As for the UV-mapping business, couldn't this be done with a "main" UV-map combined with a "trim" map, containing all the little bits used as trim? Sort of like how in retail models there was often a mix of large section textures, tile maps, and trim... except trying to limit it to one texture for trim and a single unwrapped map for everything else.

I don't see the need for gas in the sensor pods. That sounds like a Vasudan thing to me. I mean the things inside the pods are supposed to spin, 'cause I heard you like spinning so I put spinny things on your spinny things so you can- I'll stop.

Aardwolf, that could work but trim takes up barely any space on a UV map. Since most of it will probably be hidden by the AO map and its small, you can reduce the size of it in the UV map and just litter it in any spot you could fit it.

Yay. I like spinning.

-right round, like a record baby, right round, round round. You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round.

Yes, yes, we all know the lyrics too.

[Commander Zane]

Loving the model.

[Colonol Dekker]

Needs more pie in the tins.


Also, what'd you make that in looks like sketchup. AFAIK Sketchup can't be imported to FS2, if so.. You've got another three modellers for the project.

(1) AFAIK Axem uses Wings
(2) Sketchup can be imported into fs, just not directly.

Oh Kay.

It is Sunday, and I have kept my promise. Have fun with this 18k poly monster of mine. Feel free to re-optimize it if you wish.

thanks Axem!


Is this release part of JAD 5?
because the .obj is fine, the 3ds is missing some parts. 

[Axem]

I blame Wings' 3ds exporter. It is crap. Use OBJ instead then!

[sigtau]

...any progress? 

[Commander Zane]

How's the GTA Internets doing?

[Sab0o]

UV'd, time to get texturing. I need me some motivation.

[Dragon]

Looks good, can't wait to see it with textures done.

[Lester]

Holy ****, that's a good model. Definitely looking forward to seeing it in-game.

[Luis Dias]

Yeah I remember this back when. Good to see some progress will be made in it! Cheers!

[Liberator]

That...is sexy.

[Kolgena]

Excellent.

Make sure the AO under the spinny dome things makes sense. Remember that left over shadowing when the dome has rotated away or been destroyed will look fugly.
