Title: Mara in 3ds format with texturing needed
Post by: Warlock on February 23, 2001, 12:17:00 pm
Hey guys, the fellow that helped me out with a few of the SL ships, HCI, asked if I can get him a 3ds version of the Mara for him to use in his Starlancer. So anyone able to convert one to 3ds with the texturing set correctly?

Not any more though eh?

Note to staff: see? I told you adding this feature to the ship database would be a great idea  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Thunder already helped me out with one  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

All I need was one Mara, I told HCI I'd get him a FS2 ship if he wanted one for helping out. I know they can convert 3ds format with textures into SL's SHP format (SHP is like POF with the TBL data added for each ship).

Thunder and I did talk about a joint effort between FS2 and SL in a corss directory of models for each.

Figured this could be great for both groups...the standard ships from both games alone could greatly enhance each game's MODding arena.

I didn't get it if Shrike gave you the Mara in 3DS. I you still need it, mail me. I can (probably) fix it.

*Points up*

As I said thunder helped me out with it already.

But thanks to all of yall for offering  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Now if someone would like to write out how to pull a POF to COB and align the V made texture skin so that it looks right I could use that  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) heh

As for the texture alignment, I know that Styxx had to do that to several models for his trailer. Email him at  [email protected]  (that is the address I remember).

all the data is there it's just upsidown backwards insideout and covered over by a layer of white paint.
and the funny thing is I'm being completly honest,that is exactly what POF2COB dose to a POF.
so you just have torevers its dimentions twice, once alonge the x axis once along the z axis, rotate it around, flip it over and uncheck a box that pasts a white layer over it.
**for cool lookingnes in TS**
then i recomend useing the layered reflectances to gat a cool looking effect with the glows and shinynes, and don't forget the bump map.

Hard Light Productions hopes to make an area such as this functional soon, including COB, 3DS and LW file formats for all Freespace ships.
