  Star Wars Flight Sim Slicing Classes
March 3, 2005 9:11:53 PM    View the profile of Kadann 
I am looking for two members who are interested in going through Star Wars Flight Sim Slicing training.  Please read the following to see if you even qualify as I want only members that are serious about going to all of the classes to attend.

He will only take two members from each of the groups he has sent this email to so I will be choosing who will be able to attend from the VE members who are interested.

If you are interested, post a reply to this thread stating your qualifications for the requirements that are listed below.  You will have one week to state your interest in this opportunity.  Post your interest soon as I may not wait a full week if I find two members that are qualified earlier than the deadline.

If you do not meet the requirements, please do not post on this thread.  If you do, your post will be deleted.

-------------------------------------------
For those who probably don't know me, let me introduce myself.  I am known as Derrick "Trident" Huntington, CEO of Phoenix Technologies Slicing/Shipyards.  PT is a self ran and only person "corporation" based off the Star Wars Universe.  I have been in several groups, and have been doing several aspects of editing on the X-wing series published by Lucas Arts ever since 1996. 

I am planning to permanently retire from the Star War's scene due to many circumstances that has befallen upon me.  So after this long thought out and finally semi-planned decision, I have come to you all to offer this.

I am offering to teach my knowledge of the Slicing "arts" that I have developed over the many, many years.  Now I don't know the full abilities of each group, so I am just generally sending this to all that have seemed to be active.  Now in about a month, I will start these classes.  They will be lengthy sessions on IRC(1-3 hours), every Saturday weekend.  This is what I am offering for the classes:

1) Basic Starfighter/Starship design concepts
2) Basic Slicer Principles
3) Slicer Basic techniques
4) My personal knowledge of editing from the X-wing DOS to X-wing Alliance.

Now if you do wish to participate in this, I have a few requirements of anyone you wish to learn this.

1) Time and patience to learn this
2) An 3d editor of some type (I'm not versed in all, but can change to fit)
3) Basic knowledge of there editor
4) A limit of 2 people per group

I would rather they posted themselves as that would show their interest in following through with the classes.

So let me get this straight, he will teach us how to do these things?  Because I am so up for it.  I have the time on Saturdays, but not really much more for right now.

What programs did he say that we were able to use?  Blender? Whats up?

Blender if you're really good with it. I'm assuming he's using 3DSMax or Gaia.

I'm not sure which 3d programs Trident is refering to, but I am assuming they would be the same as what Cosmic had suggested.

And Rizzit, no paint.

what modeling prog he uses ?
if lightwave,... i'm out, cannot install the prog.

i can only do dmax and a bit of poser.

so these session are "game dev" oriented rather "modeling" oriented ??

if it's modelling, just gimme blue print of top, front, side, back view

but if it's "gave dev" ... think i can't catch up,... hate low poly count

I'm sure he knows how to use 3dmax.

As far as what the sessions will be about.  I'm guessing they'll be about 3d ship creation/design as well as how to incorporate these tactics into the various flight Star Wars simulators for level creation.

I don't have the time and stuff right now, but whoever that is going to learn it, will you be able to teach me in July, or August? I really want to learn that kind of stuff.

You know I should think about doing the same thing for mission making.

I used to be rather good at that from what I remember hearing.
