Your right on the 'taking up' the more relaxed
point of view when it comes to things like this, hell i do.
Yah, i won't rant on about unseen progress to you guys, espeially at
the moment. But if your wondering why i have taken some real time on
this, let me explain with what iv'e been doing, from the top of my head
here;
1. Predator costumes - Updates over the first pack. More
proportionate bodies. AVPR predators - NOT just the wolf, the two
costumes that were seen at the beginnng in the spacecraft.
Constant research into the whole design of the species, Watching
shed loads of clips, capturing no end of screenies. Custom
'Shoni's' Predator's - My very own styled armour, alongside similar
weapons, all kinds of ***. All the gear made seperately, to stick on
movie syle avp sets, and custom sets; (Trophy room, pilot room, hybrid
birth platform. Homeworld sets, alternate poly counts for each 'already
named' (For max animations, and game engine stability. All
looking as real as possible.
2. Alien; - Original Domed Head, Rigged Head, Both in alternate
colours, Runner, AVPR style predalien, Custom style predalien (MY own
design), CUSTOM Aliens - from Hybrids out of fictional planets from my
AVP War movie series.
3. Alternate categories (STUNT category) - a collection of aliens,
predators, and My faction marines, all either Made to look dead or
severly wounded. For instance, a predator with an alien tail up his
jacksy, through his chest, a skinned predator, a headless predator,
tortured looking aliens with spears through them, all blood stained,
skinned humans, all pretty grim and sick stuff.
4. Props; As i mentioned before, props here, there and everywhere;
Stuff for max, majority for the movie; small and large, all mostly
exist on costumes. But, for instance; Fachugger (Forgot to mention they
are in teh STUNT Category alos; on faces obviously). Facehuggers in
predator tanks, broken tanks, new blood pools, slime pools, broken set
pieces. Except for the spaceship i created (MAX ONLY) didn't make
a low poly version of the updated one. Took me hours of research
getting this too look right. (Btw, the one youv'e seen already was a
pile of crap, ain't seen the new one), and your not havi'n it either.

That's for flying animations in max to stick into my movies.
5. Sets, already mentioned the AVPR ones, but i'll let you know i
started on the pyramid sets a long time ago too, and mapped these
instead. Look cool with normal bakes an all that stuff. The idea was i
could re-arrange, add, manipulate and retexture these for use as the
predator HOMEWORLD sets also. So two birds with one stone on this. And
that's where i'm left revising existing stuff you see, this is where
more time i WASTE. Simply deciding on wheter i should re-map to allow
for re-design purposes, or leave them alone?
6. Overlays- Well sort of, but i don't need them know, i use
Magix, Wmm, and particle illusion to Create titles, creadits, visual
and special effects for my movies. Also use Green BOX features for a
cloaked predator. (Not included in costumes unfortunately. But will
produce one for those of you who haven't these kind of software
advantages. Same goes for overlays.
And that's it. But that's not all yet should i say.

The
situation is still in need of a organizing, need to pacth and piece
everything up.
There, are you sort of happy with informatiion now, ooh and
considering, you try and work out a realease date buddy.

Yeah, most gonna try.
