CaptainBenz Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Greetings, I've been wondering if you take fanmade models (by that I mean fan of the mod, of course), because a few ones of those in the mod, like the Broadside... well, lets just say there is room for improvement .I mean no offense to the modeller, but I tried my worst to make a prettier one, and this is what I got so far: http://i.imgur.com/Fx0uDOc.png http://i.imgur.com/pf5uho2.png I hope you don't mind that I was a bit creative with the details, since the only material for reference is the ship from EaW. So, how do you think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted July 23, 2013 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted July 23, 2013 Neat. If Lavo wants to include it, seems like a fine model. I guess we'd need to see how it renders in-game.

Lavo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I entirely agree that the current model could use a facelift or replacement. Have you got this model skinned? It would be my pleasure to slap it ingame and see how it looks. If not, keep us posted on your progress! What you got here looks quite promising. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.

CaptainBenz Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Oih positive feedback, thank you Well, it's not textured yet, and I just started uv mapping it. I posted such an early wip simply because I've made bad experience with posting fully completed stuff. People/devs sometimes suggest changes to the model, which are alot harder to make when it is fully uv-mapped and textured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Fair enough, that makes a good deal of sense. I'd suggest to possibly make the main bridge's window slightly larger. In comparison to the bridge itself, it looks somewhat small. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yep, that works great! Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBenz Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Just finished uv mapping, texturing may take some time though. btw If I ever finish this thing, then where can I upload it? Can I user your svn, or should I upload it to some filesharing site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Some filesharing site. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBenz Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Some texture progress, though it is still far from being finished. http://i.imgur.com/445rypk.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBenz Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 So I finally got to finish that Broadside cruiser. http://i.imgur.com/45SUlng.png fancy 3d view Now I just need to figure out how to import the old Broadside for scaling and adding the correct hardpoints.

Lavo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Very nice! I like it. Mind you, it could use a bit of color, perhaps team colors similar to EaW? As for hardpointing, assuming you can manage to "fit" the model (of course, can't be perfectly) onto the current one hardpointing wouldn't be an issue. That said, you can use the Sins Max tool for 3ds Max and older to import .mesh files. I hear that 2012 and later breaks the import tool however. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.

CaptainBenz Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Well, I'm completely new to soase modding, and I don't really know where to look up the hardpoints' names. My first guess was the ship's respective .entity file, but apparently its not there, or at least I can't find it. I don't have 3ds max, so importing the current model with the tool you mentioned isn't an option either. You do not happen to have a screenshot or something that shows the hardpoint layout and names of the current Broadside Cruiser, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 How's about you send me the model, in .obj if possible, instead? If you do, I can check this weekend to see if a major hardpointing job is needed. The hardpoint data can be found in the mesh file, if you are interested; though the orientation of points might be difficult to understand. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.

CaptainBenz Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Here you go:http://www.mediafire.com/download/8qvi8l6v21qtg3j/BroadasideCruiser.obj Sorry for the late reply. About the mesh file, I don't think I'm ever going to find the hardpoints in there, at least if I open it with a text editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Right; you're likely operating on the public version, which has the files in bin format. I can send the text version, though it's probably better if I check if I can fit this well. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Took a look at it; yeah it will have to be re-hardpointed from scratch. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Haven't heard from you in a little while CaptainBenz. How's everything going? I can get the Broadside ingame fairly quickly; just need the main/color and (if you have one) illumination textures. Sins of a Galactic Empire staff.
