    I'm having some issues with the textures not applying when I load the models in Daz.  Is there a manual way to load them?

    You should be able to click on the area and use your surface tab to manually apply the texture much like the material room in Poser.

    When I try to apply the MTL file, it doesn't show up in the browse window.  I seem to remember being able to apply textures by pointing to that file.  Out of the 2 Star Wars models I converted (from 3DS), the snow speeder worked great (textures applied correctly when imported into Daz), but the Slave I didn't.

    I converted a lightwave version of the police car from Blade Runner.  The textures did not come over, but the colors did.  I've been manually applying the textures from the original Lightwave ZIP.  It's pretty tedious because the JPG names don't always match up to the material names in the Surface tab.  However, it will be so worth it once I'm done.

    Outstanding work harold! What renderer did you use?

    Thanks for the tip on the shuttle, picked it up also.

    ...I agree. These and the hallway shots look like stills from the films.

    Is the difference in how words are separated in the filename? If so, it's a pretty general problem, since not all 3D programs have the same standards for "allowed" and "not allowed" characters in filenames. Some allow spaces, some convert spaces or dashes to underlines, some smash case to ALL CAPS or truncate names to the old DOS 8.3 character limit. It's a bit of a mess sometimes; I'm actually surprised the process works as well as it does as often as it does.

    Thanks for the kind words guys, @FSMCDesigns, I used iRay for these renders, really good for this kinda work as you can make all the physical light panels in the scene the actual light sources for that scene rather than having to fudge the lighting by putting your own lights in, gives you a much more authentic look for interior shots like this.

    Oh, and these are a non too subtle hint at what you can expect next from me. Once they've had a bit of a spring clean and all that.

    I finished adding the textures to the Blade Runner police car and it looks awesome.  Now I'll start converting some star wars models.  Hopefully, I won't have to maunally reapply all the textures on every one of them.

    I exported a porg model from XNALara and, well...  Given the rather penguin like form, what else would a Monty Python fan do with one? laugh

    Slightly OT, but does anyone else here think that Rogue One is a much better movie than The Last Jedi?

    I just finished watching Rogue One again.  No spoilers, but the pacing, effects shots, etc.  well IMHO it's just a much more exciting movie overall.

    And of course, some pretty good quotes, including this variant on probably the most famous Star Wars quote...

         'The Force is with me, and I am One with the Force...'

    And some very memorable characters in Rogue One.  In one respect, it's too bad we (most likely) won't be seeing them again, but then them's the breaks.  The Rogue One ending, well I think it struck the right balance...

    Of course, we have Solo: A Star Wars Story coming on deck May 25th.  I'm not getting my hopes up too much (I'm, well let's say I'm not overly impressed with the last three Star Wars movies, i.e. III, VII, and VIII), but yeah, if it turns out well... I guess we'll see...

    Anyways, looking forward to the next round of Star Wars related renders... no doubt the Solo movie may inspire a few...  Nice job on the art everyone!

    I loved Rogue One instantly. I had to watch The Last Jedi twice to get settled with the idea.

    I really, really liked almost everything in the Rey-adjacent plotline, I thought the vast majority of the Resistance focused stuff was just unnecessary, drove the entire story backwards, and made characters that might have otherwise been likable very, very unlikable. I liked the intro with the bombers that apparently a lot of people hate, it was good Star Wars. I finally grew accustomed to the idea that everyone is overpowered in this trilogy so I'm more or less fine with most of the "holy crap" Force stuff that happened too.

    The only thing that I severely disliked was that the movie felt like it didn't flow naturally from TFA at all. Like the director made a movie in some alternate universe.

    Luke reuniting with R2 gave me feelings I didn't know I had.

    Rogue One was just a really good standalone movie though. It's such a good Star Wars movie and it's such a decent space opera movie just on its own, it's not actually necessary to know about Star Wars at all to enjoy it I would think. I hope Solo strikes the same chords.

    I loved it and I hated it for the simple fact, they all die in the end which really bummed me out. I realize that is how it had to play out based on the larger storyline, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Would be great if another movie came out where somehow Jen Orso survived and a new story emerged since we are now getting into original story ideas not based on the earler movies timeline scenarios

    I thought the Last Jedi had some cool moments, but overall I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would be. I have a pretty extensive DVD collection and rewatch movies often, especially ones I really like, but the newer SW ones don't really make me want to have repeat showings like the originals did.

    I was trying not to spoil the Rogue One ending, for those that hadn't seen it yet.  That being said, yeah I'd have loved to see some of the characters in a subsequent film, but alas...

    Episode VII and VIII, well there are things that 'tug' at me in those movies, mainly because Han and Luke are reprising their roles, and both have enough moments that I don't hate them, but I don't feel compelled to watch them over and over again.  Rogue One, however, is something I very much enjoy coming back to.

    As for Episode III... I left the theater muttering 'That's 2+ hours of my life I'm not getting back...'.  Short form, from my perspective anyways, we knew going in what was going to happen, and the writers/directors just let it happen, not trying really at all to 'mix things up' with 'plot twists, teetering on the edge, etc, so for me that was an inexorable grind to how we knew it was going to end... it was a pretty film, but yeah...

    I didn't mind Jar Jar as much as some others did.  But then I liked the Ewoks too, they were fun!  So Episodes 1 and 2 I don't mind... but after that...

    The only reason I don't watch Episodes IV-VI more is because I don't have them on DVD, and I haven't found the collections 'on sale' for what I would consider reasonable.  Yeah they are great movies (I have them on VHS, dunno if they are still watchable though as VHS deteriorates over time), but those movies are 35+ years old at this point... I tend to be frugal with my DVD buying, and paying 'full price' for something that is decades old... umm yeah...

    The original Trilogy is, well, classic.  For me, the only subsequent movies that have even come close to those were Episode I and Rogue One... Definite Qui Gonn Jinn fan here! And yet another example of killing off one of the best characters... but then they want us to know that the universe is a dangerous place and all that...

    On a related note, Disney likes to charge premiums for their older DVDs... the Marvel Cinematic Universe being another good example of this... *sigh*.

    Back on topic though, yeah Rogue One definitely had some cool designs, characters, etc. going on.  It's very fan art friendly...

    I found a K-2SO .stl, converted it to .obj, then 'assembled' the pieces in Hexagon.  It'd probably be a lot of work to separate out the joints and articulate the fingers, limbs, add textures/color zones, etc. but maybe I can use this as a sculpture piece or something...
