Well I’m glad it’s of some use for you
……
I was told by someone that on my wormhole generator there’s a missing poly, he made a screenshot of it, however the model looks good on both my computers, anyone else experiencing this ?
-
I just checked it in ms3d & GLC player… no missing polys here m8…
The Swordfish though… has a slight problem with the noses top hull… its missing 2 main polys it looks… the ones under the headlights… just thought ye might wanna know… mind u i had problems downloading it… the file itself could have been corrupted somehow. these things happen.
I’ve got Drifting Ghosts version… (actualy guys… there are 2 existing .cmps for this craft) gonna turn this into something… else
-
Thx for checking it man. About the swordfish, i just downloaded it and checked the entire model, can’t find a missing poly anywhere. You should try downloading it again if you said u had troubles the first time.

1. Can you guys PLS gimme some names that I could use for my models ? Cause I’m running short on them quickly
I’d preffer something original, not “enterprise” lol 
2. Some of you may recognize this model. It is a remake of one of my oldest designs, it was previously called “Adder”. I got lots of positive feedback about this asteroid base however even after all this time I know of no person that managed to texture it lol, so I decided I’d edit the model a bit, add some pipes, containers and stuff and texture it …… well, here it is:

Hey Sol,
Just thought, how about modeling a Mass Relay? I’ll take care of textures on it if you feel like building one.

There’s no use for that one in the game man
Heh thx StarTrader 8-)

No use for a Mass Relay? I was going to replace Jumpgates with them. I can very easily set it up to operate that way and I’m working on animations as well so it will eventually be animated too. Additionally, I can attach the element zero reaction effect (or one very similar) to the center.
Already have it all planned out.

Gonna use a few of those names if ye don’t mind ST…
Mainly for Sols models though, as i like to make variantson the name topic… anyone know of a good text randomiser? i like putting things like CV-405 before the name… looks cool, but my brain can only go so far

Yay, you like the names then?
For random IDs - if you can use Excel, it’s easy - make 1VERTICAL list starting in cell A1 with the letter series and hyphen as you want them to show, e.g. AAA-, AAB-, AAC-, BAA-, BAB-, BAC-, CAA-, CAB-, CAC-, etc - vertically.
Then use the following randomise formula in cell C1 where you will get the random ID:
=CONCATENATE(INDEX($A:$A,RANDBETWEEN(1,COUNTA($A:$A)),1),RANDBETWEEN(101,500))
This will give you something like CAA-402
Press F9 to recalculate a new ID.
Not sure how you would do it in OOO Calc?

Because of work related issues I haven’t had the time to work on any projects since I released my latest model and this may continue for another week or so, just letting you guys know.
-
Well, good news, starting tomorrow I’ll get back to 3D
Meanwhile today I took the time to make some changes to my blog, more exactly I added :- 3 pages (terms of use * about me * contact), links are under the banner
- a “tweet this” button, still needs some reffining thou
- “google friend connect” thingy
- a thing showing “recent visitors” on a world map, cool
Anything else you think I should add/change to my blog to look better/cooler ?
Speaking of which, can anyone make me an original banner … pls ?

Just scrapped my latest version of the “Starport” …… this model is driving me crazy ! I can’t find a shape that I actually like enough to start detailing it
