Don't suppose you've any 1S shots lying around perchance?

If you've interest in actually flying a VF-1, perhaps you should follow this thread:

haha thats my thread but im in need of some help with textures atm and the 3d cockpit
friend of mine was helping with the mesh but he is busy atm so project is on hold but the VF-1 flys better then one would think

[Thaeris]

Well, alright! Yourself along with Commander Zane make for two chaps I know on both the HLP and X-Plane.org!

More importantly,



It's good to have you on board... tell us what the problem is and someone will surely lend a hand.

well i found some one that had modeled the cockpit at one point and they said i could use but im on my own to convert it
 but its in a very old format and im not that great at blender friend of mine was doing most of the mesh work wile i work on the flight model
both are pretty much done leaving texturing and cockpit

the plan is to have 2 skins one perfectly clean in the demo team colors and another with weathering

as far as the cockpit goes things i need help with canopy needs to be done and a glass texture added

long term at some point im going write a new FLCS for it that will work more like the F-35s as well as the space FLCS and add fastpacks and an OMS system

[Thaeris]

What file format is the cockpit? I might be able to help with inports/exports - I run AC3D, and thus I can help with these file formats:

Also, you might try contacting Brand if you'd like to try and use his model geometry. I'm not sure you'd want to do that, but it's just a suggestion.

Lastly, do you have any experience working with FreeSpace? There was a Macross Mod a while back - I'm sure RoboGetter G would be interested in a newer, better VF-1 to employ.

friend of mine help with model mesh so for the most part that is done and totally original
thats the one you see in the XP thread
the cockpit i was loaned as it were is in .cob

[Thaeris]

.cob? 

Good Lord, I despise Truespace files utterly. However, I do have an importer for those wretched files for use with Blender, which I'll happily attach for you...

Brand, should you care to, would you mind critiquing thier model geometry? I'm sure some detailed analysis of their aircraft would be appreciated.

Was that a hint? Yes they basically suck, but hey it's what's out there. Plus MP would probably be hurt if I didn't use the 12 or so models he made for me...

  Kidding. Of course if Brandx0 ever takes that monster and turns it into a game mesh I would be thrilled.
But more importantly my efforts would be just that much less of an eyesore to Thaeris and the anti-LP ilk...

 

And speaking of higher poly works, it's not like I can plop my favorate FS2 YF-19 (I recovered) into a  Robotech mod.   The damn franchise police would be out in force and the forums would riot all over the damn internetz.

Oh Noes!

[Thaeris]

 

I'm not sure what you're getting at there, Getter!

Then consider yourself lucky, I won't go into detail about the 25+ year war between RT and Macross fans cause of Harmony Gold's stupidity of taking undue advantage of the legal system instead of making a partnership with the actual CREATORS of the source IP that would have benefited both greatly. (I blame mostly on the shoulders of one Frank Agarma)...

People like me who are fans of both franchises (American and Japanese) equally get caught in the crossfire and told we need to choose one side or the other otherwise our "fandom" is in question. I choose to give them all the finger!
