Mesh Masters?

[athomic1]

After reading about the source meshes in the SVN's "masters" module, I went to check it out last night, but only found a few of the ships represented. What, no LLAMA??? Yes, I see the directory is there, with some PNGs in it, but... where's the mesh???

I suppose ships that are 'frozen', of finalized, or whatever, don't need further editing, so might be left out of the list. Still, it would be nice to be able to study those, too. Are they available somewhere else?

I did check for formats besides Blender, and it does look like there's at least a few others represented (even a LightWave object in there, looks like!), so there's at least a few more to play with than I thought. It also occured to me that some of the vessels just haven't been meshed yet, and just need some kind soul to step up to the CAD station. Can anyone verify this?

Even so, there's still no Llama mesh, so my question stands: Is there anywhere I can find the missing ones?

The masters repo is rather new, only newer ships have their meshes in masters.

I see. Are the older ships' meshes available elsewhere, then?

I think only in SVN, in bfxm form.

There was a decision taken sometime ago to slowly replace them with more technologically up to date versions (perhaps keeping the old versions as LODs) and only then would they be uploaded to masters.

The mesh tool already can convert between bfxm and obj and other formats compatible with various 3D modelling suites, so there's really no need to upload them to masters.
