Models giveaway

I have an idea, something me and predator were talking about a while back, look at the first image

something along those lines lol

Whoever takes these models better do a decent job UV mapping and texturing them.

A crappy texture will make a good model look like crap.

Indeed, uvmapping is a must, now where’s the manual?

I think it’s in the Official Freelancer Modding Guide?

Oh ya, I forgot, that’s backorder since 2003

I have attempted to open these in 3ds Max 5.1 and gmax 1.2 and they are giving me an error
this one is while opening Gas Miner drone.max

Unknown class, no stand-in: superID = 0x9012, classID =(0x4b4b1005,0x0)

then it goes on to complain about missing dlls after a fresh install of 3ds max 5.1

Which version were these created with?

I have 3ds max 2010 and they def open in that without issues. Maybe try a newer version?

Take your time bud, not like i need it today

Dude 4.5k polys is perfect for a base. Nice job on that.

Haha SC, bloody marvelous. Looks superb, like Predator said, a happy gibbon. I was going to use a special ship for parked ships anyway but the base itself is excellent, well done and thx

I gotta say i’m not really into the “Hotel New California” design but I will give it a try these days. Meanwhile I’m gonna start working on a personal project, an idea that came to me when I converted these models. Gonna see if anything good is gonna come out of it.

youre own work is also importend
and i can wait;)

The poly count is without the ships
Also if needed the poly count could go lower if you remove the pipes, but I like them.

One has to seriously wonder …
HOW THE HELL I MISSED THIS!!! 8-)

Awesome, so glad you packed them all into one… as that would have been my request (lol). not a UV map expert though… Im better changing what is set out by the makers… but this would be a good time to start as any i suppose.

Thank you Immensely for your contribution to the community!

@ Pred… cant wait to dock “there” m8… U need some hired security to patrol the grounds m8… Just holla… MCP will gladly work for drinks… lol
