Okay, I finally got up the courage to try changing the 3d models, using the ones y'all posted in the downloads section (for I am clueless when it come to modelling). Let's just say, I was astounded.

 

I first tried things the long way, following Mask's tutorial. That was working, but then I used the converter program...and the peasants rejoiced. I started up a new game (which, incidentally, avoided the 'Hardwired Ship Slot' problem for some unknown reason) and waited to see how they'd look in-game. Pretty sweet, I have to tell you, although the Impstar model is in desperate need of some texture, along with the Vic, MC40 and the Golan III. Also, I haven't been able to get the MC90 model to work.

 

Still, the corvette, carrack, MC80, Sentinel, Lambda, Dauntless & Nebulon B are SCHWEET!!

 

Anyway, kudos to all involved. It's sure making me anxious to see the TC!

Thanks, but for most of them the credit to modelling goes to the people meantioned in the readme files.

As for the textures ... ... I'm working on that

Maybe I start to work in 3D ?!

 

-Mask ;....do you known something like MS Paint but for 3D ?!

 

any suggestions ?

Ah, now I see that avatar of yours

 

Umm, search in the forums for a thread, where I talked about a program called Gmax. I also gave a few basic examples on how to begin modelling there.
