oh, i know that limit, i thought you ment a file size limit for the pof.

[Kitsune]

Oh nooooooo...

I've seen a couple models that were  a couple hundred k in size cause of all the turrets and stuff on them.

A 3.5k filesize for a pof?

Would there be a point to making one that small?  Maybe if it was the last LOD.

But at any rate, now to get a protoss carrier...  Still have the unfinished model I had started.

[vadar_1]

A Protoss carrier would be cool, specially if you could fly inside of it and blow off peices (Episode 3 - Protoss campaign - end movie)

Heh, vadar, sorry to annoy you with those posts. I posted a reply with an explanation, but obviously it didn't show. Newayz, I made the head smaller and the ship a bit longer. I'd post the pic, but I didn't transfer the image yet. So I'll be back shortly with the pic.

no, probably not

unless you had a pof of a space man with a jet pack (who started that idea anyways?) with 0.5 hitpoints and a really tiny laser

[AqueousShadow]

haha, that would be hilarious to have the lil space man flyin around, almost completely off sensors. lolz, he would have the little beam cannon to destroy the universe, hahahaha :doh: newayz, here's the pix!

You know the drill, copy and paste.

Any new suggestions would be appreciated and if anyone has a recent tutorial on Truespace, it would be really helpful. I tried all the tutorials on FSwatch but they are for the earlier versions of truespace and the icons and such are very different. I have yet to find a Truespace 6 tutorial.

[Vasudan Admiral]

couldn't get the links working (tried clicking, copying shortcut, copying words and copying the link in the properties )

do you build your models in truespace??? and get em that good??? best i ever did in truespace was put a primitive in and streatch it

[AqueousShadow]

No, actually, I would rather hate Truespace than use it, lolz. I can barely get Truespace 6 to work what with all the different features and the outdated tutorials flying around in Vwatch. The program that I use is Blender. It's a very easy-to-use tool and very easy to learn. I didn't even finish Max Sterling's tutorial and I had already gotten the basics down and created my wraith. Again, I really need some Truespace help!

[Flipside]

If it weren't for the textures, a Borg Cube would fit into 3.5K Possibly with a bit of tiling, you could even get away with that! LOL

I'm going to go against the crowd here and say:

If you built it that way and you like it that way then don't change a thing. It's your ship afterall.

i know about blender, while i admit it is very easy to use i still want a more powerful modler

[AqueousShadow]

Yes, blender isn't the perfect tool to use, but it is a very exceptional tool for newbies like myself. I might stay with Blender though later on in my MODding "career" or I might select a more powerful program to better suit my needs, in any case, I'm gonna practice my moddeling and I just HAVE to find a way to learn Truespace...

Not really - It's Blizzards ship. He's said he's making a copy of it - it should really be accurate.

[AqueousShadow]

True, true, but I think that's as accurate as I can go for now. The only other thing I would need to do is change the shaft and make it hollow. And thanks for that little boost there, I'd like to think my ships are as good as I want them, but you can't get better unless you listen to constructive criticism So I like to take the suggestions that people have and put them into action.

links aren't working :\

[AqueousShadow]

Links don't work, gimme your e-mails and I'll send 'em to you. Stupid geocities.
