Title: mesh in need of help
Post by: Starforce2 on August 26, 2005, 02:22:51 am: http://www.universeatwar.org/domwarsbc/StarforceProductions/camel.rar
Currently in 3ds formatt. The minute I try and rotate the mesh it vanishes. I was able to port it to mod format but I'm told there are alot of mesh errors. I have light and spec maps for the ship but didn't include them. The ship was amde by dante around 3 years ago around the time BC was first released. He gave it to me before he vanished and It was filed away and forgotten. I doubt he'd have a prob ending up in SFC so I figured if someone can fix it both communities can make use of it finally.

Wow, that one looks pretty cool! (incedentally, this is my 500th post :dance: )
Title: Re: mesh in need of help
Post by: Starforce2 on September 15, 2005, 01:22:38 am: yea the gafy version of the spades already went to BC and was well liked. Also, I played with a couple different shades for the phasers including black and dsicovered that stocka dn black didn't look good so I went with a darker grey. Also the map is warped on 2 of the banks so an actual textured pattern on the phaserrails is out, but I can live with that seeing as how the ship was nearly deleted after 3 years sitting here doing nothing. Also MP I'm on msn now if u want to recieve the textres and spec.
