Save ur files as VRML so you can post them in 3D on a website... Thats kinda how they're gonna look in game anyway. Either that or render them as QT VR files so we can spin them in 3D...

And for the 1/4+ of us who don't have QT or VRML support?

"And for the 1/4+ of us who don't have QT or VRML support?"

Most 3D apps will support VRML (version 1 at least) if not, the app ur using is probably crap anyway...

Do you mean rendering out a QT VR? Or actually seeing the movie in a browser? If its rendering out, look around on the net, you should be able to find camera objects for your 3D package which contain the proper camera points. Maybe not if ur Linux tho...

Maybe even look at using ViewPoint?

Can the craft model be by one person and the skin by another?

I mean viewing support. Yes blender supports export to VRML 1 and 2, althout qt is not there (and besides, qt viewing is nonpresent on linux anyhow...)

I am going to put my model on my website in VRML (for those that don't know... in order to view a website that was a VRML model you need a VRML plugin for your browser)

sorry but my file is too big for me to attach on my account

Feb 16, 2004 toshiro link
sheesh.
make it jpeg, reduce viewing quality and send it again.
if it has no color blends, save it as a gif (takes up even less space).
if you have photoshop, use the imageready thingy...

jpeg takes up less space...

If the picture document is LESS THAN 1MB use my hotmail please.

If the picture document is MORE THAN 1MB please use the alaska.net address.

Sorry for confusion. The alaska.net is my father's that I'm using without exact permission (he calls it a family address though so...) and I can get them from there. Thanks.

Damn this ship is hard. You'd never guess that docking bays were this big a bother. And don't get me started on the stupid particle system lasers...
Feb 16, 2004 zoid fuzor link
partical system lasers?
COOL i am SDF!

Modeling is done. My ship is teh evil. And comes to about 1k polys. Skinny enought to be put in game. Now the only problem is textureing it, which i suck at...
