To anyone who wants to know:

As I had not received word by the two users who posted their BSG related materials up here about when their material was going to be available, I began to try to find other sites and other programs that utilizes BSG stuff. I'm not sure how many here are familiar with the program Moviestorm, but it's kinda like the movie-making ability of "The Movies" with the set and Sim character creation of "The Sims 2" rolled together.

Anyways, one user has created a lot of the BSG Colonial Fleet ships for Moviestorm. You can check it out here: http://3dtree3bs.blogspot.com/2009/05/bsg-colonial-fleet-4-ms.html

The user has a blog with several other downloadable addons, which can be found here: http://3dtree3bs.blogspot.com/

Anyways, thanks to users like this guy you can combine footage from "Moviestorm", "The Movies" and "The Sims 2" (which I know has some RIS BSG related materials, including a Cylon Centurion), you can be making your own RIS BSG machinima in no time.

Enjoy!

I hope that these become available soon. I could definitely use them for my machinima comic book fan fiction series.

Here you can see you can make the camera fly up to the landing bays.

I have made 2 landing bays larger (old & new Galactica) so you can place the smaller ships and make a better fly through sequence. (I have used an overlay for the cockpit in this one, complete with flashing console lights).

These are the new series BSG DU and flightsuits I made last year. I also added in-game costume sliders for the sash, trim, badges, collar pins, and patches.

And these are most of the BSG models that I have modded into the game (not created).

Some I have enabled to be used in flying scenes.

The interior that came with JHoagland's Viper only had a forward console texture (that wasn't based on the actual console) seat, and joystick. I have re-textured these using graphics designed by Joel Owen (www.joelowens.org/bsg).

Whereas the Cylon Raider (Author Unknown found www.battleclinic.com/docks webpages) that I modded from .mod format didn't have an interior, so I had to create one. I used the seats from the "helicopter" mesh from The Movies game in order to be able to line it up with the actors. But its still a WIP as I need to create consoles and of course to add a seated Cylon prop in order to make up the three.

Nice looking work. Any interiors?

Here you can see my TOS Colonial Warrior and DU textures. I have made these costumes with sliders to change patches, rank, and badges within game wardrobe. With my New Series BSG textures I have only made the flightsuit and the blue DU.

I have also modded one of the TOS Vipers to have a cockpit for the actors (in this image I placed the viper /w cockpit over a standing actor to give you an idea). I have also made a cockpit for a Cylon Raider to be used with the "Helicopter Chat" scenes but I need to make a seated Cylon prop to place in the third seat as well as some consoles.

I'm not quite happy with the helmet though, (I modded it from a poser mesh by Darrell Lawrence found on Colonialfleets website) as I have made it a little too big and I need to adjust its position on the actor as it needs to come a little forward (if you didn't set a thin haircut you would see the actor's hair protruding through it). The Viper was modded from JHoagland's Poser mesh found VanishingPoint free items webpage.

I'm still not happy with them yet. As you can see in this image of the cylons, their costume underneath is protruding through their armour (thighs and upper arms).

I believe its a weight paint and the way I've joined the meshes issue.

The cylon mesh is a Poser mesh by Billy Bowers on ShareCG.com that I modded. The textures are made up from photos from the internet (for the chrome) as well as the "com_m_fut_tz3_1" costume texture. For the colonial warrior uniform I used the "cos_m_wes_1.msh" and just added the holster and made my own costume texture also from internet pics of the jacket and emblems/patches.

Those look awesome mycarz! Will they be for public consumption or just yours? Either way they look great.
