Weird Vehicles - Need A List For The New Site

SIGage · Post by **SIGage** » Sat Jun 19, 2004 7:30 am

I'm adding all the "trucks" to my site now. The idea is to have only the weirdest vehicles (anything which isn't a 4 wheeled monster truck). So far I have about twenty but over half are BigDogge's. That's not a bad thing at all just I wondered if anyone else had done many.
Some of what I have so far:

BigDogge
-Kart Sets 1 + 2
-Rumble Bots
-6-Pack-2-Go
-8X8 War-Dogg
-Oscar Mayer Weinermobile
-Buzz Saw
-School Bus
-Jet Cycles

Cale
-Scrapyard Warrior

Me
-H2O
-Flame
-The Phone
-Horsey
-Bear Car
-Trolley
-Micro Machines (set of 4)

Malibu350
-Radio Flyer

Also for any reason if anyone doesn't want their trucks on the site then let me know cheers.

Cheers guys I'll have a look at all those over the next week and search around. Slow thing is taking pictures of each truck at the same angle. I'll see how it goes.

Do they really need to be at the same angle? If yes, then what I've done in the past is set 'chase near' view and swing it around in front to the angle I like, then each race will begin from that spot. Can't drive around between races tho.

Not a problem wih lining up, with some long vehicles I took pictures sideways. Just takes time opening MTM, starting a race, taking a screenshot, checking and filling the white background pink, setting the transparency for the gif, importing it to flash, animating it moving down the conveyer. Its all good tho

Oh, I see. You know what I've done in the past a couple times. I made a track consisting of one solid-color texture and created a wall in front of which I placed the start position of the truck(s)... also noting the light position to reduce shadows to zero. When you snap the pic you have a ready-made background for a gif. I did that a few times for the model pages here when the model wouldn't open in binedit. However, I never tried to animate anything so that might introduce new problems.

No no I mean animate the whole picture moving down the conveyer belt with motion tweens not animating the picture itself.

Welp, I've read the book, now I'm waiting for the movie

Let us know when the site is ready. I'm sure it'll be much clearer then. Seriously, too. I'm looking forward to it.

I remember once what i did was loaded one truck and then saved thje race and then edited the saved race file to have another truck in it and then loaded up mtm2 and opened the edited save file and voila - new truck in exactly the same place

Here's the start of the new site. No downloads working yet
Only the garage part is done at all so don't bother clicking to go into the office.
