From the Battlefront scan data? That game has been great for getting model dims. Our forum should send EA a gift basket, lol.
Amazing work Julian, Never known anyone yo grasp Rhino so quickly. Truely amazing. Well done.
Ah Thanks for clearing that up julian. Passing of ripped mesh's as your own is frowned among in the modding community.
You might know who this guy is? Relation?
He's been spamming the forums asking for the Battle Front models?

Hey Rob, glad you visit my post, I hope you'll get some inspiration to correct your own AT-AT !
Yeah it's me ! Like you can see, Im not asking for BF modelS but for the Rebel Transport. Look at the date too, the AT-AT mesh was available since several months along with the AT-ST mesh. ) (they were already available during the game Beta !).
Yes at this time I was thinking using the BF Rebel Transport mesh, and even posted that on Facebook so everyone knows it and never tried to rip anything off. but this was before I found that all the models are off.
What were you looking in this board ? The meshes to get a better slave or at-at ? In your case yes, they may be of some help !
Oh Yeah, do you want to compare the BF meshes with mine ? )
Ive been sending to friends pictures of my progress all along the modeling process so it's not an issue for me.
Yeah I too think it's awesome I have been able to model this AT-AT hull after only one month or so of Rhino. I may try the Slave one next !!
Jeez, Julien. I wasn't trying to attack you. I was just asking a question about your process. I think the EA scan/Battlefront data is a great jumping off point. Their ROTJ AT-ST has some accurate dimensions from the scan data, and the Rebel Transport will be an interesting model to check against the reference pics EA took of the model recently. I think between the two, a pretty accurate model can be made. The models from Battlefront imported into Rhino are very useful, even when comparing the AT-ST against hard data from recent archives measurements.
Good luck with your photogrammetry and Rhino work, it looks like you are making excellent progress, and the quest for absolute accuracy is commendable, and admirable. If you read any more into that simple sentence, I can't help it. I have no interest in ridiculous back and forth drama on this forum, and I have chosen to ignore it. Negativity does no good.
I guess it was my mistake to ask a question about your work. I will try not to ask again, in the future.
Yer Julian wasn't poking a stick at you, Just truly amazed at your CAD progress. Wasn't that long ago you were making fun of me for using said tools now you've fully embraced them. Well done.
I was amazed if you learned this in a year but you say one month? Well my hat of to you. Well done.
As for the modding, I've been involved since Quake and even before, even owned a 2000 seat LANing centre before ADSL killed it.
But yer you seem defensive so i won't post anymore and just enjoy it from the side lines.
As you know better than any one (i really do think you are an AT-AT guru like Beaz is to the X-Wing), that MR was a casting and not a real deal, so I don't tend to use it to compare to anything else. It's a cool replica from post ESB though!
Yeah, the parts for the transport are IDed to a point and then it's just murky and some stuff is covered with that weird mold. And a Roco assembly has fallen off... It will be an idealized model for sure. It is my hope that the EA scan will at least get us something to check against what we come up with, in the hull dimensions. If it's a close comparison, it will be gratifying.
But back to your AT-AT. Phenomenal Rhino work!
Julien, the MR AT-AT was a Pro-E file at a certain point, and then as we all know, China did whatever China wanted to do, lol. But the source material was a resin casting, yeah. I can't speak for it's provenance. As I said, you're more knowledgeable about the AT-AT than I am!
it looks pretty good. Not exact of course, but better than a modeler would get just working from photos. It was just me playing around in the program. I'm not taking any of the info to any conclusion though, since I know you're on the Efx one, and eventually either they will release it, or someone else will.
Yeah, that's what happens when the project managers don't have the eye for detail we studio scale forum members do! I had very little influence or pull on that one... and I doubt back in 2003 that I would have had the knowledge to say something.
But it's still leagues better than Icons had done previously! And you gotta give MR credit for engineering the thing to hell and back - they didn't sag or tip over!
Hmm Yeah, Interceptor And Y-Wing first (the Y could be the first eFX product I would buy after all ).Well, let's see EFx actually get something... ANYTHING model related to market this year.
