Prepare to welcome three new shipmates

raymond6751 · 05-28-10, 05:11 AM

Now, if someone can work out how to make those guys vanish from the bunks when action stations is called. It bothers me when in combat to see those guys lounging around as if nothing were going on.

You are a magician matey...

@Aces

Don't know if this may be of use to you shipmate but it has tuts as well as a free open source 3d thingymajig programme, forgive me if you have already perused the site.

Aces,

Any luck with those new ship mates?

I don't know anything about 3d work, but I was wondering if it might be easier to model them as objects under blankets with just their head poking out? A blanketed body is pretty abstract.

That's a good idea.
Model them under a blanket to save polys then use those to do a bit better detail else where.
Like the heads.

Hi chaps,

I have textured 2 out of three and will have something to show you later. I like the blanket idea.

Cheers

Aces

Looking forward to seeing it, Aces!

FM's crew compartments are off-the-chart excellent, but do feel a little too empty. I think the sleeping crew members is a perfect way to give it a sense of more life without straining the FPS!
