By the time it'd take me to post images (I'm at work, they're at home), I'll have already tweeked it by then

Warrior, will your version of the original cylons ever be out for the general public? I too would really like to get ahold of one.

And if its not too much to ask, one that can be used in poser pro. LOL

Cheers Warrior, funny thing is I've no idea why I didn't upload it here myself, this place was first on my list once Wil said it was ok to release it. Any of you guys got a spare brian cell to lend me, obviously the one I'm using isn't working to well.

And how's your Cylon coming along, I'm really looking forward to seeing it myself

@ mizrael, is Lostin3D still up mate, I tried to go over there and the site was gone.

What format is it in Warrior, if it's in LW I'll take a look at it for you if you like, see if I can spot any problems. Any chance of a couple of pics possibly one as a wireframe view?

Cheers

The LW version is fine. It's the Poser version in Poser that isn't looking quite right.

Fact is, I used to have this Cylon available for download, but something just didn't sit right with me, so I've yet to add it to the downloads here.

The one in the picture posted by jan is missing his leg armor. Looks good to me otherwise.

I'll take a look at the Poser version if you like Warrior, I've had quite a bit of experience converting stuff to work in Poser, and I know a lot of it's shortfalls, and some ways of fixing them, especially when it comes to mesh errors in Poser from LW, heh, after converting 80+ Dystopia city blocks and a stack of other LW models I've sorta got the hang of it now.

Cheers

Billy, if you were to go to the downloads here and look at the Poser stuff provided by me, and over at 3dgladiators.com's downloads and looked at all the Poser stuff by me there, you'd see stuff that originated in Lightwave and was converted for Poser

I myself am pretty adept at making LW into Poser stuff.

It's just the Cylon I never gave any real attention to... yet

Heh, I've already got a good bit of your Poser stuff already, so I know how good it is mate, I just thought you might like a hand is all.

Actually I've edited part of your stormtrooper figure to get rid of Posers smoothing, (I hope you don't mind), since I wanted a good close-up of the helmet, here's how it turned out:

[IMG][/IMG]

The top one is the original, the bottom one the tweaked version

I'm now just trying to replace all the other parts of the armour with these tweaked ones, it's getting the colours right again that's the hard part, luckily the surface names you used basically explain themselves LOL

Cheers

Superman/Smallville Another Poser Cylon Vote!

Just wanted to add my vote for a Poser Classic Cylon!

Surprisingly there isn't a whole lot of BG Poser stuff out there. Actually it seems most of the Sci-fi stuff out there is for Lightwave.

I got Billy-Homes EXCELLENT Cylon (over at renderosity) from the new series and it's incredible. 'Cept I tried to make it chrome in Poser today and things that weren't on the screen didn't reflect. Probably an easy fix for that, but I'm new to Poser.

Kinda off the subject, but does anyone know where there's a Classic Battlestar Galactica or a Serenity from Firefly for Poser?

I've never seen a Poser Galactica or Serenity, probably because both of them would be so difficult to convert properly to remove the smoothing that Poser applies to everything, the Cylon took about a week to convert, though a lot of that was because the original version was created in MAX by Wil, so some parts had to be rebuilt partially in Lightwave first. I've got a Galactica and the Serenity in LW, so one day I might give them a try, though I'd have to get permission from the original authors first.

As for your chrome material not reflecting in Poser, I very rarely use Poser for renders, but I think you might need to turn reflection on in the materials editor, I think there's an option in the node plug for relflections to turn on raytraced relfections, I'll have to take a look myself to see.

@ Warrior, LOL, I've had that stormtrooper for just about that long mate, it was the only Poser one about I could find then, and it did it's job perfectly. I also seem to remember there being some poses set up for it, but I can't find them so I could be wrong

Cheers

Billy

Superman/Smallville Re: Reflections

Actually the Cylon was reflecting everything that was on camera, so-to-speek(the walls beside and behind him), but any poly's that were off-screen didn't reflect (probably because they didn't need to render in the first place), so I had white reflections in the middle of the chrome.

The closer the camera was to the model, the more blank white reflected in the Cylon. What did reflect looked cool though. I can definately see why they didn't go with Chrome in the new series though.

In Poser you can put a reflection map on the chromed parts as you can see in the image that I've made (see below), in order to achive a realistic reflection effect.
