Models giveaway

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

Nice!
Thanks Sol, I was (or planning to) using that gun, so this will be a cool addition!

Solcommand good ship for smuggler-mercenary ))

Nice work Sol, I needed some ships for miscellaneous pirates and these will fit the bill nicely

In case anyone’s interested in using this ship, I forgot to mention that all the variations use the same texture file so I that’s a plus for using it in the game.

First of all - very nice looking models!
Second (sorry for off-topic), I must ask why my ships cant load textures from one .mat file outside directory where the cmp and sur files r?
I need to make duplicates with same name and place them in same directory.
The vanilla Eagle, Falcon, and rest civilian ships use one mat file.
Hard CMP loads textures and game loads textures.
My custom ships in Hard CMP log says it found its textures in file but they dont show!
Game also dont load textures even in Shiparch.ini I set correct path to file.
To not rise the mod size with mats I use:

 <data file="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ-F\3MAJ-F.mat" method="copyfile" sourcefile="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ.mat" scanfile="false"></data> 
 <data file="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ-HF\3MAJ-HF.mat" method="copyfile" sourcefile="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ.mat" scanfile="false"></data> 
 <data file="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ-VHF\3MAJ-VHF.mat" method="copyfile" sourcefile="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ.mat" scanfile="false"></data> 
 <data file="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ-BS\3MAJ-BS.mat" method="copyfile" sourcefile="data\ships\3MAJ\3MAJ.mat" scanfile="false"></data> 
```This also fails to load in game!
Strange!
Why?

EDIT* changed only on client side and it works now. Also in HARD CMP loads corectly. Hmmmm….

No. Not me man I’ve noticed that this art of 17 yo guy oO
Absolytely crazy art but i have not found any credits about you in his devianart page

Got both of them downloaded, I should have the miner model in-game later today (converted fine btw) and will make use of the acceleration gate to do inter-system jumps (similar to trade lanes). Thanks again Sol, great looking models!
