I should have known!

If there is anything else "low-speed" I can do to help just let me know

Hitman · 09-03-10, 02:52 PM

In any case, I guess that once this mod is finished, Lurker will be the first to be willing to add it to RSRD

tater · 09-03-10, 02:53 PM

Mwahhahahaahahhahaha!

I retexured her.

This started with the stock ship I think, so it wioll need a new AO map.

I also need to rescale and move some textures, but I think I grok it, it's just loads of work.

Hitman, knowing what parts to use, could you do it again with a new 3d model from JMM, or would that be a major PITA?

Before you do ANY others, let me get that stuff to you, then the AO will be easier on sergei.

Woot!

Now that I do know how to do.
Can generate one in 3ds Max.

The stern deck house should be a rectangle, not curved.

Sergei, I need to spend a while really doing the texture map. The pieces need to be moved and scaled onto the texture so the doors are the right size, etc. I can do it, it just takes a while (I'm slow). I can rebuild the masts so that the rigging is the right size, too.

Also, the two rectangle deck houses need to be flush with the edge of the hull.

You can see my crap texture there. Now I know what to do, I can fix it for sure.

You can see that the stern deckhouse has rounded, rear corners, but it's still a rectangle. And the two deck houses will replace the rail where they meet.

Nice work Guys!

If your useing 3D Max?
You might want to look into Texporter.
It's a handy and free plug-in for doing some nice UV work.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look.

Yeeeehawwwww

And all this work ... to end up putting her in the bottom! Ironic, isn't it?

It would be a major PITA, but if needed I can do it

Hopefully this means I do not need to redo the model!

Plans available do not always match, and photos (Which show the real thing) are also sometimes misleading. Lots of variants from the same hull, too

Send me Biyo Maru for starters, I have already a plan to do Ada Maru from it

and this time it might be much easier to remap, as I will probably only use Biyo.

Hitman · 09-03-10, 04:04 PM

BTW @virtualpender: If you can also search and provide plans and pictures of Ada Maru like you did with Aden, it would be most helpful

tater · 09-03-10, 04:16 PM

I started an Ada kitbash myself all in S3D

Will up for you tonight!

09-03-10, 04:21 PM

@Hitman,

The more 3D work you do?
The easier it gets!
And as you kit bash Units?
You'll end up with lots of handy parts laying around to speed things up.

Heck!
You can even take parts from SH5 Units now.

Hitman · 09-03-10, 04:24 PM

Yup, that's what I'm realizing right now

But SH5 I do not own, however stock SH3 and SH4 have plenty of stuff to do many new ships.

I have waited years for IABL's SH3 MFM to be completed, but I won't wait that much for a JMM for SH4, so I decided to start helping myself as soon as I saw this thread

Nisgeis · 09-03-10, 04:27 PM

Got any pics of an actual 2E?

Soon I'll have the code completed to rip the AO mapping from the SH5 files also.
I expect to see a flood of Units from SH5 ported to SH4 soon.
I believe the SOM Group has already started?
