i did some reading and it seems that cad can export as a 3d studio file, so if anyone knows which ships have not been started then i can try my hand at one:) as for texturing well i've aquired photoshop but ive never textured before so that part might take a while, once i have a ship assigned to me the ill try to have it done in a couple days.....

do a dominion trooptransport, and a ent era dominion scout to get on with

ok ill start with the transport, ill do the frame work the send it to you so that we can see if it exports ok

Jig, you like giving people a very big challenge - this is his first texture

yeah, im got to do something for my 3D design class, so if you need something simple that you need done, im here. Also, it may take one or two weeks, so if you've got time, thats good too. Also, i cant color or texture yet. Im just a beginner, but im glad to help if you need it.

ive got 3Ds Max 7

@zahadoom, the .3ds format is the most common foramt so i see no prbs with exporting to 3ds from cad, if it won`t work i have polytrans so i can convert form cad to anything
@nemitor, choose any minor race ship from here bar the vulcans and the tamarians (i`ve done those)

just in case dafedz does not get back in time.

I was wondering where "Mr. Trekmania" had disappeared to

ill start working asap.

lol no kidding there is absolutly no data on dominio transports, so im making one up, its actually going quite well i think

ok how do i paste stuff into these threds?[/img]

ok use the img tag above here were you wrote, the njust copy the url in between them, or just type

here is what ive got done so far on the transport

[/img]

erm? what now have you uploaded the images? and why is there a load of stuff after .bmp?

yes i have its in my yahoo breifcase or did i screw up??? if you paste the url into your browser it will work anyway

looking good, but use image shack or similer for your pics, that took forever to load up

Just saw your model, its very nice. With some textures, it should make a nice addition to the game .

thanks for the compliment, once im done with the rest of the structure ill try my had at texturing, but im not sure how suited cad will be to this task.... may have to hald my baby off to someone else

ok lets try this one more time



----
Fixed ur image dude, from skeet..

That link works this time zahadoom! Good work!

Your links aren't working coz the site only supports certain file types - .bmp's don't work, I know this from experience.

You'll just have to make links instead - do the same thing as you were doing to load the picture, but click on the url button instead of the img button.

very nice. i cant work on mine from friday til sunday, but i should have it done a week from friday.

I'll post screens as soon as its kindof done.

just seen it and it looks good! well done!

not happy with it yet, im re working it

Ok heres a better one i think

And a few more views

got a real nice look to it ! You got some real talent there

Watch out Jig, you've got a userper there!

Evil_fluff is right, zahadoom - you have got a talent!

Looks like ur using somit like splines there, the poly count will be huge i think. Is there anyway you can tell what the poly count is there as there are limits to what is acceptable.

Btw nice ship so far.

see in cad its all object.....it different from other software. i guess the only way to tell will be when im done. Ill give the structure to jig and he will be able to tell when he imports it. Id actually like to send him what i have tomorow to see if its within the allowable limits. No, no splines see all the parts to the ship are first drawn in 2 d then extruded. then i use the fillet command for the rounded corners.

A couple more touch ups and ill hand it in for texturing as i do not have the software to do so.

compared to yours, mine looks like crap. Ive got to learn more fast. I've only got the main frame done right now. All extensively modified primitives. Got the simplist, straight lined ship I could find, a Tholain Crusier.
