I only need to finish cokpit side sections and some hull deatails (BTW does anyone know some photoshop tricks to make hull(yellow and red part) looks less "cartoony"? While I was working on rear section of fighter I noticed that separatet section would be perfect for Fighter drone (something between Kites and Hawks and mass deployment). Anyway I think that tonight or tomorrow Fighter will be ready for hoding. http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=2gw6q36 http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=2j17xhz Edited by mrWHO on 13-02-2007 14:06

Posts: 485 Joined: September 02 2005	OK, job done. 1) Question to DrthVdr12: How to save my model to something useful for Hoding (CFHodTool for example) ?? I tried to export as .asc format, but when I opened it in other modeling program (Truespace) it load up model but not textures. 2) Question to anyone (propably Sun Tzu): Can I sent texture file (in photoshop format) to someone so it can be modified to HW2 team colours (hull, details and stripes are already on diffrend layers so it would be easy) ?? BTW I found nice place for badge: Edited by mrWHO on 13-02-2007 22:21

Export it as an OBJ. Thats the format that CFHOD uses. 2. On the tab next to layers in Photoshop, select alpha channels and disable the all the other channels. Create a new layer and color in black for team color for main color. Do the same for the Tex[2], which will be the strip color. On another note, I apologize for no pics of the Taiidan BB. Shes still there, but academics are keeping me. Not too much texturing to go, though....

EDIT: Crap, why I can't attach anything (including .jpg and .rar)? I'll upload it on filefront. EDIT2: OK, here: http://files.filefront.com/Heavy_Inte...einfo.html Edited by mrWHO on 15-02-2007 17:33

For those of you waiting for the Taiidan battleship, there has been absolutely no progress because I just didn't feel like working on it. Pretty much been stagnant in 3d modeling, though I did come up with this in the spur of the moment:

I know the Hiigs don't need any more toys, but its actually based off of a concept drawing and I couldn't resist. That brings a thought to my mind, though. I think what PDS needs is not so much more modelers and texturers as concept artists. Have good enough concepts, and people will make the ships.

You probably know more about that one, man. Unless I'm having one hell of a brain hemorrhage from recently turning 21, I don't think I was in charge of that one. Though Axel sends his regards about the continued development of the Deliverance II and that the team can use any of his turrets. Edited by Drthvdr12 on 01-05-2007 07:25
