[REQ] I need much smaller flag model

I just edited the mass exporter script for 3D Max.
It now names the exported files to work with S3D.
I tested the output by importing with S3D.
Works great now.

I'll post up the objs ready to import.

If they are not quite sized right?
Let me know and I'll adjust them.

Thanks privateer. The model in S3D is definatly smaller! I'll let you know how it works out.

I'll let you be the judge.

Lookin' great!

Now if we could just attach a broom to the scope housing to show a clean sweep, it would make docking a fun thing to do.

I did export the Conning Tower as a reference for size.


Do you have any reference photos of the Flag mounted in RL?
The Scripts I have for Max allows a very quick adjustment to the obj files now.
So any re-scaleing is less then a 2 minute job.


Maybe a bit of Rope added so it actually looks attached?

I posted this one earlier in the thread. I can try and find more if you need.

(edit: Looking at it, it seems the flagpole on the conning tower model is shorter then it was in real life. Editing every conning tower to fix that is out of the question, so id say, just compromise on the size of the flag some how)

Awesome. Any job that can be done in less then 2 minutes are the best kind!

Thats an idea, but honestly, a flagpole would be more helpful beleive it or not. Ive noticed that the earlier war conning towers ive looked at thus far (gato) are lacking a flagpole entirely. I figure id just import it like any other piece of equipment, attach it via the eqp file like ive been doing, and position the flag node so it matches.

Flag Staff you can test out.
It covers the stock staff pretty well.

Here's the Staff with the flag embedded and ropes on the flag.

Can't get the 2nd D/L link to work.

I just D/L-ed twice from the link.

If it fails again for you, I'll U/L it somewhere else.
