I've just thought. Why not just load it directly into Lithunwrap and save it as a cob? I'm not sure what formats it supports but it's more than a few. I'm digging through my old archive of dxf and scn files but most of them are just old squadwar stuff.
Once doctor who's finished i'll do more:)

I general model random stuff when I'm bored

        Hmmn, what I did was:
         Export as OBJ file
         Load in 3d Exploration, save as COB file
         Load in Truespace 3.2, do Hierarchy Crap
         Load in PCS/ModelView/Whatever and do the other stuff

         Though my 3DExplor trial has no doubt expired so I dunno how I'm gonna get newer stuff into the game.

 
         Also I think so dude was working on some Maya related thing, XML support or I dunno. But haven't heard anything about that recently.

Where do i get 3d exploration ? I have slight difficulty running around truespace because I'm too used to Maya's arcball camera.

As I understand it, that version should keep running after it expires, but it does nag you.

Lithunwrap can save as cob, but usually not in a way that will allow PCS2 to recognise the hierarchy. The same goes for 3d exploration in fact, because they don't save the lights that PCS2 uses as hierarchy markers. It means TS will still have to be the final launching platform for the model before PCS2 can make use of it.

So just load the objects into Truespace and resave it with hierarchy. Do each ojbect in LU before assigning lights and such  i think?

[Wanderer]

Yeah.. That works.

* 1.833 (no nag)

Nice for one of your old models, I have a few like it off the net.

I especially like the back/engine part. When I saw it I was thinking uly also.

Much obliged, I don't quite follow the 1.833 though, Wassat? 

[jdjtcagle]

congrats

I like the textures

[Colonol Dekker]

Cheers!
The texturing is thanks to lithunwrap providing a template, and Scooby Doo providing a texture making tutorial.

It makes me think of the Canberra.

[Colonol Dekker]

Which is :huh:

[Scooby_Doo]

The fighter-jet/bomber/recon


Always liked this plane. 

[Stormkeeper]

o_O It does look similar.

The Canberra is also a Cruise ship. But nice work Dekker, but don't try to work on it when you are drunk.

You never know...might produce something VERY interesting

* Hades shudders at the thought of what interesting would be.

It wouldn't be as SHAFT like as that weird corvette topic

I have a modelling question. I don't think it warrants its own thread, and i hope you don't mind Dekker.

If my model is made up of a single cube extruded like mad, do I still need heirachy ?

[Colonol Dekker]

Only if you have sub-models
