Re: Design issues (making a model)
OK, so the PCS2 Collada importer doesn't work with Wings. Can't say I'm surprised.

What other options are there?

 
Re: Design issues (making a model)
I'd recommend to export it via Blender. The process of going from Blender to POF is very well-documented.

Re: Design issues (making a model)
[17:20] <DarthGeek> Any way to scale a POF without losing subsystems etc?

Pl0x help, it's about 2/3 the size it should be :rolleyes:

Re: Design issues (making a model)
Nope, no way to lose the subsystems.
You can re-add them in PCS2 ezpz though.

Well, there are ways but such methods are rather likely to break more than fix, and I don't think Collada's export can be directly re-imported or something strange like that.

Reminds me the Uglies fighter pack from Blue Planet :P. Cool model, cool textures, cool suns, cool lightning, cool backgrounds. Nice work :yes:

The background is so damn pretty I didn't notice the ship.
Who uses forum signatures anymore?

Completely forgiven, that looks sexy - awesome ship and cool background.

Ship design is like something from X3, specifically the Teladi ships.

Really like it :)

Actually, someone else (Vasudan Admiral or Galemp?) deserves credit for the Uglies.

Shivan Hunter, are you using the new per pixel lighting shaders?

If you mean the ones The_E posted in IRC, I couldn't see normal maps on those at all, so I removed them.

Galemp made the originals, VA made high-poly versions.

It's an nvidia driver issue. Yes, you nvidia fanboys, the latest drivers cause the shaders to work but the normal maps to stop functioning with the new ppl shaders. :p
Though I believe it's been fixed.

Re: Design issues (making a model)
So what do people think of the model? Crappy? Awesome? One big mesh error?

I'll put the DL link in the first post as well.

It's awesome :D, ideal for pirate fighter. Effects are cool too, I'll use some of them in Shadow Genesis.

Re: [RELEASE] TF Ion (previously the Shivan Hunter learns to model thread :P)
It really would make a good pirate fighter. And I like the asteroids ^^ Model is definitely not a mesh error. It is ugly, but it only makes it look more 'hand-made'. But I dislike the backgound and part of the effects xP But the rest is definitely worth using. I wish I was more experienced so that I could give you some technical advise, because right now I have to leave you with 'I don't like it because I don't like it' kind of the opinion.
Oh guys, use that [ url ][ img ][ /img ][ /url ] :/

Re: [RELEASE] TF Ion (previously the Shivan Hunter learns to model thread :P)
This is a really nice model; quite a departure from the stereotypical Freespace ship, which is always nice to see. Definately agree that its blocky, simplistic look would best suit a pirate or rebel force, or maybe Pre-FS1 projects such as Wings or 158th could make use of it.

I look forward to seeing the other fighters; i reckon your going to have a nice looking series here :cool:

Re: [RELEASE] TF Ion (previously the Shivan Hunter learns to model thread :P)
I was wondering, since the pilot uses sensors to fly, if they get damaged or knocked out can you make the screen flicker or go black?
Did you hear that fellas? She says I have a Meritorious Unit.
