Models giveaway

Very nice Sol. Is there a download link to this model? Reason i ask is when i click on the link here, it takes me to your page, then i get the option to download all your models only. I only want this one for now lol. There isn’t an option to just download one model

There is gibbon, click the download all models and on the next page that loads they are all listed and you can download the ones you want

Not……obvious…enough… lol. Cheers

i would have added a few more different textures

but i love the idea, it’s awesome. And the model itself is cool too. Great job.

Well, a bell in space…with fl physics it should be possible to hear it though…
But a roof on a space church…

It was a Church of the…

… New Millennia!!..

… (mis)led by the infamous scoundrel, the most irreverent, the most scoundrelous, the most ignominious, the most infamous, “Reverend” Joshua Ringabellus Dong del Dongos de las NuevasEglisias de la Mancha de la Republica de los Nuevos Millennios, known as “Ringer” for short, well known in almost every shady Cardamom joint in NY and wanted in every civilised colony system short of the Rim Worlds for misappropriation of unwary citizens’ wealth, illegal donation-solicitation, false promises of a “life-hereafter” for those who donate the mostest, bigamy in the extreme with more than 350 registered widows (and who knows how many more unregistered), misuse of Public Funds, other shady dealings, and misappropriation of municipality parking spaces well up in the Notoriety Scale.

… And Jesus wept.

!!
;D

Wow ……1500hrs+ of work?

Your models are so Uber its not even awesome…its as the gopher says “its more than awesome…its…MAWSOME!”

how or where you bring the textures? get the texture for puddeljumperbay not out

The texture looks terrible. how would you do that

Wow, SolCommand, your models are beautiful!!!

If it’s really okay, i’ll use a bunch in the mod I’m working one. I plan to create at least three new Houses, so I need police and navy ships. And the coolness of your stations defies description!

Btw - I have been out of this for quite a while, but I notice there aren’t any .sur files in the .3ds archive… Is it possible nowadays to create .sur files from .3ds and .cmp files?

I realize that’s a rather n00b question, but at the time I remember the expertise modders were on a quest to decode the. sur files to be able to create new ones. I remember that anton created a tool to modify the sizes of existing .sur files, but that’s about it.

So, how do y’all get the collision data for SolCommand’s (truly stunning!) models?

Resizing existing .sur’s mainly, using the FLMT from anton…

Lancer S is currently working on the mother of all sur proggys… but untill its finished its either a resize… or hours (per ship) in ms3d building a half working .sur… (see various “my sur don’t work” threads).

all in all… its still a pain in the a$$ 8-)

I see… So, when implementing a model (say, newmodel.3ds) from SolCommand’s archive, I should look for a stock model that resembles closest the outline of the custom model, resize it (if necesssary) with Anton’s tool and rename it to newmodel.sur. Right?

That’s easily said, but prolly a lot less easy to actually do!

yep… just rename it 1st, to save confusion, Its not the “best” way… but its darn hell the quickest & in most mods barley noticeable as the games normally moving faster… even in vanilla unless its a big ship with lots of blank spaces.

“FLModelTool10ab6” is the one you want for this task

I just installed it The installer happened to be in my archive. a good thing I always kept stuff.

For now I gotta dig up some old star sytem files and redo them. The models come after that.

EDIT <offtopic>I actually might give it a try: I need a huge towerlike construction, and I used to create it with building prison archetypes on top of each other. (4 prisons made an octagon, and one octagon was one floor. That rendered a rather laggy star system - if the base was in sight, not if it were not.) But it might be easier to use a space_habitat thing enlarged 25 times (and, of course, retexture it). So that’s a nice way to practice both the clone and model tools.</offtopic>

did it!! :pint:

So what’s wrong with using Lancers sur builder as it currently is. version 2 to be exact? Builds better surs than using any of the original ones
