ok, I was just wondering because Truespace just seems so frustrating to me. As a matter of fact Im going to go experiment some now. I gave up on it two years ago but 2 years is a long time and I think I might be slightly more inclined to learn.

Although, it differs all throught the community. Some prefer an other 3D modelling programme, but for building up the hiearchy, TrueSpace is essential.

For my greatest frustration.

A modeller like you JUST can survive some minuies with TrueSpace to build up the Hiearchy. Does it mess up your models?

[StratComm]

Not necessarily (provided you merged overlapping verts in conversion from 3ds) but the free version does not natively support smoothgroups or complex mappings, and is a general pain to work with no matter how you cut it.

That Daimos is the reason most of my campaigns fleet with be made of corvettes....

[Bobboau]

well what if I do the same thing to an Orion or something, I actualy have parts of and ubberized Orion, Hecate, Dragon, and... something else I can't remember...

DUDE, THAT WOULD BE SO TIGHT! It would give me (and prolly everyone else) a whole new reason to play Freespace 2.

In my opinion, the Orion only needs texture sharpening.

The orion needs to be scrapped.

No, I can't, TS gives me erupting acnea when I launch it ( that's why it's been gone from my HD for... yeah, years ). I hate that hierarchy thing, that light gluing crap, everything. Tried many times, followed tutorials, could never get a single turret to work. Swore on my left small toe that I'd never touch TS again

[Taristin]

Hierarchy is A-1 Simple!

For the love of god, GIVE ME AN UBER-HECATE! I WILL LOVE YOU FOEVA!

Ignore the Truespace using Heretics. 3DS Max all the way. Much easier to use/understand the layout of.

[TopAce]

ARGH! I knew I would mispell 'Hierarchy!'

[KARMA]

I think the orion is the one that needs a rework above all others, I'd like to do an hecate too but I won't have time for a while. Oh and there's the colossus too.

TS hierachy is pretty simple, but you need to have either trueview or TS 5 or higher or it is a PITA. Turretts are another matter, I never got one too but in my case it is probably lack of willing since I never really tryed:p

We need to remake all the capships so newbies will have some eye candy in their first missions!

[karajorma]

The Deimos is enough for that Maybe the Hatshepsut too

[Black Wolf]

Don't forget the Myrm, and the high poly Herc.
