Title: Why doesn't anyone ever release any of these? (WARNING: BIG PICS)
Post by: Turey on October 09, 2006, 02:11:09 pm: NEW SHIP FOR MY MOD!

yes. It's a cargo container.

funny thing is, the size is related to the size of my new freighter, which I had determined arbitrarily.

Yet it fits almost perfectly in the GTFr Poseidon:

Post by: Colonol Dekker on October 10, 2006, 07:00:32 am: With a retexture and a bit of fancy pof'ing we could have the ~~heart of gold with infinite-improbability drive...~~ I mean dropships from mechwarrior :D

Post by: Colonol Dekker on October 10, 2006, 07:36:39 am: Come on guys, remember years ago when we were but tadpoles in the HLP sea...... Making a textured ball was a real achievment. Admittedly it could be a bit more greebled.......... ;7

:(
Oh, come on guys, I've already made a couple of more advanced ships (http://www.geocities.com/turey_the_king_of_the_universe/r128ships.html)(I'll put up more pics in a bit). This is just something I needed for the mod and thought it might be funny to post it on HLP.

Besides, go look at the normal Terran cargo containers. They're just a BOX! My cargo container is complicated in comparison! CARGO CONTAINERS DON'T NEED TO BE COMPLEX! :mad: :hopping:

EDIT: And yes, I know my textures suck. Now, if anyone would like to do them for me.... :nod:

Post by: aldo_14 on October 10, 2006, 04:00:16 pm: Learn to texture yourself. Everyone who can, learned from scratch at some point - so why not try? :)

Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 10, 2006, 04:30:19 pm: Agreed. You should look at some of my really old stuff...They were sooooo horrible. But we all learn :)

Post by: Flipside on October 10, 2006, 05:43:17 pm: One trick is to work at a very large scale, 2048 x 2048 is a good size. Do you know about texture baking? And what graphics program do you use?

I see I'm going to have to write a 'Spaceship texturing' tutorial at some point.... ;)

Learn to texture yourself.

Or you could always steal the stock FS2 textures. <,< >,>

Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 10, 2006, 06:24:05 pm: LOL i've already been asked to do a texturing tutorial.. As soon as I'm feeling back up to par I'll get started. Who knows how long that'll take though.

I was thinking pinball, but that works, too...

Just use the baseball bats as flippers.

Glee! I must try it! :D

Now, somebody, make a large rectangular thing! Give it a really high mass, lateral thrusters, and with some creative tabling we've got Pong! :lol:

Hmmmm, can a big, bouncy object be made for FS2? :wakka:
