*** OLD NEWS Self-PROMO thread***
[url]http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=11241466&start=12694111&search=news[/url]

Please put it all in here. I don't want a bunch of website promotion threads, etc.

Let me start off by mentioning something for Mista. At: www.swbattlefield.com a bunch of people are using some SCIFI 3D models and making a total conversion mod for the pc game BATTLEFIELD 1942. I bet Lucasarts will not like this with their SW GALAXIES game coming out soon.

Okay, this thread hasn't seen anything new in a while. So, I'll plug the revamp of my website. I've been in production of my FF for about a year and a half now and have quite a few costume and prop photos up as well as fx tests to download. Check it out. Let me know what you think!

Edit: Whoops!
Five Dice Productions

Since there are Oh-So-Many Maxers here, I thought I would plug this very interesting set of video tutorials that a very dedicated (and talented) 3dsMax user has made for the public to purchase...

Check it out at 3d-palace

Star Wars: Imperial Assault
Mod for Command & Conquer Generals, Zero Hour

http://www.planetcnc.com/imperialassault

We've been working for almost a year now on this mod and it's been coming along very nicely.

However, "nicely" isn't good enough. We want to become emersed in the new movement of Star Wars battle games like Star Wars Galaxies and Star Wars Battlefront.

The Zero Hour community has many fans, but after working on this for one year we've noticed its modding community isn't large enough for us-- so we are looking to expand. We are looking to the Star Wars community to help in our mission to bring the Star Wars Universe to life through this mod.

If you're someone who loves pouring out tatooine buildings, or loves creating numerous Star Wars alien creatures, or loves skinning details into imperial structures, or, create genuine Star Wars sound effects or 2D interfaces, we need you to help us create the best Star Wars RTS to date.

Sign up to our forums at
http://www.planetcnc.com/imperialassault/forums
or email me, Edan, the project leader, at edan@doverinteractive.com

Thank you.

I bet a lot of people here could use the motionbuilder trial with all the character rigging questions we get. Good stuff to remember.

Thanks for the heads up!

Some news from Videography magazine:

Massive Software announced graphics processing unit-accelerated rendering for Massive, the company's autonomous agent 3D animation system. GPU-accelerated rendering support in Massive, now available for use with products including NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards, enables visual effects artists to render huge-scale Massive shots at film quality without a render farm.
