Proposed faction owner: Andolian
Also proposed texture/color styles of Andolian ships - Burnt orange, yellow, etc. I will submit the maps I used.
Anyway, 3dsmax seems to ahve a function to automatically render the specular map, diffuse, etc. however, bumpmaps, and glowmaps are not included.
And I don't know how to amke those.I still don't understand the wiki instructions on making ship models. It's too fragmented and arcane for a beginner like moi.
This model has a low face count (I made sue of that. I seem to have developed in the past few days, a facecountophobia. lol) so, LODs probably won't be needed, or if it will be, just downsizing the textures would probably suffice (Probably as in - "I don't have any clue", lol).
The Mobile Platform has 10 turret mounts. And by turret, I mean the large and small versions. This model is not supposed to be large (but as yet, I don't know how to ensure that my models are in the correct size, as I can't reconvert the current BXFM models.), as comparison, it would be about as large as four pacifiers placed end-to-end. It's mobile, in the sense that it can move very slowly to the defined defense perimeter of a station. It cannot however use SPEC, and therefore must be transported in large capships (i.e. it can be bought, if you have a large enough capship, a large enough amount of credits, and on chummy terms with the Andolian Protectorate).
And by the way, I also don't know how to define the position of the gun mounts. Anyway, it's pretty obvious looking at the model itself. two each on the circles on each of the four platforms (the wings, top-bottom, whichever way that is
, a total of 
; and two larger turrets on the cylindrical base sprouting from the top and bottom of the main hull itself.So help please....
that is if this model is acceptable, VS canon-wise.
But yeah I'm a prolific artist. Still, I wish qauntity could mean quality.
