Title: Need an SFC3 modder.......
Post by: Major A Payne on February 01, 2004, 05:17:30 pm: I've got a model which, if someone is willing I'd like to see a vessel of mine converted to SFC2/3.

Basically I don't have anywhere to post any images myself, but my models a 1155 poly remake of the one in this thread below:

Sci-Fi Meshes forum thread

I've got two different size texture sets (512*512 and 1024*1024) with it. My problem is I've got no SFC modding skill at all so anyone who's willing to do this the help would be appreciated.

You can e-mail it to interstellarmachine@hotmail.com and I will try to get to it in the next couple days. Send the model, textures and the length in meters that the ship should be.

Terra. I'd love to actually give this a go myself, but I have no idea where to even start. I've gotten the tutorial that was released so I might give it go before I do anythign else. One thing though is how is the scaling worked out for resizing the model??

Post by: atheorhaven on February 02, 2004, 09:42:15 am: Usually, I scale parts on the Armada mesh against pre-existing SFC models of a similar design. If there's nothing similar, then I look at the scale it was on TV or in movies (if it was) and try to get a similar scale. If not from there, then it's best guess. But usually the scale translates well for me, as it does for me when I convert over a .LWO if the LWO was originally scaled down from a default size.
