly contest

eagle · Post by **eagle** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:43 pm

ok but what is truespace?

AlliedArmour · Post by **AlliedArmour** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:54 pm

It's the big one. Here's how Caligari works:

trueSpace
gameSpace(Skinned down ts, designed for game models - cheap)
gameSpace Light(Poly and export limited gs, free)

oh i get it, is it for mac too?

AlliedArmour · Post by **AlliedArmour** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 9:57 pm

Wuall no, that's it's biggest fault. It's so easy and powerful - but only one OS.

here is your computer chip. Tell me if it needs more revision.

P.S. Good luck finding a texture on the net!

Why not shove a black box over that, to make it look more like a chip, cuz at the moment it kind of looks wierd cuz the pins merge into the main body. and of course tanks can't drive on sloping surfaces, if there is a box people could drive over it. Otherwise, brilliant!

im fine u? · Post by **im fine u?** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 4:13 pm

Well, you would have to add a box object on top of it yourself, as im to lazy to do it

and Thank you. Im glad you like it so far.

now, when you say "black box" do you mean like the picture i took?

Actually, we've got a CPU and it's HSF - only I can't say or show much because it's got secrets.
