Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

Heh, BDA and Dave will be happy to know that I'm currently sitting on a dozen-or-so "advanced"-level AE video tutorials that I've been making in my spare time. They'll all be released in one big chunk. Not quite ready yet.

But... hardcore shit. The RP53 things were more basic and meant for first-timers; this new batch is the kinky stuff. Math, expressions, crazy-useful tracking methodologies, etc..

I get bored and I like making tutorials.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

But actually though, thanks, I got a random paycheck couple days ago, and I totally forgot that that was a thing I wanted to do way back in the days when I didn't have the money.

So now everyone wins.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

On another tack, sort of similar to the lightsaber color thing; if Sith-boy has any interest in "designing" his ship, he can.

Like, even a doodle or whatever. The ship can be made to look "real" and detailed pretty much regardless of vague shape, so there's no reason he couldn't do a little sketch that would be used as a starting point. We just take that as "inspiration" and make a cool looking ship out of it, one that will be recognizably his design without sacrificing the... uh, overall artistic coolness that comes later.

Only thing is, the ship model is something we can start on right away, and probably should. If you think that'd be a fun way to go with it, have him knock out a doodle he likes. Otherwise we can just do some random cool ship.

Re: Zarban's lightsaber battle project

That is awesome. He's a good artist, so he might have ideas. I figured you guys would use whatever spaceship model you had lying around, especially if it's recognizably Star Wars-related.
