Re: Newcomer needs help with ship design

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...

Re: Newcomer needs help with ship design

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...

Re: Newcomer needs help with ship design

First off: both smooth=true and Obj2DatTexNorm.py worked great - I am under the impression that the later did even respect my hard edges. The smooth option is documented in the wiki.

Re: Newcomer needs help with ship design

You guys are fast - immensly-super-witchfuel-injecting-fast... thanks. maik, thanks for the welcoming. I like this side of Riedquat :) Ironfist: I already tried reloading the OXPs with no avail.

Newcomer needs help with ship design

Greetings fellow Commanders, I started playing oolite back in 2006 and loved it ever since. I always tweaked some OXP's to my liking, but I never actually build one myself. I wanted to try something simple: Building a new ship. Some time ago I was watching Battlestar Galactica and my senses went &qu...
