Who did the Models for EVN?

Who did the lightwave models for EVN? I have a couple of questions for them:

1 What are the major modelling tools that you used when you were modelling them?
2 Where did you get the ideas to make the ships?
3 Did you take any courses for lightwave? or are you self-taught?
4 What version of lightwave did you use?
5 How did you manage to texture a shiny, chrome material? Was it a image map? or just a surface?
6 did you do the glow effects in lightwave? how?

I know this may seem kind of stupid...but i am really interested in lightwave, and some of the stuff is just amazing.

You do know how expensive it is, right? Anyway, lightwave is a really nice program. I believe it can do all of the effects used on the EVN ships. However, I smell an iMove to the developers corner. 😉

Why don't you email ATMOS. _pipeline or Frandall, maybe?
I'm sure they could help you...

he knows how much it is... he has it! and so do I (evil laugh) I have version 7.

Zombat: I think they used 6.5, but I'm not sure. I think pipeline did most of them, but I could be wrong on that one too.

I would advise against that, poor blighters are super busy with Nova beta, I'm sure. I will leave this topic here until an ATMOS member sees it, then it can go over to Developers Board maybe. 🙂

(flabbergasted tone) OMIGAWD YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BOAST! (/flabbergasted tone)

Seriously, if I could do that I'd be looking into getting a job at Blizzard.

OK, now the moderators are wondering if they should move this to the developer's corner or to the gallery 😉

Dave (pipeline) is our main modeller, and while Steve and Phill are quickly coming up to his level of skill with LW, he is still our main LW man...

I was on #ev3 once when pipeline was rambling on about motion blurs in LightWave. I asked if LW did motion blurs, at which point moki said "for $3,000 it better wipe your ass too"

Cinema 4D? Lightwave? Maya? Damn you people with money to burn.

Anyway, those are some nice ships, Zombat, you've certainly got skill. Though I would suggest that Dave is a little too busy right now to give you tips.

Perhaps some people on the Developers Corner will, hence iMove. 🙂
