[REQ] A coastal freighter that might be easy?

Well, try and find Pack3D, I am using version 1 for all the files, except the jar, I am using 5Pack3D.jar which seems to have a clone option..though what it does, i'm not certain of yet

You may need a 3D modelling program too, 3Dmax, Maya, Wings etc

Problems are abound though, TMAPs are NOT exportable/re-importable using Pack3D at the moment...

There is good thread here:

Can't remember where I got Pack3D versions...

ah here it is.. diving ducks filefront page.. not sure if they contain all the necessary files though..

Man, that thread scares the hell out of me, lol.

That said, I did manage top open part of a jap ship in AC3D (a 3d program like 3DSM, only CHEAP, lol). I just need to figure out how to mess with stuff, then get it back in.

I didn't work on a "clone" I just copied a whole folder and messed with that.

oh yeah, its a steep learning curve, I'm still at the bottom of the curve, the experts are diving duck, the late privateer, UBOAT234, there are also some GWX peeps who never venture into SH4 forums, captain cox is learning it too...

There is one other guy who is working on an excellent looking tool but disappeared a few months ago... it looks real easy to use though..

the is very little ship modelling going on for SH4 at the moment. The texture mapping is a real problem for me... Can't figure out much... I cheated with that Akitsu rudder fix, that was just verticies and no changes to textures.

Looks pretty daunting, actually.

Shouldn't have left Sergbuto off that list of modelling experts should I...
