I'm back.....after years abscent

hey everyone

it's been a long time since i was involved in Evolutions.......or i guess now Thrive. I've now chosen my future career of being a 3d modeller so i hope to get some practice
done on Thrive before i make it to the big leagues. I hope to be as much help as i can on this game.

P.S. I've only just started downloading some free 3d modelling programs and hope to start today.

Spartanman01, HAOOH, HAOOH, HAOOH!!!!!!

Welcome back.

Welcome back, guy I vaguely remember!

Welcome back, Spartan. I think i remember you... possibly... Long time ago now... Anyways, see you around.

It's always good to see new members, esp those willing to learn technical skills.
If you need help modeling, i'm pretty good with Sketchup.

thanks ~sciocont

I'm going to use either True Space, or 3DVIA Shape until i get the hang of things, then i'll move on to an expensive modeller. So what shoould i work on first? Thanks for the warm welcomes

I'm not exactly sure what you should work on- since we have editors for just about anything, not a lot of our stuff will be pre-modeled. I'd say get a lot of practice in polygonal modeling for the moment.

sounds good to me. What about pre modelled vegetation, like trees, so the player doesn't have to make their own at first, if we have a vegetation editor.

Vegetation will be handled in the Organism Editor. The plants will not be pre-modelled. They will evolve just as any creature would.

ooooh, i see. Well.......ya....

What you could do is look into possible bases for our tech editor. We basically need a free 3d program that is modifiable, easy to use, and has many pre-built assets. I chose sketchup for my top pick.

Hi.., I think I remember you a bit... So.., Welcome Back.
誰だろう。

I'll be honest, I have no clue who you are! but welcome back anyway (SCIOCONT! u can make a jester smiley but not a Godzilla smiley??? come on man)

i seem to remember most of you guys..... I'm using a free (I love free) program called True Space, it seems pretty easy and I believe it is modifiable.

I'll look into it.

How easy is it to use? We need an average person to be able to pick it up and make something really cool with it, really fast.

well....... that's a good question....... i haven't tried it yet but it looks quite easier than blender. They also have helpful tutorial viedeos and one has to do with creating a scary fishy thing with all the programs tools. I've been quite busy on vacation, but i'll try to see what i can do on the laptop.

Now i haven't been following for a year so i was wondering what the the tech editor would be about?

Tech editor is for creating technology- building weapons, any sort of technology you could think of, from a pencil to a spaceship.
It will have "function parts" such as engines, hydraulics, computer chips o that the player can make technology with those things.
