I have a stable Gigas with no textures and no subobjects. When i tried to add them, the subobjects messed up and truespace change the textures to different ones!!!!
It had the right ones in TS, but had different ones when i converted it to POF, but all the files where correct.

I need help to get at least the 4 front turrets online as well as to retexture it.

I agree with that

If you edit the model in 3ds and add textures, it keep the texture maps so all u have to do is re-apply them... might help with your textures.
 With the sub-objects. I'm afraid I can't help you (I havn't got it right myself yet) but I have been told to look out for something called Trueview- a plug in for Truespace that allows you to see Hierarchy. Havn't found it yet, but two sets of eyes are better than one

I can make 3ds files but I can't edit them. I can only edit in Truespace and Blender.

Well, altering the UV in Blender would probably work as well... don't ask me how though, because I don't use blender.

Got a turret working. Now only the textures need doing.

Think what a destroyer is like to it then  

The first texture is now on. I should have it completed soon and ready for final testing!

The Gigas is now complete, except for subsystems, paths and engines.

I'm just surprised it worked. Took me five days non-stop but it worked.

Get the stats and latest news on it here:

The ship is now about 99% complete.

Maybe you should write down how you done it- what problems you came across and how you overcame them- then see if people like VolitionWatch will host it (they've got a few tutorials- this information would probably be welcome).

Step 1 - Resize Sathanas in Truespace 1 ending up with a 200km one!!!

Step 2 - Shrink it to the correct size

Step 3 - Make 2 cubes glue together to make a turret resize very small so it hard to find

Step 4 - Spend hours texturing, retexturing, and retexturing... etc

Step 5 - Convert to POF and add all the FSMM2 stuff.

Yeah I might document what I did and couldn't do. It'll be a while though. Got the SI Arachnas to do. Totally new model done by me   A modular design similar to Dark's Polaris. So far three modules are complete. It's a very basic design though. Basically made of cubes and cylinders.
