Water: Thanks! I'll try that VF-11 out soon! I need to revamp the basic map and then make a mylene one (pink).
Colonel: Hehe didn't notice earlier you could try diff formats...
It seems the .3ds exporter is bonked (at least for me).
.Obj works better but has some sort of texture issues. I can open the raw model and add a base color but for some reason adding certain textures causes 3dexpltation to crash? That's never happened before from a texture assigning!
We have three VF-s's. The old one, the HW2 one I was using as a placeholder, and the new Macorss VO one which I have decided is the long term placeholder if not final model.
Have you gone through our screenshots thread on Game Warden?
I also have a stickie for a "to DL List".
If things don't pick up I'm afraid matt will cull us from the active list of mods.
Yeah I get what you mean about sketchup. I was just really surprised how good people could use it, especially some fo those 500k+ models. I reduced a 500k carrier to only 230kish just fro my own fun (maybe a render later) in a form more CPU friendly as soem fo them I can barely rotate without crashing, lol!)
There are gobs of talented people who contributed there... Maybe some of our artists should start accounts there as a backup of there works, and to spread awareness of FS2 modeling.
Not only is the warehuse a great source of models, more importantly having all of them in one place under a searchable engine is awesome for IDEAS when thinking of a ship design because all the various styles can be seen relatively quickly on one site!!!
As for MACROSS (not teh RT mod) I made a new freind and will be gettign some M7/MF models from him (like a SWEET low poly B7!) I have it now and untextured VF-17, Uraga Carrier and North Hampton Frigate(?)
Anyway I hooked him up with MP's M7 models and more anime love will no doubt follow, non mod related, but is a great boost to my fanfic pic ability!
