Starfury (been using these in privateer remake)

Very impressive.

Nice I take! do you have a gmail account? All my files are on gmail. If no, pm me with your current mail adress.
Just a thing, last time I checked your uvmaps, it seems many space is wasted on your texture, what modeler do you use? As the ship is symetrical, you should cut it in the middle, texture the half remaing and mirror it (that's the trick I used for all, it add a few polygons but decrease drastically texture space. If you don't see what I mean, pm me.

so how do you tell the game to mirror? I use 3dmax, uvmapper, wings3d, and of course mesher.


edit: Oh yeah I suck a low poly count! those starfurys are at about 6k poly.
if i remember correctly (at work no modeler in front of me)

The game doesn't mirror. But you can do a Virtual Mirror in Wings3d, make and tex it, then "break" the virual mirror -- and you will end up with a symmetric mesh.

I finished my one, 2522 tris 1spec map and 1 texture 512*512 each

Nice. I see you addedd the guns. I left them off becuase I was planning on adding them in as mounts. When ever I figure out this F...ing jumpgate animation. ARG!

Well it depends. The problem of B5 universe is that each ship has only 1 type of gun which can be mounted, at least for the fighters.
