Hey, does anyone have the above? Textured FS2 models in LW format? My trail license on Deep Exploration has expired so I can't convert them myself... any help would be great.

Thanks!

Ashrak been p1mpin LW again?

Anyway, I do. But I'm sort of... uhh... possessive about my surface properties I set for the ships

Someone else will prolly send you them anyway, I won't have time to atm(classes in a few minutes)

I haven't really ever been able to get the FS2 models into LW with the surfaces.

Thunder: ICQ or AIM me.

i have em too......now can someone tell me how the hell do i rotate turrets easily?

I've got a fair number of the FS2 models in Lightwave, but by no means all of them. I think I've got the Ares, Argo, Charybdis, Elysium, Hippocrates, Loki, Ma'at, Mentu, Orion, Ravana, Setekh, Typhon, and Ulysses. Others I could convert if necessary, normally I just do it when I want them.

cool odyssey could you upload them for us ?

Odyssey · **Reply #6 on:** November 04, 2003, 12:24:42 pm

Meh... Not if my connection has anything to do with it. But I'll try sometime.

Mik, I've added and sent you a message - everyone else, thanks! Let me know if you can get all of them (which would be great) done...

that would be great if you could share some with me

I'll see what I can find. Do you need the textures as well, or just the UVMapped models? (You can simply turn the PCX's into BMP's and put them in the same directory to see them)

I have about 90% of FS2 models converted into LW models. Plus the maps are edited and addapted to go with my glows. I assume you need them for rendering. Right?

Fineus · **Reply #13 on:** November 04, 2003, 12:54:43 pm

Yep, I've as much modelling skill as a slightly mouldy banana. But I'd like to see what LW can do and it'd be best to start with some models I know (and would be using more often than not).

the models are enough

Kamikaze · **Reply #15 on:** November 04, 2003, 06:08:34 pm

Sweet, I've been searching for LW freespace models for a while. If someone wants to send them to me (e-mail or IRC) I could probably stick them up for download somewhere.

DragonClaw · **Reply #16 on:** November 04, 2003, 06:16:32 pm

I don't have them all. My orion has good surfacing set up but I screwed up the turrets when I was rotating them in modeller(before i figured out an easier way)

I'll let someone with them all give them to you

Razor · **Reply #17 on:** November 05, 2003, 01:30:56 am

Can you post a few instructions on how to rotate them easely?

Oh and by the way Kalfireth...Lightwave is not that easy to learn. Well basics are OK (it should take you a couple of hours) but surface, map, enviroment, effects editing is not really a walk in the park. By the way...which renderer did you use before?

Well here's what I did so far. First you have to convert them into COB and then into LWM (or something like that)
By the way...why don't you use Deep Exploration. It is a good converter too.

I'm sure this isn't the easiest way, but at least it get's the job done.

Load the ship into Modeller. Select the turrets one at a time, and cut and paste them into their own layers. Save, and load up Layout. The turrets should show up as separate object layers. Now, parent all turrets to the ship itself. Almost there, only one little thing left to be done.

Select one of the turrets, and pick a tool called Move Pivot Point under the Items tab. Now, drag the Pivot Point to the center of the turret and repeat this on all turrets.

Heh, decided to get back into the swing of things, Kal?
