Models giveaway

All models are in OBJ format and very low poly. I agree it’s the textures that make these models look as good as they are. Seeing as the models are his and not mine, i’d suggest a visit to the forum where he’s to be found.

Oolite BB: http://aegidian.org/bb/index.php?sid=17a122e4619016c62232e7ac61acc796

These models are for an ELITE clone called Oolite which is a remake of the old classic but fully modable. You’ll have to register but then you can send him a pm. Same nonsense i went through tbh, but it pays off as Griff is a very nice fella and i’m sure he’ll say yes.

That is hell of a low poly…155? OMG

impressive!

Nice one, that will make a really good raw materials facility in GE.

Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to do a working sur for the Junker trade lane model by SolCommand? I don’t just mean some weak arsed sur or cheating using phantom physics, but a proper figure hugging one?

I did .

Glad i’m not the only one then. I made one using the OBJ converter but first few attempts and hardcmp kept crashing. Only way i managed it was to cut a few things off the tradelane. I’ll try with the complete model again, maybe it was something i screwed up

You must weld some polygons because now i think you obtain only some parts of the model .
I remember i used convex tool of milkshape to reduce some parts that didn`t wanted to work properly.

Hey forsaken, long time no see, same with you Solcommand!

Nice to see you are still modelling!

Looking good, I’ve put Kece and Kono in the game already. The building will make for another fine addition for one of the planet surfaces.

Good work Sol!

Man, i’m so impressed i just registered in to bother you a little with a weird petition…

Can you make me… a planet?

See, i want to make a planet bigger enough so it can take all the space playable in a regular Freelancer system (like 150 - 200k radius or 300k diameter). Of course the difficult side of this is not only the polygon count, but the TEXTURE.

Whatever, help me if you want and while you can. Sorry for mispellings, my english is a joke. See ya and thanks for sharing your hard work with the community!

Here’s three great threads on making custom planets. There are plenty of very large planet textures available out on the web. Here’s a site I’ve used before to get textures that I then customise.

Alternatively just do an image search on google for “planet textures” and select size above 4MP.

Hope this helps - if you have any further problems or questions about planet texturing I suggest eiter continue one of the older threads or start a new one.

Cheers,

For textures that you can make (I have to make alot of these for my engine), all you have to do is make a sphere to put it on.

Filter Forge, Texture Maker and Genetica

Yeah, but that’s the point, i’m not only asking for a sphere, but instead a sphere with 300K diameter and mountains & valleys done over the 3d model.
Anyway, thanks for your help! I’ll stay tuned
