Do you have to keep saying "poly mess". You are clearly just mocking me... No but really, in the last render, I can now see what it is supposed to look like, very nice. Keep up the good work.

Thanks .

And I wasn't mocking you, I was just using the same term you used, to make clear that I was still talking about the same point (and because I didn't take time to think of a new term for it... ) .

About keeping up the work: I'll try - but there still is RL, after all ...
As well as PC-issues which I somehow seem to happen to have frequently - just yesterday my online-PC slowed to a crawl at everything for no apparent reason. Right now it works again, but who knows...
(modeling I do on my offline-PC, so that's no imminent threat... But playing FS to keep me motivated for modding is something I'm doing on this PC, so motivation would certainly suffer, should it go down... )
Also, I'm trying to sort some stuff from FSMods for integration into my mod... that takes a bit of time, too.

And let's not forget that I also actually want to PLAY this game, huh?
(I haven't even completed InfR1 yet... )

Some updates on the Haunter:


The actual state as seen in tS :


some pics from the tech room with glow and shine (there the texture isn't quite as far as above in tS) :




I finally added some less basic thrusters (before it was just one thruster in the middle of that) :


I also started working on the lower side... before it was just a black plane (not much done to the texture yet, but added some polies and added an actual UV-mapping) :




And then an example why I don't like Blender - I originally created the model in Blender, and it always had clipping issues in-game. In order to add any polies (as I did for the bottom) , I needed to fix the model. Later I got it done via "coincident weld", which the newer tS versions thankfully have ; but this is was happened when I instead pressed "try to fix bad geometry" :

To be fair to Blender, though, it was a version from 2001 that caused this... I hope they got that fixed by now, but I'm not too eager to test it out...
