Title: Models awaiting uvmapping
Post by: IPAndrews on June 02, 2005, 04:21:38 am: Here is a list of current uvmapping jobs. If you pick up one of these jobs please make a post here so everyone knows. Similarly, if you complete a job (or give up on it) post here also.

If you don't have access to the FTP and model dump directory I can mail or ICQ transfer the appropriate archive to you.

CR Blockade Mine
CR Marcanos (pyramid base)
EA Hyperspace Beacon
EA Maint Fury

UV mapping guidelines:

* Use as few maps as possible
* Limit maps to 1024x1024 in size
* Maps need not be square but the length and width must both be powers of 2 (eg: 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024)
* We uvmapping in Lithium Unwrapper ( cut & paste into address bar http://members.fortunecity.com/ian_paul_andrews/fs2mods/shipcreationguide/lithunwrap1-3.zip ). If you want to try using 3DSM do a small test first and send me the results to check. I have seen UV mapping in 3DSM pull models apart making them non-solid. Increasing their poly count and making them difficult to work with.

Anyone willing to try uvampping the hyperspace probe? I simply can't uvmap and I would be happy to see this one in 3.2.

cob -> 3dsm -> cob for the sake of a uvmap? I don't think so ;7

Serisouly someone who can use Lithunwrap should step up for this one.

The model should be on the ftp modeldump (hyperspacebeacon.rar, I believe). It's lwo, but 3dexploration can convert it easily enough.
