Hey there! I know it's very demanding to port models (rigging, occasional retexture, etc.), but would it be possible to port the newer Battlefront models? I know there are already stormtroopers, the basic TIE fighter, and alot of the weapons have been ported to source. But I could really use some other models, such as rebels or imperial officers (from the new DLC) with faceposing. Now I do know that all of that is ALOT to ask for, but I'm just gonna go ahead and throw it out there. I'm sure there's alot of SFM'ers who also have Star Wars ideas they'd like to pursue. Thank you for reading this!

Hellooooooo. I stayed up until 3 for some reason but in that time I made this little test. Personally, I think the lines should expand more before the jump, but it was 3 in the morning and I wanted to sleep. Anyways, I wondered if making a hyperspace jump in SFM without external programs was possible, though I only got the first part of the jump. The blue tunnel thing is something I'll have to figure out. With this test, I take my first step into a larger project, one I hope to complete in the next few weeks before school. Critique welcome!

Guess I'll try to make the most Michael Bay-esque 10 seconds ever... xD

Really appreciate the support, thanks!

Ah, so like "blocking" before actually doing the animation? I think my potato of a laptop could at least do that. Thanks for the input!

Hi there OSFM! So I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Let me explain.

I'm not currently able to piddle around with SFM extensively right now because of college. However, I do know for a fact that I will have time in a few months, so I've had alot of ideas bouncing around in my head. Sometimes, I actually write them down, but I can't ever flesh them out like I want and the times when I have completed an SFM were simple animation tests. I always get so pumped and excited and then after animating for a few hours I lose steam (no pun intended) and never really pick up the project again. It's not because I'm disinterested: actually the opposite. I just get frustrated that I get an awesome idea and I lack the ability to put that into movie form.

So for the record, I have experience with storyboarding and writing scripts, just not for big projects like I have in mind. I was wondering if anyone in the OSFM community could give me some pointers regarding scripts and/or storyboards. I literally mean anything that you do that helps you have a clear goal for the final product before you hit Ctrl+L and load up your map. I'm probably the one black sheep in the whole herd who doesn't have issues with the animation part as much as he has issues with the planning and execution part. Thank you!

I know there are capital ships already on the workshop from KOTOR, and that's awesome. However, I find the lack of Star Destroyers as disturbing as the lack of Star Wars SFM videos currently up. I'm sure I am not the only one who would appreciate a symbol of Imperial might or Rebel resistance duking it out. I know there have been fighters ported from SW:EAW, and one capital ship from FOC. But the iconic ships found in the original trilogy have still not been ported over. They may be low-poly or low-res since Empire at War is an rts, but that's fine with me. All it really takes for that is a reskin, and even still the models look decent enough without that. It would certainly help in any future Star Wars vids. I just feel really limited at the moment when trying to make a Star Wars movie without one of the things that makes a Star Wars movie a Star Wars movie

Help me Open Sourcefilmmaker: you're my only hope...
