will there be any animations with this? ie having a door you can open and close or one that auto opens?

Unfortunately not. Being that I don't have any technical information on how to do this, there wont be any animations included with this. (Obviously, it means attaching bones to the meshes that are named with a special ID that ping MS to open and close)

For the time being, you can do a trick which I implemented for the demo video. While in director mode, click on the door, and choose "Hide". then when you want the door to close, choose "Unhide". Makes it look like the doors hydraulics's are so powerful it opens and closes the door in the blink of an eye.

What about simply making it move in director mode? I can dod it with my hanger doors i had made so im guessing I can do the same sort of thing with yours right?

[D.L. Watson]

I've done some texturing this evening. I've decided to do away with the high poly floor and just use texturing, looks better and saves memory.

This will be the "dirty" version. Ill do another version tomorrow which will be the "clean" version.

Once I get the texturing done, its just a matter of creating the intersection piece, which is just applying a bend modifier to four walls until finally creating the door.

Well, I'm off to bed, all the UK'ers have a great day and for my US friends, see ya tomorrow.



P.S. Looking at it, I may model up some vertical pipes or tubing or something...what do you guys think?

A corridor variant with a few uppy-downy tubes would certainly add something, methinks

Looks great DL!

Squadron, yes you could make a door that way. You could make the door as a separate object and then make it movable in MW. It would be a bit more tedious to do this then it would an animated door, of course, but it can be done.

[D.L. Watson]

So I'm working on the corridor tonight after a weekend of off - topic stuff which has distracted me from this small project. I was hoping to have it finished by today or tomorrow.

I might be able to catch up before bed. We shall see.

Okay...so here is the beginning of the intersection piece.

I've got to do some backend stuff at TMUTheater for some premieres tomorrow, and then I hope to work some more on this.

Im soooooooo jealous...yup I said it

[D.L. Watson]

Okay, well, I've pretty much have gotten all the assets put together and ready to go. There is a few things I'm going to fix texture wise.

The question I have for people who might use this set is this: Would you prefer to have self-illuminated "control panels" like seen in the images below? Or would you rather forsake the self illumination and have the option to have your own image input?

Unfortunately at this time, MS doesn't not allow both. I'm looking forward to your response. Just remember, this set works the best with both the ambient and direction light near off. Your user selected image for the control panels may not be seen.

Okay, here are some images. I'm off to bed.

The text gets cut off for me because of the wide images, can you shrink the images? Can't see what your question is

Inspired work :-)

As to your question:
I'd prefer to have self-illuminated "control panels".
It would be easy to overlay new control panels props for green-screen or
2 separate video inputs.

Using the MS parts system would come in handy with this kind of prop. You could easily make alternative mesh/texture combination.

Act3, i Hope you can get DL's question now :-)
You must be one of the people who's pictures in posts aren't scaling down.

[squadronfilms]

Why not have both?
Crossroad_userimage
Crossroad_default

How much extra work would that be?

Are you still going to do a clean one aswell?

[cynthia_1968]

Looking good, I can't wait to try it in my SCI-FI project titled Avon, I'm working on at the moment (Using Vue Studio Pro 6, Carrara 7 Pro, Poser 8, Daz Advanced Studio, Bryce and Moviestorm).

[Armanus]

If you wanted, you could always bundle it as two packs, one for the self-illuminated and one for user image. Myself, I prefer the self-illuminated one, and could always put my own image in there with the workshop if I needed to.

Excellent work btw!

Thanks for help poor Jorge out. They should have automatically resized. They do for me.

Yes, there will definitely be a clean version as well. Working on that today.

Great! I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the week.

A look at the "Clean" version of the Scifi Industrial Corridor. I wonder if these two guys know what happens when they wear red shirts.

Anyways, changing between the two versions is as easy as click on the mesh and choose your version. No need to rebuild an entire set.

The addon will also include a bunch of floors textures of different kinds eroded steel. Very cool beans.

I'm working on the tutorials for the addon and all should be ready for testing sometime by the end of the week. Ill keep ya all posted.

[Robear]

Very cool. Great look.

Can't wait to try this out.

[reptor7]

Look'n sharp, D.L!

[squadronfilms]

poor guys, they will never see it coming
