You chance will come soon. Here's a new pic with the final skins:
 
Also, I've shaved it down to 3139 polys from 7757. The only thing is that I authentically copied the size, so it's only 646 meters long (OK, so I was off by 5 meters). I hope to release it within a week.

Wow, sweet.    Is that triangulated or untriangulated?

*sigh* too bad it won't fit into Freespace.

[Grey Wolf]

It works in FS2.

[QXMX]

Ah, multiple subobjects

15 different subobjects for the main hull alone.

wow

[NeoHunter]

Is it possible to do the 15 subobjects then use a command or feature to merge the 15 subojects together to form one single object? This can be done in 3D Studio Max R3. It reduces the amoount of faces and polygons I think.

if your talking about booleans, don't even try. the model looks messed up in FS2.

Nebula by Matthew White, Babylon Project.

are you gonna use the thruster03.ani for the bussard ramscoops? just make them thrusters. it'll look cool.

Yes, that's it. Booleans. I use it most of the time to create grooves or merge subobjects together. Works for me though.

well it doesn't work for me, which means it might not look right in a bunch of other  people's copies of FS2. and even if it did, it would no longer be 15 sob-objects and therefore won't fit in FS2.

What 3D program are you using? TrueSpace?

Mainly TS1, but this model originally started as 3DS format, by someone else. I pretty much just kept most of the body from that and redid rest of the ship (nacelles, saucer, etc.) Oh yeah, I also did all the texturing.

TrueSpace 1? I think I have that program somewhere but since I don't know how to use it, I never installed it. I only have 3D Studio Max R3.

So, let's say I want to create a model for FreeSpace 2, what's the maximum number of polygons that my model can have? 10,000?

800 per sub-object.

[Grey Wolf]

Actually, now that I think of it, this came in MAX format. I have MAX R3 too, but I'm still learning to use it.
