Amazingly enough Ancient Angel mailed me this afternoon and has provided me with long awaited REF models as promised (some may come later as well) cause I helped him with converted models from orginal robotech FS2 mod for thier SCF3 anime mod.

   I have now about 6 REF  ships (mostly cruisers) that you see when the next generation fleet sends in Mars group to invade Earth.  

  I also have a decent looking SDF-1

However these are in .obj format, as well as, .ms3d, and .mtl formats...

I will experiemnt with converting obj to ocb and tell you later what happens...

I am NOT a modler so I will need help later with fixing textures (some fo them are just covered blue or haphazrdly from the previous conversion process used to get them from .mod SFC format to a general one for my use.)

I will post some pics next week as I am extremely busy and will have little time for FS2 unfortunately during that timeframe

If anyone is free and feels the compelling need to get protoculture back into their blood (like any members of teh original RDF team) let me know and I'll list you as staff and send you the files of te models, plus the others I posted before...

L8tr!

Oh...the SDF-1....darn...I stll have it....I knew I forgot something...

[TrashMan]

Anybody want a SDF-1 TS scene?

[Star Dragon]

If I ever see you online is it ok for me to send you the SDF-1 .obj file I got just for you to take a look at? I really do like it but I can't use it right now... If you think it is salvageable, the other REF ships were made the same way.

[TrashMan]

Send it on my mail....

Who's SDF-1 is it?
I know there's mine, one 400poly big'one and..?

b.t.w. - my SDF-1 is split in parts (for the transformation)..
Can easily be put together...

[Baron MacDoblin]

I know a guy with something like 40 models from the first series, if that's any help to you ...

Well, a lot of time don't see this forum and the Robotech Mod still alive ^^!!!

[Unknown Target]

This isn't the Robotech mod. This is something else, correct, Dragon?

[Star Dragon]

My book marks keeps screwing up! I didn't ralize there were new posts or I would have anwsered sooner!!!! Apologies...

   Due to recent controversy I want to state right now that REF (Robotech II project) is alive and well (or at least I am). And that the models came from 4 sources so far.
   
   1.) the Original mod (with the team's blessing though I am STILL waiting to recieve the last files worked on by the team that incorperated the fully transformible veritechs (and any other tidbits)

   2.) One of the homeworlds mods (was a limited exchange between myself and one of the former team members).

   3.) The Star Fleet Command III Anime Mod Team (particularly Ancient Angel - The Modler). They recently did a model exchange with me and provided the REF ships I posted , god aren't they beautiful!!!! Plus he hinted that int eh future he may provide a SDF-3 or some more cap ships so I am VERY grateful to him and his team!

  4.) Another RDF Homeworld mod however this one is defunct adn I have to track down teh team unless it's member have been here (I've posted renders and pics for months and no cries of foul yet so I dunno where that situation will lead, but I fully intend to have full credits listed if this mod ever gets done (I'm thinking a year or two from now)...

     If anyone has any info I need or know of robotech related ships that can be donated or found please mail me at  [email protected]

   Sorry about my slow progress but I am NOT a modler, and have virtually no skills beside simple model conversion so I try my best! (especially for most of my "projects" I am a mod team of one...

[GT-Keravnos]

I SO MUCH want something to come out of this!!

I DO!!!

[Unknown Target]

Do you have the VF-1A that the RT team did?

[Star Dragon]

That included white, red, adn blue vf-1a's in fighter mode with engine glows, and the non-glow partial (guardian one time) transforming ones.

[neo_hermes]

Cool

[TrashMan]

I've sent you my version of the SDF-1...Perhaps you can use it...

It's still split into several parts, but I can union it if you want

[Star Dragon]

I got your GalX... nice! Yeah I need it in one piece I have no modling skills. In fact the only two programs I regularly use are 3dexploration for changing textures and TS for orienting models or glueing a light (the old famous "you forgot to group this model" error).. LOL

my best skill is my imagination.

[TrashMan]

K...
You want me to work on it a bit more before I union it?

EDIT: gammadraconis...no space

[AncientAngel]

Man I wish someone would of told me about this place sooner!

Anyways, I can fix those Texture issues my .obj formats where giving you. I did not know about the screw up until about a month ago from another mod'er that Milkshape throws like the last two textures  etc.. which causes some major issues. All of those issues can be corrected fairly quickly.

I can start posting the fixed version of the models fairly soon at this site: http://www.nightsoftware.com/ancientangel/

Actually that whole site can be redesigned to support this mod far as that goes. I am frankly geting tired of being a one man team. Well not that I had a team to begin with, I was just hoping for some help to step up to the plate.

If you check out the site I have been working on a new Alpha fighter and the Beta fighter is getting close to being ready which will leave the Legios combination to work on later on.

before this posting becomes a mile long I think I will leave.

AA I'd consider it an honor for a modler of your skill to even suggest joing the team. That would OFFICIALLY make 2 people heeh.. As for teh mod there are two projects running simultaneously. First to improve what has gone before in regards to teh first mod (robotech/macross episodes), and second the REF Robotech II (which rolls right into the next generation (mospedia) and the Invid invasion. So hopefully you won't be confused when you hear people tlaking about different mecha from diffferent time periods, heh, it's all good! If you wouldn't mind reducing pollies or fixing missing mesh conversions that I'm screwing up as a non-modler that would be great! I can convert thise "problem" meshes into .lwo or .3ds files if need be..


   Hey Trashman, I reread the postings and realised I missed something. I NEVER got the sdf you are talking about. Unless it was the uber one that was too big to use? How's that comming along?

I can fix all of the old ships, man I wish I knew my .Obj exporter was crapping out on me. What format do you need these models in? And I will get on it ASAP
