i would say here my friend, where all great Armada Stuff is located but even this link won’t help you, SODs are protected and you would need the default mesh from cylon

here you got the Mesh ind 3DS (untextured

or here a lowpoly textured mesh on Warehoues3D

lovely ship btw

I think it’s not the SOD files, which are protected.
The Milkshape SOD importer is made to import stock models only afaik.
Others it just won’t load.

I think that’s verified by a list of stock files (name and size) in the msSODImporter.dll.

Besides i d suppose, the stock models are copyrighted.
So i m not really able to see the sens behind that specific restriction.
I d more expect a restriction against importing stock models.
;D

The only program I know that import SOD files is Ultimate Unwrap 3D

My best advice would be to get a hold of the original modeler… and ask real nice if they have the
original mesh in another easy to use/convert format ;D

I’ve found most modelers to be quite nice, and quite easy to get along with… happy hunting

My favourite ship!

I looked at the same model (http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Normandy_from_Mass_Effect;92502) to use.

Even anyone gets anywhere with this, please let me know.

Unfortunately the Armada2 version is a rather crappy model & texture (read the comments about it).

SOD files can be imported by Milkshape, you just need the right plugins

EDIT

My bad :-[ I forgot the importer only works on the SOD files you get with the game

The only model I have seen that is any good does not have textures. I’ve played with the Armada II one a bit and it is a waste of time.

The untextured one is in the public domain meshes for Bridge Commander

http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/SR1_Normandy;91273

If someone can texture this, it would be a popular ship.

If you put “Normandy SSV in Freelancer” into Google you will get one hit of someone showing screenshots of this in FL.

Maybe a contact to the poster of those pictures could help?

I just did - look at the 2nd entry!

Big Brother is already out there, watch what you say in future!!
