Ive just made a model, Ill say it one more time MODEL ONLY of the Trade Federation Battle Station. I still need to apply texture and resize it.

You guys should post pictures of your ships Don't be afraid...We don't bite Well...Harrier might...We're not too sure about him

heres a picture of the trade federation whatever-you-call-it, (parabolixes idea).

I have a problem with my model that when I put it in the game, theres no texture. It was black.

Here are some pics of the Argon Centaur Light Cruiser which I am converting to FL.
She's just barely ingame, I still need to tweak her scale and buff up the textures a bit as some of them aren't square and FL is having a coniption fit about it. Also I'm getting weirdness from photoshop, if anyone has any ideas why I'd be grateful. When I export tga's as DDS both tga's appear to have the same chromancy and I export them with the exact same settings but once they are in DDS format one will be lighter than the other. Additionally when I open a dds in PS it is lighter tahn it should be and when I save it it becomes lighter still, if I repeatedly edit a dds file it will become completely washed out. If anyone has any clue how to correct these issues I'd be eternally grateful.

Well anyway here are the pics, mostly I wanted to show off the awesome lightmapping on this model.

Nice ship korben, the textures look good though I'm not a big fan of orange, the only suggestions I'd make are to lower and pull the overhead intake back a bit, I believe it might look a little more aggressive if it were a bit behind the leading edge of the cockpit.

Other than that i have not suggestions, it looks excellent.

thx crymson, ill try that

Finally I finished one. It's based on a mosquito but it's ended up like a deformed fish. The body is transparent and you can see the cargo and the engine inside. It's hard to see but I included an engine reheater, exhaust dampening field, nano weaver, and a tractor beam inside. There's no visible cockpit. I need to work on that.

This is a WIP based on a Rheinland concept ship. Check out the gallery of Lancers Reactor.



It's supposed to be a very light fighter like the Starflier with only 3 guns. I'm a newbie so I started out with the Rheinland concept ships. It's easier for me to learn. I have to reskin and use the official Rheinland skin to save space.

edit:
3/22/06: It's like this: material_library = ships\rheinland\rh_playerships.mat

Anyway, the glass is transparent and you can see the pilot in the front view. Light fighter supposed to have only 1 engine. So this concept ship was scrapped off since the original designer drew in two engines. I can redesign it to have 1 engine only but I just leave it as it is for symmetry. I'll add in more small details but I doubt if anyone will notice them.

Bargib, the mod who uploaded those artworks, ask for it and here it is.

A few things have been seen before, but most of the sketches have never been published before. And I would like to challenge the Ship-builders to make some of those ships - I for one would love to fly in them!

edit:
3/26/06: updated with better pictures. I'm still working on the skin. Here're the old skins:

coolness - i like it

Hello all. Here is a screenshot of a model I constructed in GMAX. Let me know if you believe it to be worth skinning, and maybe working up a mod file.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, Finalday, but I can't figure out why it's not working.

Here's the shortcut. I can draw 3D models, but I draw vacuum at HTML!
