[WIP] SH5 Bogue-class escort carrier for SH3

Did it really crash? It sometimes takes up to 10 minutes to complete the seperation process.

I get the same result in a few seconds ...

I think that procedure is faster and more accurate than flipping subobjects individually and then re-adjusting their position.

I choose object selection, and I select all sub-objects.

I choose vertices selection. I re-scaled to -100 %.

I choose object selection, and I invert each sub-object one by one !

Too complicated guys. As I said before: select any number of objects and flip them clicking with the righ mouse button on the "X" menu item. By doing so, all the objects will be flipped using the global X axis as center of symmetry, and they will be in their correct place withot need of further tweaks

Which version of Wings are you running?

From that I deduce that only SH5 models are flipped, thanks. So far I thought that that was common to the whole SH series, starting from SHIII

of course, it is the same model, deriving from SH5. You likely use the conversion by kovall, which has the AO map included. That's the difference. And you do not need to care for flipping along the X axis; kovall did.

Bogue's models from SH3, SH4 and SH5 are really similar, i've searched online images of all editions, i think (from camo design, funnels, border-deck details and side stairs) that my model is a SH4 conversion with AO map, while Kendras' one is from SH5 =)


Here's a pic of SH4 Bogue:


And SH5 Bogue:


Btw, i can really be wrong.

Best regards,

I like to put it different -- SH5 is the only of the series with 3D model imported without flipping. That's why it is neseccary to flip them before importing into SH3/4 files

I totally forgot about the right mouse button clicking ... which is actually a nice feature in Wings3D ...

Absolutely correct.

Tested and approved !
