Hello........................?

Neilk, Jay, have you been holding out on us? I don't seem to recall this anywhere. It looks really cool, can't wait for it.

Also, should we have a 1.3 CP board on this site?

It was one of Jayden's things that he just did on his own, in fact before the Helians were even integrated into the story. It doesn't really fit as it is atm. It is always hard when someone who is good at something decides to go off on their own path.

Sometimes in fact you have to give way, a lot of way, for people that talented who do things. Hence, we even have Helians.

Aeneans:

98% of the base design is compleated
87% of the tech tree is devised
50% of the unites are created
1% of the buildings are created

Helians:
98% of the back story is completed
100% of the base design
10% of the units are created
0% of the buildings are created

By design and created you mean concept art, I hope? Because if you mean actual modelling and texturing then it's hardly a community project any more.

Why, I'm not the one doing it. :lol:

FE was made with small teams in different areas. One such 'team' did models and was maybe 3 people for 90% of the models.
That said, I have made an amazing 1 finished model, 1 thrown out, and 1 incomplete.

If I meant models, I would either say models or say some some total word like "Units", as I did. This of course covers basic units that look right and sort of do what they should. Not much more.

Most of the work has been done by Jayden. He is CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY. Jayden is to the CP2 as Slaor and Pastel were to CP1, if I have the right names while I am sitting here in class barely awake.

Design is basically the architecture, textural appearance, and basic race dynamic.

I can make foliage if you like. You don't seem to have anyone doing that.

Also @ Clavin, Slaor posted a program called 'Tree[D]' on his blog that is exceptionally useful for creating foliage, I just need to find a wya to export the wind 'animations' from it and into 3DS, then figure out how to export vert animation from 3DS.

Jayden made a jungle map related to his babies the Helians. Though we could certainly use props we need a bunch of dead things more than we need things alive. Any ideas?

Maybe dead trees that look like skeletons?

Really, imagination is great. Just, make up planets and ecosystems, dead or alive, for use in either the CP2 or maybe another mod.

Also, design a Core (computer planet) that looks unique or some such if you can. I know we could always find a use for that.
