Hmm, before I download this.Ã,  What exactly is it used for?

-Pizzaman

Grisoft AVG is an outstanding antivirus program. It is so good that I got rid of my Norton. AVG used with spybot and Adaware (free version) will destroy any pop up adds. Basically I run  Ad a ware then Spybot and finally AVG. When finished your computer is super fast again. Assuming that it was once fast.

I'm trying to make a game about Medival Times. I have Poser, but it doesn't have armour etc. Of course, I could buy a packet for $29.95, but I would rather not. Is there some way to put knight's clothes on Poser characters without drawing them myself (i'm a losy artist), or is there another way to solve the problem considering my poor artistic abilities?

Wabbit, as someone said in your previous topic about making rooms in poser or bryce, this forum is used for asking critics about art that you created, not about how to use a piece of software.

Please post questions like these in a more general forum.

My last question was moved to this area by a moderator, so I placed a similar question here. In which forum do you think this question belongs?

I would like a script that would accomplish the following:
Get a random number between 0 and 3
if the number is 0 go to room 6
if the number is 1 go to room 7
if the number is 2 go to room 8

Thanks for any help

You should also check out this http://www.brycetech.com/tutor/bryce/engraven.html for how to use the latice object to make other objects in bryce.
http://www.brycetech.com has some pretty good tutorials. Their are alot of other site out there with ton of good tutorials...just google for bryce tutorial.

Thanks a ton jrl2222! That is exactly what I have been looking for.

3D Studio MAX worked fine in XP until I got myself a new PC. 3DS Max 3.1 seems to have a problem with AMD processors. I downloaded a fix, but still no luck.

I'm going to research your problem tomorrow. If I find anything, I will let you know.

Goodnight

Thanks for the offer Wabbit. I still have all the original CDs for my favorite 3D packages, but sadly after my computer upgrade I'm experiencing some software compatibility problems with 3D Studio Max.
I still have Poser and Bryce on my PC, as well as Blender, but I feel so limited in the use of these programs since I've been using 3DS MAX for more than 5 years now.

You probably upgraded to Windows XP. I know that you already know this, but maybe you don't. Most incompatibilities with Windows XP are caused by some driver incompatability. Since Poser and Bryce work you probably need to go to 3DS MAX site and get the new drivers that are compatible with Windows XP. Depending upon the type of error message that youare receiving, you might be able to go the Microsofts site and download your drivers.

Just some thoughts. If you are at a loss, describe your exact symptoms.

Just remembered, If you are getting an error that says that it won't run in MSDos I have a program that will fix that.

Thanks a lot Wabbit. Your advice definitely does help.

I drew the dino on paper then scanned it in as a reference for the pixel art version.

Also, I need to know if this style is good enough for adventure games. Any comments and critiques will be welcomed.

I really would love to get a game going again, and since I can't use my 3D software at the moment, I'll have to try my hand at 2D. So any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Darcness (interesting spelling for Darkness), I think that your character is perfect for and adventure game. You can cut the legs on your master and move them a little and scan them back in and repeat the process, and you will have the different views to animate you character in AVG.

Do you need 3d engines?
Wabbit

Ok, I'll say it again. I'm no 2D artist. I suck at drawing and don't know much about drawing techniques.
But anyway, I decided to try my hand at sprite art just to see what comes out.

This little dino guy is the end result.
I wanted to add scales to his body, but when I did, it came out really bad.
Anybody got any idea how I can add scales to his skin quickly and easily?



Please, any C&C appreciated.
You have been helping me to make a room. I hope that I might give you some useful information. To get rid of the white outline fill your background with the color of the background where you will place your sprite. Would  making either a ( v or an U ) copying them to clipboard and pasting them on your animal where you want them help.

Did you freehand the sprite?

Wabbit

PS. Excuse the white blotches, they appeared due to anti-aliasing when I resized the image.

The simplest method is to create 3 boxes, stretch them out (with the scale tool on the edit tab) to create yourÃ,  back wall and side walls. From there on you can import objects to furnish your room.

The outlines you see in the above pictures are actually the standard wireframe view of the 3D models. You can't actually "draw" outlines in Bryce.

Thanks a lot. I'm going to Bryce (which I know how to use to give it a try).  Your help is really appreciated. I have Blender, and I will learn how to use it tomorrow. I am totally inspired when I see such beautiful rooms like the ones you are capable of creating. Thanks again.

Wabbit

I would have to disargree with you there. These were all done by me using bryce.
The store has some free 3d objects found on the net. But the other rooms are done just with Bryce primitives. And if you ask me bryce is a fairly easy program to figure out.

Great looking pictures!!! Is there some kind of tutorial for making a basic room similar to the ones you make with Bryce. If Not, how do you start? Do you make the room outline first then fill it with primitives. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you make a room with poser or bryce? I have both but I don't see how to make rooms with them.

can someone plez give me some help!!!!!!


for some strange reson my ags wont play any music y is that and how do i do it step by step?

My best advice is to download the Demo for AGS. Then play it to see what it does. Then load the room and check out the scripting sections. This will show you how to add music messages and fade ins. Good luck.

Snarky, thanks!! I see what you mean by all of the white spots. I was able to select the paintbucket. Wow were there a lot of small dots. You said to select them and fill. I could seem to select them. Anymore hints.

http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/jjj.dekker/rpg.rar Something me and Chrille made a long time ago. It's an rpg (just a start though) and it's a bit like those old console RPGs. You can walk around, and encounter random monsters and fight them. It just shows it is possible to make it in ags

Played your game. It was addicting. Will you release the source code? Thanks for the cool RPG game.

Did you download the file I have a link to? and run the exe ..

Yes I did. I will run it again to find the anti-laising box. I also downloaded a copy of the demo builder from emule. It is cool.

Candle, I have Adobe 6.0. I have looked everywhere for the anti-laising box and I can't find it. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks to you, I have learned to use the clipboard to transfer sprites into my game.

Unfortunately my sprite is still surrounded by white dots.
