OutaLance Work Load + Timetable

[Fallen_Warrior]

Ok i know some of you are wondering what we do at OutaLance Shipyards and when we are we going to release anything instead of just talking about it.
So im hoping that this thread gets stickied so the members of OutaLance (including Wulf who isnt able to use Real Time chat based software at work) can talk about thier projects, keep everyone updated and work out ideas with the communities Input. (after all we are just people who help each other help with projects)

So here it goes my list of work is a long one and are in order of priority:

Project                                                                            Status                                    Estimation of completion

Romulan lightmaps for Mani's latest conversions.                  50%                                  7/12\04

26th Century Connie Mk VII                                                 73%                                 27/12\04
Romulan Syrinx                                                                  10%                                30/12\04
Start of Romulan Invasion (10-15 new TNG Rommies              2%                                Start 30/12\04 - End 04/02\05
Wolf 359 Mod for SFC:OP/3                                                  1%                                Start 20/02\05 - End 30/04\05

All these depend on other members timetables and real life issues but this is my rough outline for work which im doing

[Sandman3D]

C'mon guys, give me something to mesh. My current work load is kinda light, considering. Finishing up the Titan, texturing up some Cardy meshes for the Lost Era, provided by MajorRacal. Please, something to mesh before my brain goes to mush from all the texturing. Or, I could build a mesh and send it to ya...then you could play with all the mapping...

Can ya tell it was a rough day at work?

[Fallen_Warrior]

Sandman if you want work to do  pick an Azel TNG romulan design that isnt the Syrinx or the Falcata and do your magic

[Azel]

Sandman...you can try here mate...Tons of my stuff has not left the drawing board:

[Sandman3D]

Hey wulf, I've been working on the SS Valiant off and on...when I get the mesh done, you want to texture her in the Conestoga style? They are related after all.

[wulf111]

i can try but lets see how the Conestoga turns out first im still not very good with textures yet

[Fallen_Warrior]

Well textures can be worked on by all members of OutaLance who have that skill to help out all we need are the meshes
Second will one of the Moderators please Sticky This Thread

[wulf111]

well i now have 3 ships that need clothes the Phobos-X, USS Fury, and the SS Conestoga. the meshes are complete except for some poly removal on the Phobos-X. The Conestoga is probably my best work, the main hull is pretty much one contiguous mesh.

so that updates me so far 
Conestoga    100% waiting for textures
USS Fury      100% waiting for textures
VF1S           10%
PhobosX       95% poly reduction phase and textures for secondary hull
SuperSov     99% need normals flipped on main hull
Chariot         80%
ChariotB       30%
Whale Probe 99% cant seem to get the texture to stick when exporting to .mod
World Ship    20%
Azel's Armor  10%

[Fallen_Warrior]

Wulf if you can find a way of getting those meshes to me Mp and I can start getting textures on the ones you want.
Sorry i havent been around the last couple of days to deal with things i did manage to finish the lightmaps for the romulans though, i still sound like an engine when i breathe (pretty annoying) but while i was sick i had a wonder drug from over the counter and it knocked me out for 3 days.

Also with my Birthday coming up (15th of december for everyone who wants to send me more ships as presents )im arranging a birthday bash so things will be slightly slow around with OutaLance untill after Christmas (even though im working though it) so things should still be on track for my work to do.

Also any moderators please sticky this thread ive asked 3 times already and would greatly appreciate it as over 10 people need to see this and its not easy to see on page 3

[wulf111]

i can send them email F_W wich email addy you want them sent to? and WB F_W glad you are feeling better.

*EDIT* on a side note it looks i will finally be getting DSL internet at home pretty soon *does a happy dance* ill keep all posted

[Fallen_Warrior]

good to hear about the DSL, if you could send them to fallen_warrior@sandman3d.com (it can recive 8MB at a time as far as i know) a gmail account would be fantastic (hint hint wink wink lol ) and then onece i have them MP and I will try to fit them in to our busy Timetable (that is of couse if MP has his crayons working again)

[wulf111]

the Fury and the Conestoga have been sent F_W and i will have the PhobosX ready by monday i hope. Thanks alot

[Fallen_Warrior]

I get to texture your Phobos Im honoured after what you said about my Pongo and wanting to use my Titan

[wulf111]

Yeah you get to texture that baby I currently have WZ's titan textures in the saucer but i thing it a bit to dark would prefer a more sov grey to match the naccells. Do you think i should replace the naccells with better ones or even different ones? *shrugs* i think i have about 10 different Phobos models with different hulls and naccelles LOL i guess the design is so versitile that you can create a whole fleet of varients.

[Fallen_Warrior]

>Wulf> Ive got the fury and the conestoga but i recived another message that had a gave my virus warning software flash like crazy so the email didnt reach me would be nice to find out what it was if it was from you.
The Phobos class is very easy to work with when it comes to texture and mesh ideas but leave it as it is for now and i will see what i can do once i get it.
I think Mp will take the fury for me since its right up his street, I will take the conestoga and when i get it the phobos.
Also would it be possible to make a mesh for me that has the shape of the Miranda Class but with an Akira style saucer, Nova class nacelles and an intergrated Nebula weapons pod that flows into the roll bar (i had the idea while i was coughing up stange coloured stuff a couple of days ago)


>MP> When i next catch you online i need to pass some ideas by you i should be on most of the day today hopefully i will catch you sometime.

>Mani> Hows the Syrinx mapping process going?  also when i next see you online i have some textures for one of your projects.

>Azel> I had a very cool idea for a Ringed warp ship for the feds but in early TNG era, if your intrested i will try to draw it up for you.

And thank you to the moderator who stuck this thread for me

[Sirgod]

Heh, Your welcome Bro. always willing to help, since I have no talent what so ever myself. 

Stephen

[ModelsPlease]

Sorry F_W, works been killer I'll try to catch ya ASAP.

ill give it a shot F_W as for the virus warning email you got that was my work email not liking the BMP files for some reason it blocks them as a virus i guess they they got it locked down fairly tight thats why i sent it via gmail. i will be sending the PhobosX to you shortly so you can take a look at her

[Fallen_Warrior]

awsome thanx Wulf

[wulf111]

is this sorta what you are looking for F_W?

[Fallen_Warrior]

if you can have the weapons pod flow into the pylons that its attached too and bring the nacels down and more back say by 25% in each aspect it will be perfect

[wulf111]

ok cool i think i have a general idea of what you are looking for now i should have something for you in a day or twoon this
