Guess we have a keeper then.

What do you think of the texture now?

lookin' good

[DahBlount]

I can't help but feel like it needs a bit more grunge and while I know how to add it I want someones opinion on it first.

[Droid803]

Could also use some panel lines and metal-texture. Depends what you want the material to be.

[DahBlount]

The ship is going to be painted over, so I believe maybe some grunge, panel lines, and bolts are in order.

What do you think of the texture now?

This looks very similar to certain fighters. I like that. Gives a very Yukikaze vibe to it.

The Gilgamesh is a Multi-role fighter that is designed with the balance of speed/maneuverability and payload in mind. It's most distinctive feature is the lack of a glass cockpit in favor of a COFFIN (Connection For Flight Interface) system. (Those who have played an of the Ace Combat games would know of it)

My sincere for this one! Seems a compromise between the XFA-36 and the R-100 Delphinus Family. Thank you for bringing such a concept to FreeSpace!

[DahBlount]

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get it all exported and in-game.

So for LOD2 I sealed off the gun and missile ports. This wont be a problem if it is set to appear at 160m right?

Shouldn't, given you'll be too far away from it to notice.

[DahBlount]

Okay then, thanks.

Here is an update on the texture.

Now it seems a tribute to the FALKEN.

[DahBlount]

Now it seems a tribute to the FALKEN.

It was one of my favorites back in the day.

You could say it is a tribute to the ACES project itself.

P.S.: The texture is pretty much finished. Prepare yourself.

[DahBlount]

Anybody mind telling me why I can't import .dae with PCS?

[Droid803]

Probably because you're not using the right version of PCS2.

[fightermedic]

you are using pcs 2.1?

[DahBlount]

I'm using PCS 2.0.3, at least, that's what it says when I run it.

Edit: Got PCS 2.1 and it works now. I need to keep up to date with all this stuff.

[Droid803]

Please make sure it's the correct PCS 2.1 (this one), and not the one from this thread, which links to a version that spits out buggy models on DAE->pmf/pof conversion.

I really wish someone would update the sticky, or un-sticky it, because the last thing I want to hear is people complaining about lag when the ship explodes, rapidly spinning debris, and/or other crashes that result from using that version which likes to set radii on random subobjects to arbitrary small numbers, and sometimes even negative numbers (yes, negative radius...which by how FSO uses radii, is entirely non-physical...hence crashes).
