Discovery 4.86 Development: Looking for modellers, system updating status

[Linkus]

Not bad Zeela but it does seem a bit out of place compared to other station at the moment.

Maybe less actual curves and more straight edges?

EG, more pentagon than circle etc.


That said, it's pretty simple to get it ingame.
Get Milkshape.
Get the CMP Exporter, the SUR exporter and the MAT exporter for it (Use google)
Import the 3ds file into Milkshape.
Texture it. (You find the tga or dds image files for each texture/image that you want and rename the material in milkshape to be that. Make multiple groups and assign materials to them. Look at tutorials for a better idea.)
Hardpoint the model. (Tutorial again)
Export the CMP.
Export the SUR.
Export the MAT.

That should do everything that is needed for the model.

Test it ingame by say, replacing the cmp and sur file of a current station with it. (Try Newark station maybe).

Hunt down the bugs and eliminate them.

Ta-da. New station model done.


Now, if you want to properly have it as a seperate station model (and not replacing another) it requires a bit more work, which tutorials cover well enough.
