I didn't post the general guidelines that the staff voting is supposed to follow, but they include the terms 'originality' and 'sheer coolness.'

So get out there and make something that kicks *** !

Hum...so it doesn't have to be a FreeSpace model...

Excelent.   The Avonsford just needs some fineal detailing...

First the GTF Donut. Now, an installation that is shaped like a hamburger. What's next?  

Yo! HLP Staff! Can I make the model out of more that one object? File size of the model is not a problem too?

Why should we care?  It's not going to be used in a game (or at least not intended for use in a game) so feel free, as limiting it to a single object is only a FS modelling constraint.  This contest is about creative and modelling talents.

Didn't you see my coment about 200,000 poly models being fine?

Well, provided your g/f is made in a 3D program complete with 3D thong and tank top and can be considered sci-fi, why not?

Maybe Setekh will consider.......hehehe.......

Can I use texture/skins/maps (what ever they're called) extraxted from FreeSpace 2 and use it on my model? Which means the entire model is pretty much original except the whatever-its-called?

Yes, having to make new skins would fall under the term 'cruel and unusual.'  (I swear I said that already)

That being said, there's nothing stopping you using a photo-editing proggy (PSP, Photo-Paint, etc) to alter the skins, such as lightening/darkening, changing colors, etc.

You did say that. When I asked  

I'm just using FS2 skins on mine now. It refuses to convert to pof, though...

I'm drawing most of the textures myself. But I also used some textures from X-Wing: Alliance.

We deliberately made it so you didn't have to make it into pof, as that bars a lot of people from making their models.

Yeah, I know. But I started this model for FS2, and then decided to use it for this contest  

I'd have an entry, but this damn trueSpace refuses to render anything

Tell you what - email the model to  [email protected]  and I'll see if I can render it for you.
