Hey, I was wondering if anyone could simply post a pictures of a capital ship of theres in TrueSpace, with a picture of Trueview open. Make sure your capital ship has several LODS and debris also, I need to see an example picture to set me in the right path of adding LODs to my model.

Thanks. :)

 
Nevermind, I have the LODs all figured out now.

HOW????

Making LODs are something I've been tring to understand for ages.  How is it done?
...There ought to be something surreal about a Zoid offering romantic advice...and yet there is not. It seems perfectly normal that the Liger is giving Bit advice on relationships, and it shouldn't, but it does. Dangit man, you've confused me again.[/I]

I find making lods pretty easy but time consuming. All you need to do is make a simpler version of your ship, glue a light to it and call it Detail1.
 Repeat for LODs 2 and 3 with less polys each time (3 should be a shape with only 10-20 polys max)

As for the hierarchy check my FAQ's modding section for either IP Andrews or Bobboau's tutorials.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

My ship creation guide might not feature much useful, but it does feature exactly what you're asking for.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

 
If thats the one with the pictures of the babylon 5 models then yes, thats what I found on my journeys to help me sort it all out.

Check out my manual.  If you want to MAKE LODs, you must learn to use the welding tool and vertices manipulation.
