Oolite Bulletins

Hello All, Sorry I have not answered in quite a while, but my studies are getting most of my attention. @Shipbuilder The Design is pretty much stuck were it was. It hasn't changed much. I have added a specular map that still needs a lot of work, the model grew about 300% to be even remotely hittable...

From the Wings3D captures I'd say that you probably should look into centering your model (if you haven't in the meantime). A non-centered model may look odd when pitching and rolling in-game. The model is centered on the cockpit's "eye" slot. It's the external view that I need to tweak a...

The model is in oolite, texture included. By mirroring the model wings3d messed up some faces which had no material a...

I wanted to try something simple: Building a new ship. Some time ago I was watching Battlestar Galactica and my senses went &qu...
