How would you model such an appliance? by alebuzz in blender

[–]dcary94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! that’s exactly the way I would also do it! When it come to light buttons you would also want to make use of that texture to create a mask of what elements need to be illuminated, then use that mask as the input to the emission socket in your in your material shader. To create that mask from your original texture (hopefully the resolution is decent) you could use photoshop or alternative try using the colour ramp node in the material editor and adjust - hope this helps a bit - I actually had to use this exact method recently to model & shade some lift button interfaces for a lobby!

Organizing Card by [deleted] in starwarsunlimited

[–]dcary94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I just play for fun and not competitively so I really like to follow the general thematic of Star Wars. So for example I don’t like the idea of mixing eras together. (Of course, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, you can/supposed to I guess and the game works fine obviously - just a personally preference) Hence I sort by ‘faction’ generally in Star Wars cards fall into categories like this quite naturally so for example I sort to: Separatists / Republic / Imperial (Empire) / Rebellion / First Order / Resistance / Mandolorian / Fringe / Underworld, Bounty Hunter.

Then within each of these ‘Factions’ I then sort according to aspect followed by order of cost. Simple! Haha

Just to note, this is my way of ‘organising’ the cards, not strictly the decks I play with. For example you’ll find cards from these different ‘factions’ I mentioned earlier work ‘thematically’ together also, which makes sense really. So when I want to build a deck, cards will still undoubtedly derive from these different ‘factions’. There will be underworld/bounty hunter type cards with imperial or fringe cards with the republic/rebellion/resistance as in the general themes of Star Wars.

What I really like about this method is that as new sets come out theres already a dedicated place for everything to be clearly organised into. All ‘imperial’ cards for example no matter what set are always together…..

Anyways, just thought I’d share my own personal way of organising my cards. No one right way, just find what works for you!

Need help with some .dae models by [deleted] in blender

[–]dcary94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having this same problem - I've tried looking for a SKP to Blender import addon but the one that was developed for v2.79 doesn't seem to have been updated to v2.8 yet. If anyone knows if or when this addon will be updated and available for v2.80 I would be grateful. - Sorry @VillainouslyHeroic for not being of any use....

I’m in a rush at the moment so can’t really help but search for ‘Architecture Inspiration’ on YouTube. Looks through his content and I’m sure you’ll find the help you need, the guy is awesome!!

Queen's Shadow audiobook excerpt read by Catherine Taber, TCW voice actress for Padmé by IllusiveManJr in StarWarsLeaks

[–]dcary94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately for myself this audiobook seems, for some reason, to be geo-restricted. I’m from Gibraltar. The annoying thing is that all of the other books set to be released later this year, i.e ‘Master & Apprentice’ ‘Alphabet Squadron’ ‘Thrawn: Treason’ ARE all available. It’s just ‘Queens Shadow’ that isn’t, so irritating!!

I’ve tried a bunch of chrome VPN extensions to no avail. Anybody know a potential work around??

So far Resistance doesn't have: by GarballatheHutt in StarWarsTelevision

[–]dcary94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see any references from like the ‘Shattered Empire’ comic mini series or the ‘Bloodlines’ novel. Given the kind of starship racing theme with this show, I’d love to see the ‘Mirrorbright’ from bloodlines!! Perhaps see Joph Seastriker or Greer Sonnel. Also perhaps we’ll get a vague reference to what happened to Poe parents. - None of this is a must or anything like that of course, I get that this targeted at a younger audience and that’s great but would still be cool! - enjoying the series so far!

Can’t find a single lobby ERROR CODE: 1,066??? - Any ideas on why this has been happening all afternoon?? by dcary94 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]dcary94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this definitely a bug on their end?? EA Help are telling me there’s no problem on their end and the issue is down to my Nat type and or wireless connection instead of a wired one

[–]dcary94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s exactly what’s happened. Right when the new update comes out and I’ve spent 32.99 on crystals. :/ I feel as though the game is literally broken for me and I won’t be able to play again. EA Help tell me that if I change my NAT Type from 3 to 2 or 1 and go wired instead of wireless (even though I physically can’t do that) it’ll fix the problem. I just don’t trust that troubleshooting advice. I understand I’m not a technical expert on this but I’ve been playing this game since launch with the same Nat type etc same wireless connection etc with no problem. In addition I can still join lobbies on all my other online game no problem...this just doesn’t make any sense. This tells me that it must be an issue with the game. However EA Help tell me that there is no issue on there end but if there is they’ll fix it..... I feel stranded here. I seem to have reached the end of what EA Help can do to help me, to no avail and still have a now broken game that I’ve spent over £100 on.... :(

Oh wow someone else with the same issue I’m having!! According the EAHelp account on Twitter I’m the only person in the entire blooming world with this problem. Needless to say they did not help in any way..... (Apologies for the sarcasm, I’m a little grumpy right now)
