Not bad... not bad at all :)

The reason there's no textures per sey on the LW versions is because of the conversion and the old textures not exactly being the right ones. So it's up to the scene maker to re-texture as they see fit :)

It looks like you hqave a very old mesh. My meshes were done in Truespace, some were converted some not. Here is a link to many meshes that you can play with if you wish

Stevew February 18th, 2006 01:55 PM

There are meshes of many of the fleet ships and all the other's that The Hobb designed and that I created the meshes for. Some sre LW , 3D max but most are Truespace. People have successfully done the translation to LW. Please feel free to use anything you wish

Steve's models rock. I redesigned Pacifica around one of them and even decided to use it on my puter as the background image. :thumbsup:

Deadly February 18th, 2006 05:15 PM

Stevew,

Some very nice work on the link you provided. I do a fair bit of ship modding for X3 (and the older X2), and would like to play around with some of your work to see what might fit into the "X Universe".

Do I need to request specific permision on a mesh-by-mesh basis...or can I just browse through your collection :Nsmilie:

I always include full credit to the author, even if I just use the work for inspiration.

Stevew February 18th, 2006 05:20 PM

Deadly
I posted the link for anyone to use any meshe that they want to use.
Credit is nice but not required, I just love to see what people can do with the meshes. There are many to choose from so please use what ever you wish and as many as you want
:) :salute:
Steve

Deadly February 18th, 2006 05:37 PM

Many thanks...

Quite a few members of the X3 community are hard-core BSG fans, so I'm looking for inspiration. One "hot" request is getting a Base Star ported to X3...and your mesh looks like a promising place to start.

It will be awhile, since I typically like to add to and extend ships to take full advantage of the X3 engine and DDS textures...but I'll be sure to post some screenies once I get something in-game.

Stevew February 19th, 2006 05:40 AM

Love to see what you guys can do. What is X3?

Deadly February 19th, 2006 09:17 AM

X3 is the latest in a family of space sims. It boasts a very powerful graphics engine that allows fairly high poly counts, and uses shaders and DDS textures.

Here is a link to the thread for my mod...it has some in-game screen shots of the ships (I ported some ships from my X2 mods, and have not yet converted all the textures to use DDS). X3 DDRS Mod

ernie90125 February 19th, 2006 09:30 AM

Deadly....I viewed your screenshots through the link.....a very impressive idea and work. I'm not a gamer, but it will certainly be interesting to see BSG ships being intoduced to another community. :thumbsup:

When the BSG ships are imported.....can video/audio be captured and edited together as a fanfilm ? I hope you might accept this as a challenge ;)

There are already couple of people doing audio/video capture to make "fan-films" using the X3 engine.

One project that I know of (I did the custom ships for it) is combining the rather cool in-game X3 graphics with some station footage captured in/from the Quake engine (custom map, of course)...so I know it's possible.

Let me get a few more BSG ships into X3, and I'll see if I can talk some of the more "creative" types from the community to help out on a fan-film

Stevew February 19th, 2006 09:51 AM

Very interesting. Do you have to convert meshes or does it support some native formats?
