That’s very, very cool. Suddenly I want to attempt EVE engines again. I made an old attempt after I added the EVE lights to the torpedo effects. I did not get too far though due to the complexity of doing it.

Been there, seen it, done it Â

A word of warning though, the ppl behind EVE protect thier copyrights, so expect to get hit with legal documents if you release a mod with thier models in it.

Altho its perfectly acceptable to draw inspiration from the EVE models to make ones “similar” to it

Bejaymac

make ones “similar” to it

MAKE being the important part here, built from scratch is fine, but using any part of thier mesh or texture can still cause you grief.

Wot, like a sphere or cylinder you mean?

Or maybe a single Face? Edge? Maybe a Vertex?

Surely IBM must have patented those before EVE existed…

Nuts, I forgot to patent the wheel last time I re-invented it!

Just kidding, its 05: something and uh… well, you know my typical response to this kind of warning…

G’night all.

Just a thought…

Is it OK to load in a model in a modelling proggie and make your own primitives and stretch them over the groups to get a similar shape, and then delete the original groups you imported?

Uhh… oh and make your own textures though, of course?

How about fishes? Fish-shaped ships? My idea! Ah drat, God already made them! Nuts.

Aha! Now I understand why the vanilla FL ships are so darned UGLY! They have to be, to be original, 'cos all the nice shaped ships anyone could possibly design already belong to someone!

Still grumbly.

Heheheh…

Glad my post is being taken with humour, as it was meant, don’t want anyone getting upset again!
