I like her a lot - and the guy too, though he seems a bit POTF2-ish.  But that's probably ok.

Are we not supposed to use POTF2 figures for this?

I'd like to do a couple citizens. Are there any species that are NOT wanted? I haven't been able to follow the various threads so sorry if this is mentioned somewhere already.

Also, what about stuff like custom R2s and protocol droids? Needed?

Here's a figure I did for the project. It was my first try at Apoxy sculpt and some paint wash techniques.

I think that I'm getting a little bit confused.  I am not sure which is the "official" site -

http://ultimategroupproject.t-j-p.net/UGPmain.html

OR

http://www.elmeaux.com/ugp/site/

 :P

There's nothing to be confused about. I wanted to test the site and don't have access to Pen's live server so I put it up on mine. That's why I said "sneak preview"; sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Also, shouldn't the "official site" link be http://www.u-g-p.com ?

And as far as I know, we are still waiting on someone to step up and write some copy for this thing.

Woot! The site is almost done. Just waiting on some content really.

I've tested the site in FireFox 1.5 & IE 6 on PC and Safari 2 on the Mac. Everything seems to be working though Safari has issues with the transparancy effects.

To check out a "sneak preview" click here. Design works best with 1280x1024+ resolution but 1024x768 will do with minimal scrolling. And as with most sites these days you'll need to have javascript enabled. If you encounter any problems let me know what they are and what browser/platform you are on. Thanks!

Just checking in.

Thanks for the comments. My design was basically an exercise to determine a the look/feel rather than a set funtionality since that was the task listed. The idea I was going for was some sort of data pad, sort of like they watched the pod race with in EP 1. I agree it needs a bit more detailed to be effective.

The alien text was a place holder since nothing was nailed down yet. My idea was for there to be a rollover as Glassman6 mentioned. I also envisioned the lower left buttons to be operational (scroll through highlights) as well as the symbols over the pictures (go to that section). 

Also, I'm anticipating the layout changing as needed from page to page but I really need some organized content so I can plan that out. Has anyone gotten that done yet? Text? Pics? In a central location?

I will commit to knocking out the site build but I need someone to commit to getting the content organized. I'm in between projects so the sooner the better because I know my next one is coming up.

Also, I'm thinking there needs to be some type of FAQ. Since the idea is to attract new folks they need to know what it is about.

trying to hit the main points on a break here:

Contact Us could easily be handled by a link on each page. No need to have a page with no content. I do think every site should have some sort of contact info, be it only an email address.

While the map page is up, I don't actually get a map, just the markers. It says image not available. Not sure if it's a site problem because I clicked a link to one of the other folks page and the map showed up there so someone might want to look into that.

The main benefit of the cms would be more timely updates. Obviously this is an issue since we are this far along with no site in part due to everyone's busy schedule. It would give non tech folks the ability to add stuff.

Is "FIGUREs, VEHICLEs, DIORAMAs, SPONSORs, C4,  & CREDIT" the final word on sections? Looks like I'll have a little free time right after Christmas so I might have a go at a design for this thing. Is there an organized source for image files and stuff or are you guys just pulling them off the different threads on this forum?

How do I find the map thingie? I clicked the link but it didn't take me to it, just a generic frapper page.

PS - Elmeaux, Smarty, and Patreek, you got email - ya know... finally   :-[


I never got an email!  :o
I've been wondering what was up with this, but the Yakface forum where I first chimed in is always so buggy I can almost never check it. Just happened to end up here today off of a link. Let me know what needs doing.
