we need one or two guys who know enough of truespace/pcs etc to help us converting ships for other games to fs2 and test them with the last fsopen releases to see if they can be used.
this doesn't require artistic skills, just enough time and modding knowledge to make some format conversions and transform a simple mesh into a pof

Have you consulted with Star Dragon about this? He may even have poffed some of the ships you're on about already.

I can convert models from the game X-wing alliance and I can work with truespace and PCS, too.
But I'm not very good in making LODs or path editing.

Here is an example of my work:





Oh, and the latest SCP release doesnt work on my PC.

[TopAce]

It's a TIE Defender. Good!
SW-C has great problems with turreting, LODing and sizes.
For example the Corellian corvette has its turrets on the geometry itself, so it is not operational. about Sizes: The X-wing is larger than a B-wing. The B-wing has the size a TIE fighter must have.

[Sigma]

OK, does the SW-C still need help with modeling or not?

[Black Wolf]

Always We need texturers more, but modellers wouldn;t go astray. A sample would be nice first though.

KARMA asked for people who could convert ships from other games. I can do that.
If you want I can send you my TIE Defender as a sample.

Oh - doh. My bad. I read modelling and made some leaps without connecting all the dots I think, what he wants is for whoever ends up doing this to get Darksabres opts and convert them into FS2 format - if you can do it with the TD you should also be able to do it with them. However, this is his thread, so I should probably let him answer

[TopAce]

We would rather need some legally usable ships. So we can touch them.

[Starks]

What is LODing?

[TopAce]

The sequence in which, you give LODs to your model
OK, this hasn't taken you closer to it.
LODs are Level of Detail. If you get further away from a ship, it has a lower polynumber model displayed, and the FPS increases.

Darksabres opts are legally useable - they're his mods, and he's given us permission to use them.

[KARMA]

yes, I need somebody to convert some Darksaber's models and test them in game
Sigma... if you can do that..you welcome:)

Yes, I can do this. OK, I join the sw-c staff!

Which ships are those? I guess they are only a few of all.

to Sigma: Aren't you engaged with your own project? Otherwise you are welcome. . We will give you a nice avatar and a better-than Myrmidon status.
That SW-C abbreviation is my mania, others call it SWTC, or simply SW. But you can take in if you want. It is not protected by copyright

Darksabers opts are great. You can find them here.

And yes I have my own project too but I have enough time to work on both.

[KARMA]

yes, we are looking exactly for those opts.
darksaber gave us permission to use them, but it was hard to use them before due to intercepting polys, now his models should work better with fs2open, but we need someone to test em, we'll discuss about what we exactly need in internal forum

You know that I am not a modeller, so can you explain my what is 'intercepting poly'?

[Hippo]

when two planes intersect... like when drawing 2 spheres intersecting like a venn diagram, but not exactly...
