There are things I could show you . There are things I need someone to explain them to me.

I STILL can't texture well. I can use tiled textures, but now the unwrapper or that crap.

But I've got TS, can I join?

yes come there !
If you don't try , then you will cry.

Especially people who have no idea about TS should come in particular.

The intention of the chat is to introduce all Truespace-owners to the program so we can have 10 and not 2 people texturing the vessels .

If everything goes well we will have 10 people or so , all of them able to texture a vessel within a week.

Look I textured the atmshuttle in 2 days.
There are about 60 ships/objects to go . If we succeed no one has to texture more than 6 vessels . Well, lets say a week for each ship. 2 months for all remaining ships ?
That's a quite optimistic view of the world , isn't it ? Personally I think we are lucky when we have all the vessels textured in half a year . That is possible !

Remember , all texturers will work together. If you have questions or found an easy way to do something , we have our forum(s) and ICQ.

This is our first REAL attempt to do something against this lack of texturers. We are enough ! Lets get this mod done !!!

YEAH !

We do but nobody reads the internal forum. I claim it to be because there's no link anywhere, but its super secret so I can't tell anyone =). We also have a mailing list, but we'll have to discuss this at a meeting.

Get down to the ground flyboy

Nobody learns how to texture in a day, even it takes months alone.

Eternal thinks it takes a month because he has problems with explaining things. Well , if you have to find out alone how to texture this will take you a while , but with the right guidance I say showing the other guy the basics takes a few hours . White and I had a two hour lesson yesterday , one or two more and he will know everything I do also know . If we do this altogether at the chat ( and perhaps people stay so they get everything - I said chat has open end !!!) it won't take much time to initiate them all.

And besides , I do explain things better than you. If I only had your skills I could hold the chat alone. So , please come ET1 and get Modeth , we need some profi expertice there.

Fine, believe what you want to believe. You'll see.

And I'll come to the chat, but I doubt Modeth is able to since he's pretty busy at the moment.

Eternal 1 we are talking about texturing only. I believe there are many advanced features that we will learn over time but for basic "lets get down to texturing and produce some results" i think i will be able to given a few more hours tutorial. Sullar is not advanced but he managed to texture the shuttle this is the level of texturing ability im talking about. As the bluetones once said:

"You may not see things my way but I dont care cos I'm not asking, but you cant tell me that i'm wrong"

texture maps for other lods ?
No wonder we don't get anything done. Most of us would texture properly but can't , and the few who can don't tell the others .

Well Eternal , next sunday will be a busy day for you

You never told me something like aditional maps for other lods or debris maps ,
I could have made some , but I heard something like "not more than 2 maps" and I had already 9.

Now I a fed up with people telling me my work is crap. Ok , it is , but either you will come to the chat , STAY and teach us all you know ( and even if this takes DAYS ) or you can texture the remaining 60 vessels on your own .

Thsi is for you , Eternal , and Modeth . And for Bobbeau . Your main goal should be to teach all the others how to texture instead of making some models and hope we others learn it with the time being.

Damned !

Except this texturing tutorial at Volitionwatch there is still nothing of value for us all.

Damned.

It may be possible for me to come there but there's one problem.

I probably need to use my parents computer because they don't even know that in my own computer has a modem in it. So I use it secretly and cannot use my computer if I can come to the texturer chat.

One thing is that I could be there and save the log and try to look from that and learn different things... but I don't know yet. I'll let you know...
