Title: panzer attack! finally some model success!
Post by: beatspete on May 05, 2003, 03:20:07 pm: :lol:

Today i made my first freespace ship! Yey! I'd had the software for a while, but only recently de-coded truespace's interface of doom. So i managed Sandwich's tutorial (very helpful), then went on to do the tutorial in the Freespace Oracle, also very helpful. I had a go at a turret with an arm... on a rather strange model:

Model is pants, textures suck. I was gonna do this, but it just wasnt as funny:

Anyway, my question is thus - how do i set a field of view for the turrets? As you can see my lovely little tanks are firing in all directions.
Yes, i made the shell too.

Welcome to the better world of Freespace 2 modeling.

That is so funny. Of course, I do have a slightly odd sense of humour.

Post by: beatspete on May 06, 2003, 04:17:54 pm: Ok, another question - glow points for engines - how do i do them? I can make subsystems etc, but how do i get the glowing effect... and for fighters, do the engine exhaust "flames" just animate themselves if i use the relevant thrust texture?
