Title: Hierarchy Help
Post by: Sushi on July 25, 2001, 03:33:00 pm

Well, I've got my model done and converted to POF, at least the LOD1 of it. But now I'm not sure how to build the hierarchy- what do I name what, and for what do I need to glue lights? Right now, according to 3dX, my hierarchy goes like this:

Actaeon,1
-Detail,1
-Thruster01
-Thruster02

That's been my best guess for how to set everything up.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) What do I need to change? And how do I change it? I'm using TS1, basically just for the COB conversion and the hierarchy. So how should I set up the hierarchy? And how do I do it once I get another LOD or two in there and some debris?

Any help would be appreciated.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

can't help you for that, sorry, but I think it's the good thread to ask Kazan to make a hierarchy maker prog so people that don't make their model in TS can get rid of it...

Bump?

One more question- Kazan's PCS won't let me use TS1, it simply won't convert the COB. Are there any converters that will accept TS1 format?

ReBump...

TS1 just isn't working for this. I can't even assign thruster01.ani as a texture because it has too many letters.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

Anyone want to help?
