Searching for Models

[Lavo]

As you all may or may not know, I'm currently working on assembling the NR frigate fleet, and completing the NR cruiser lineup. However, I lack the models to do so As such I am are requesting, if anyone has them, to send me .3ds, .max, or the model format of your choice, as long as it's usable in 3ds max, plus textures if available, the following:

 

Ferret (I will put in the Ferret or Prowler; whichever I get first)

Prowler (I will put in the Ferret or Prowler; whichever I get first)

Defender carrier

Agave

Sacheen

Endurance (EJ did a beautiful version of this, I believe it might have been used in Warlords for HW2; if anyone can send me that regardless of the format it'd be much appreciated)

 

I'm also open to suggestions for what should be used for the NR's colony frigate. I guess the Hajen would work for this, but it looks rather ugly, to say the least.

Here's a little preview of what I'm working on right now, the Corona-class frigate, skins now displaying as intended. Kudos to Goafan for making the NM/DA skins and fixing up the main skin!

well shit I cant seem to find any of these models. Maybe I'll make a few in the future but as for now....:/

Shame. =/ In the meantime, I've found a nice looking (in comparison to Cracken's Dossier) model of the Sacheen/Hajen which I'll be putting in soon. Also put in a better picture of the Corona in the OP.

Quick question why is the Subjugator in the gallery section textured (beautifully I might add) but in game not?

And is that Corona ship at low detail?

I don't know, you'd have to ask EJ.

Nope, it's the highest detail I got. It's one of EJ's older models, so the skinning might not be as good.

Doho! I've gotten my hands on a .Big extractor, and I now have access to EJ's old HW2 models, namely the Agave, Endurance, Ferret, and (another) Sacheen. Now all I gotta do is convert these and the NR fleet will virtually be complete. Just need another frigate, preferably the Defender, to complete the NR's set. I believe there might be a Warrior in here, which would do the trick.

 

Edit: Would anyone here by any chance know how to convert from .ship (HW2's format) to something like .3ds or .max? Edit 2: Seems the Relic Dev Network comes with a bunch of Maya plugins, will get Maya and see if that does the trick (I really do love how Autodesk gives out free stuff to students).

Little update... Using the links on Warlords' downloads page, (can anyone confirm if this is the most recent version of Warlords?), I've been able to find and get access to a handful of models. These models and textures, in .obj and .dds respectfully, will need some work before I can rig them up, namely merging all the materials of the model into one (this has to be done due to Sins' engine) and fixing the UV map. Some could use a skinning or two, though that's a minor issue. Full list of models:

 

HW2's Warlords:

Y-Wing (needs re-skin)

Agave picket ship/Warrior

 

EaW Warlords:

K-Wing (turret material needs to be combined/merged with the main material)

Sacheen/Hajen (ingame)

Ferret (ingame)

Eta-2 (haven't converted this from ALO yet)

MC75 (will take the place of the MC60, haven't converted this from ALO yet)

VSD II (not sure if the model will work well, it seems a bit borked... Have HW2's VSD II though, not sure if that one's better admitadly)

Hey Lavo I looked into doing some of this stuff a while back but found it very difficult.

 

I know there are a few sites dotted about with various models on, not 100% sure they will be any good but worth taken a look at www.turbosquid.com for some ideas.

 

I also seemed to remember from when i was looking into it that EJ shared most of the models with various modding groups a while back, maybe worth trying to track a few of those down.
