Without undue pomp and ceremony, I gladly present our X-Wing Special thanks to Jacek and Herra for the conversion!  (I'm aware that the thruster glows are wrong, they're default FS)    |

For any worried fans out there, don't worry those aren't the final thruster colors. They'll be red of course.

No, we decided we're not going to do thrusters period. If you want thruster glows in game you'll have to take screen shots and do them in post.
I kid I kid, yes they're being worked on

Stunning work, looks beautiful! I actually like the blue glow of the thrusters, but for the incredible amount of canon-nazis out there it might be wiser to change them to red. I have absolutely no knowledge of converting models and stuff. If the model was already finished why did it take so long to get it in game? I'll understand if no one feels like explaining  . Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see a screenshot with x-wings, ties, and y-wings going at it. |

Well basically it took so long because A) LODs weren't done, B) the maps weren't converted to DDS, and C) We didn't have anyone willing to do the conversion, and I'm more of an art guy than a technical guy on that front. Remember, I just make things pretty, I don't make them work.

Jacek only started on this stuff a month or so ago, and even then he had to figure out the DAE export method for Max to maintain smoothgroups. So far we've only got a couple ships, hopefully there's more to come.

You just had to make the first shot the Yavin beauty shot from the movies, didn't you?  |

Lighting in the first shot looks a little odd.
