VAL,

Book stores are a pretty good place. The problem with them I have found is, those ladies hanging out there are not always in the section, of books that interests them. They are cruising, TOO! But other than that, they are a great place for meeting BABES!

mlmbd dating advice thread??? Advise to the love lorn. Can I use BOLD & ALL CAPS??

Val, (as to a question you asked several post ago, BMP's) BMP's, I use DOGA, to start. When I finish, load them into a PhotoShop "type" editor to convert them, resize, and clean them up a tad. I have been looking for a better way. Have 100's of designs. Some in file form, others just in my head waiting to made. Stopped making models, because the BMP's aren't very good.

The real surprise at the bookstore is when the girl turns out to be in that section because she's buying a book for her boyfriend!

Could help you out with the DoGA BMPs if you like, been a bit busy as of late between work projects, B5 Mod and personal time - but hey, gotta keep the lurkers happy

What process are you currently doing to make the BMPs? Do you go into Photoshop and just tweak the pic or do you use photoshop to make the background black? What Version of DoGA? Do u use textures? If you want to send, post some I'd love to see 'em.

Usually I do a render in DoGA and then copy and paste it into PSP7 and do any tweaks (like running lights) then save.

If you are interested in trying your hand at a complete set based on some canon material we could use a few more sets over on the B5 Mod, I can send you top down scans of ships...

Val,

Yeah, I can only imagine your surprise. I was in one of my favorite haunts (cruising), got site of a amazing looking lady. Check it out for a few minutes, started my rap, WHAM, the boyfriend comes around the corner, with that unmistakable look of KILL, in his eyes. I said ma me might you point in the direction of the iceberg lettuce? First time I bought iceberg lettuce. WHEW!!

I would appreciate any help you are willing to give. Whenever it is possible. You can put it on the back burner, if you need. I do realize you have afew irons in the fire. Ah yes, need to keep the LURKERS happy.

I have DOGA 2 (soon to be DOGA 3). I use textures, asst. colors and effects, i.e., metallic, glass, shine, etc. I could send you a zip file of some ships. Yes, and at present all I do is load them in PSP7, or Real-DRAW Pro, and just tweak them. Sucks!!

I know how to render in DOGA. However I don't know how to render, cut, and paste the rendered model. How do you make image the right size??

I would be very interested in trying my hand at a complete set. Even just some canon material. You can email me the scans, and I will get right on it.

VAL, THANKS so much for the help. I have been sitting here going crazy, with all this designs in my head.

I am working on some Race portraits, as well. Just started working with gels!!

If that happens to me, maybe I can ask him to point me in the direction of the leeks so I can make some Vichyssoise.

If you do decide to create a mlmbd

dating advice thread, please DO use BOLD AND ALL CAPS !

mlmbdL: all you do (DOGA 3) is click display, rendering properties and then set resolution then click ok then click display then rendering and voila, perfectly sized .bmp for SEIV

DOGA 2 won't let you save the render

As PF said, it is a breeze in DoGA 3, download the free Version of DoGA 3 and you will be in heaven!

I did a lot of work in DoGA 2 before moving up and it was a royal pain. One of the best I came up with was doing a print (hit ctrl-Print Screen) screen and pasting it into PSP7/Photoshop. Get 3 ASAP! Much easier.

Yeah, send 'em on over to me either in a private message or to [email protected] - though that box might be full tonight if PF is working in overdrive again

Have had the looks that could kill happen a few times too, but hey, no harm in looking

mlmbd · #67 November 12th, 2002, 11:57 PM

pathfinder, Thanks, loads!!. You are correct, it is much easier in DOGA 3.

VAL,

Got DOGA 3. Now to start, kicking some stuff out. OH, LOOK OUT WORLD. I did send you a zip.. Actually, I sent two(2). The first one lacked the attachment. NO HARM at all looking. Sure am glad cretins don't usually read minds! And bye the bye, the ICEBERG babe and I did hook-up several days later, at the student Union Bldg.

If you would, could you send me those top down scans of ships you were talking about? You can email them to me. [email protected]

Kamog, as long as you remember to ask. A really surprising thing is how a 6'11", 380 lb, moron Neanderthal (ah, excuse me, i digress) can effect your memory, and your speech!!

And I am giving SERIOUS thought to advice thread. I SAID serious thought, not necessarily all serious answers!!

Val · #68 November 13th, 2002, 05:55 AM

DoGA 3 makes it much easier to kick it out, I'm sure we'll be seeing ship sets from you in no time!

Did you send it to [email protected] ? I don't see it if you did. Right now the box is pretty clean, has over 2Megs of space open. Try to resend.

I'll scan in the pics this weekend, but they are pretty much top down silhouettes, so they are not very detailed.

You are irrepressable, where do you find the time to lurk, play SE and still have time for the honeys? I have had more than enough trouble juggling work, SE and a chick.

I think a dating advise thread could be a rather entertaining, can only imagine what we might hear, topics like - "How to keep your mate happy, while conquering the galaxy" and "10 ways to tell if the girl of your dreams can be converted to a SE junkie" (or the alternate title "how to Mod your girlfriend in 10 easy steps"). Maybe a few Posts from the married guys on how to keep a family and still crank out a dozen shipsets in as many days (along with AI - PF

).

Kamog · #69 November 13th, 2002, 07:25 AM

Yes, a huge moron Neanderthal can indeed affect one's memory and speech. If my speech and memory fail me, I'll just have to revert to turning around 180 degrees (that's pi radians) and running away really fast. The problem is that a pretty, blonde-haired, blue eyed girl can also affect my speech and memory, even when there is no Neanderthal around!

mlmbd · #70 November 13th, 2002, 08:44 AM

VAL,

I sent them to another email address. I just sent the zip. to the [email protected]. They are all before DOGA 3. So tomorrow they will all look different.

The scans will be fine it will give me a idea of what you are looking for. There is no hurry, I realize you are real busy. So as soon as you get to them it will be great. I will make a couple and then see if they are indeed what you are looking for.

I have more than enough time to lurk, play SE, to some ship modeling, and still have time for the honeys. Irrepressible, not hardly. I'm just very efficient with my time!!

An ADVICE thread. The more I think about it, the better I like it. Rather entertaining, at the very least. There is no telling the things that might come UP, pun intended.

Kamog,

If your speech and memory fail you. No need to run. Just look him SQUARE IN THE EYE and say, "OOOOOOW you are a handsome one". Being dump-founded by a pretty, blonde-haired, blue eyed girl. Is not unique. Just take alittle time getting use to talking to them. After that all the rest is PRETTY easy. Really!
