i need someone to bone, animate, and export my pods!
Its not as hard as people make it out to be.
You place bones where you want things to deform. Weight them so they deform correctly and smoothly. Then begin animating. Each animation can be in a seperate xsi file as long as the first frame of each match the base pose.
All I'd recommend is maybe an idle and mount anim.
i reset the transform pivot points so it should work now. i did the same with the other pods.
Lil that happen when you dont reset xform xD, ok hartrus ill conect later in msn to get them.
Keshire i made an animation but it didnt work, maybe speeders cant have animations :confused:
maybe speeders cant have animations
Sure they can, with provisions.
I don't know about
BOTH_A1_BL_TR
But the ROOT enum would be the idle animfor it.
Where as if you use the fighter class you have access to these anims
BOTH_GEARS_OPEN
BOTH_GEARS_CLOSE
BOTH_VS_IDLE
BOTH_WINGS_OPEN
BOTH_WINGS_CLOSE
ROOT
Once the gla is made you have to seperate the frames with the animation.cfg

hehe im not that newbie xD; ok, but if i turn it a fighter it would fly, right?, anyway i think it is ok with no animations

i think the size is ok, anyway i wont change it so..lol
Looks Fantastic the thing i dont like is that the pods are so high up in the air
well that can be fixed in the .veh so dont worry
Holy ****! that looks huge haha like in the movies, now what we need is a biggest map of boonta eve to use them.
Lighninja I would like to see a pic of them with shaders, you will post here when you get them?

All this excitement has got me playing Pod Racer for PC again!! Pod Racing is fun!! I hope we can make it close enough to the game, to give JA its own Pod Racing games :D.
i was planning on making mos espa Pod race track
since sith j culls is too small to get the pods underneath the bridges in tunnels hehe
expect something about it in the mapping forums sometime soon
Thats good to hear darth, we welcome your help greatly. We try to get atleast one map done for the release of the pods, so that people can have something to drive them in. If you are a mapper and would like to help us, please contact us, we can use your help aswell!

I'll TRY to make a racing map, does it ahve to be from Podracer tho? Or can I let my creativity flow and make a new one? :D
just look at the game racers, all the circuits are just invented except the one of the movie xD. Btw i think this should be a mod bcuz if it is a mod the number of vehicles could be upgraded from 12 to 64; but i dont know how, also maybe the guys of OJP knows :p.
Btw, teemtos pod is ingame;

Hartrus if you werent away since this morning i could have done 3 pods, but well here is one at least
Didn't really answer my question though. :p If I were to make one, should it be fully original, or one from Podracers?
Sure Z, do what you want. All we really care is to have some great tracks that people will love and can do stuff on. If you have MSN Z, contact me at [Redacted]@[Redacted].[Redacted]. And thanks for getting those screens up ninja!
looks cool lightninja :D *wish i could have my own* but really nice work hatrus and lightninja :D
You will have to link me to that skin, Ninja to when I do the Pod Racer Trailer for this.

that skin is personal ^^, is a model, a reborn with some things from ragnos
looks great lightninja
ok i'm doing the mos espa pod race track and several other tracks
i'll post some screens later
zappa maybe you should make this into a new thread in the showcase main forums as a mod
so we wont have everythign that belongs to this mod spread out over several forums :D
Update:
Good news guys, I got 8 of 12 pods completed thus far. And about 3 or 4 in game. Since Zappa was one of the first, and the most helpful to me when I first started posting here, I have requested blueprints to a pod designed entirly by him to be included in the pack. LightNinja was so kind to put these in game for me, that he got his own custom pod designed entirly by him. He has started waht seems to be a new trend with custom podracers, single engine pods, with a engine as powerful as 2 regular podracers.
Here are the renders for my Personal Stealth Pod:

wow very nice man
so are you ok with making this a mod hatrus?
Ive done some research on that Jedi Knight Racing mod made about the beginning of the year. The developers where Chrono and Shroomduck. Luckily I know someone that beta tested there mod and are good friends with them. So im gonna talk to my friend that knows Chrono and see if we cant get something put together or if he can send us the files and stuff to do something like that mod but make it better. Anyway, if I can I will try to start a website for the Pods tonight. Ill keep you posted of what happens.

There are 4 in game:
Anakin
LightNinja
Quadinaros
Teemto
Looking nice Hatrus. Man, this week is awesome!! We ordered a new computer, tFighterPilot sent me the Droid Starfighter as a .xsi, and your vehicles look sweet!!
Good job, man!!
:fett:
Haha, damn that's so cool. I would love to see these models lighted ingame though. =)
OK Zappa, I added you. :)
I need to know how many units it is in Radiant so I can map it to scale. ;)
lighted? What do you mean by that? Yea Z, I seen that hope to talk to you soon.
lit... what did you think? ;)
Also TTL.. those shots out in the dessert are in-game shots.

Really bad idea to post at 2 am. Lighted, I mean well lit - ingame and with some light sources. =)

I did notice the skybox and character players. :p I meant the combination of ingame and lighting, both.
God, its incredible how you guys get these done so fast...
I like Teemtos pod the best; i just looks...perfect.
Well ive got a beta site up, but probally wont be up for long since I have my movies website on the same server. So if anybody would be willing to help us with a web server, we could use your help.
http://jaracer.homestead.com/main.html)
Wow... my creativity fuse just blew. :indif: I can't think of anythign to map. I'll sleep on it, but if anyone has any suggestions, post them here. :)
Sup homies, I got some good news again. Ive just broken my record for models per week (in jka), Ive done 7 complete pods with in this week, and I intend to finish another one on Sunday so that would make 8 :) This is gonna be the biggest vehicle release ever, its only fair since i released the biggest saber pack for jka, and biggest modern weapons pack too. More is better. Good things come in large packages.
So recap:
I have completed:
1. Anakin Podracer
2. Gasgano Podracer
3. Mars Podracer
4. Teemto Podracer
5. Quadinaro Podracer
6. Neva Podracer
7. Hatrus Podracer
8. LightNinja Podracer
9. Zappa Podracer
What left is:
10. Sebulba Podracer
11. Endocott Podracer
12. Ody Podracer
And to encourage creativity and custom podracers, Im also going to release the following:
Podracer VDK (Vehicle Development Kit):
1. Example podracers
2. Podracer prefab parts
3. Skins from podracers
4. Shaders, EFX, and .veh Files
5. Small tutorial to making a podracer
6. Instructions to making a proper .skin file
7. Notes, tips, and ideas
8. Duncan's JKA vehicle tutorial
So I will post the main render of each pod when I finish them all 12 of them.
And to the people making maps for the podsracers: make anything you want as long as its wide enough for a podracer to pass another podracer.
i wouldnt worry about that my map is wide enoegh to let 2 pod racers pass an other 2 hehe
my track is about 5 pods wide
Yea thats great news. Yea the maps are gonna be huge inorder to hold the pods. Hopefully things will go smoothly from here on out. Also if my bandwith for the site starts to go overboard, I will take it offline because I need my JOM site up and running 100% to keep people informed.
Awesome you gotta send me the latest in game pods soon.
Looking nice!! I can't wait!!

Sceeen shots? I think not! :p I like it when I started modelling my pit-droid I started playing EP1 Racer again, good game! :D I'd like it very much if I could help out and be part of the crew, for starters, when my pit-droid is skinned you can use him as the official JA: Racer Pit-Droid :p. I could try to make a little mod for customizable pit-droids too.
Thats cool, you think you can help us by making some of the Pod drivers? Thats the next big thing we need.
The Pod part of the site is up. So please gimme some feedback on it aswell.
Haha good work Hatrus, you know your pod looks an F-117.:rolleyes:
