[TEC] Ship skinning... - Page 2

Do you know how to do such stuff?

I sure don't, but I'm more than willing to help anyone who does with pictures, research, etc.

I can get a few simple ship skins done to add some variation, but the complex stuff I was gonna have a crack at will be VERY difficult. Take Nagara. The hull is in like 6-7 sections in the O file (the only way to do dazzle paint is in the O file, IMO). The problems are, one, that the sections are all over the O file, so making a contiguous line in multiple sections is hard. Two, some adjacent sections are rightside up, some upside down, some mirrored, and some a combination of two of those. My head spins looking at it.

Sadly no I dont. Wish I did thought. I can remember years ago trying to do something like that in Starfleet Command and the textures were the same way. Made no sense to me at all. I used to say that was the best modding community around until I found this place. Surely someone here know how to do this and I offer my help as well if anyone wants to take up the task.

I don't need a medal, just some 12 hours lasting patience pills
