SQUINT! SQUINT!! SQUINT!!! :D

[Grey Wolf]

I think I'll try my hand at the A-wing next....

[CODEDOG ND]

TIE Fighter has been done by somebody.  Forgot who tho.

[Corsair]

That's really good Grey Wolf. Now screw Karma and let us download it!

[Grey Wolf]

OK, OK. I'll throw the TBL in....

[Grey Wolf]

There. http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/gtdwolf/x-wing.zip
It's not complete yet (the TBL entry still needs a bit more work)
It's designed to work with the Port.

Port=:thepimp:

Why isn't the R2 a submodel? Make it destroyable! Make it rotate!

And get someone to texture it!

But not bad for a from-scratch model.

[KARMA]

instead of starting a new model,.....just add all the lods to the xw first....

[Grey Wolf]

The reason the R2 isn't a subobject is the Evil Clipping Problems. If someone could fix that, I'll make it a subobject. Karma is working on the texs. Also, I'm figuring out how to do the LODs without starting them from scratch or having them look like crap.

this is not a problem...
i mean..at the lod1 distances it is impossible to see all the details of a model and you don't need to, since you see lod1 while flying and playing..it will be just an object to fly against/with..no more no less...just make it good enough but not too much:), a good rule is to make it with about 50% of the lod0 polys and the successive lods again 50% of the polys of the precedent lod, with the last lod not more than, uh about 15 polys

[Grey Wolf]

I got it down to ~470 by trimming down on the base model and the guns. I'm planning on about 450 polys for the LOD1, and you've already seen the 799 polys for LOD0.

I found one for FS1 by Darth Maul, but I can't get it to work with FS2.  Is there a difference in the POF files between FS1 and 2, and if so, what can I do to make it compatible?

Models are different. You could try opening it in ModelView32's editor and saving it as a FS2 pof. The table file may need changes too.

i've already done a tie fighter http://members.fortunecity.com/aranbanjo

greywolf, i will probably cut the "hole" in the sensor system.... mainly because i don't like the way it appears and more important to have a better texture result (i will make it by textures)

[CmdKewin]

keep up the good work.  and keep me informed too

[Killfrenzy]

Hehe - for a challenge, try your hand at the TIE Defender! :D:D

[KARMA]

already done too

Thanks, that did it.  I'm looking forward to this completed model by Grey Wolf, and KARMA's stuff, too!

Okay, trimming it down now. I'll throw up the new POF in a few minutes.

EDIT: BTW, do you mind if I don't throw the UV mapping on? It'll save time.
