hey Lord Bandu,
if you want i can ask CCCRanger, and you can use this one

http://www.directupload.net/show/d/415/phkmG34S.jpg

he had problems to make textures, so the only thing you must do is:
make textures on this arc170 and send it back to ranger with textures and i think you can make what you want with this ARC-170

edit:

and this one:

Bandu, would be cool, if you can make textures on this models.

Dragonum: There is one problem with those two models: you don't see how many polygons they have. In order for SW:BF vehicles to work there have to be 2000 polys or less. So, try to find out how mnay poly's each one of them have

Bandu: Looks good, you actually don't need too much work as it will be in the sky, not an actual vehicle..... for now

i know that SWBF use 2000 polys or less and Ranger who made the models, knows it too.

so i think this models are under 2000 polys.

Looking good Bandu! One question, when you do make it flyable, how many positions will it have? Since officially it has three positions (Pilot, Bombadier {I think}, and rear gunner) will you be able to make it that way? Cause I really don't see how that could be done.....lol.

Wiht every passing day it seem your Invisible Attack map is going to look amazing.

<sigh> That's just bollocks. Where did you get this information ? Have you even tested this "2K poly limit" with a vehicle ?

I have. I spawned a version of this ARC170 model with over 9 and a half thousand polygons in it and flew it over a map.

The docs list guidelines for poly counts so that the shipped game would work on a wide variety of home PC systems. Modders don't have the same obligation... but would do well to bear these guidelines in mind to make for a better game experience. There's only so much memory and polygon-moving ability in an average PC, if you fill your map with very hi-poly objects the game is eventually going to choke.

CCCRanger is a very talented modeller and he knows the score. His ARC-170 model clocks in at under 1600 polygons, the jedi fighter is 1850.

I got this information from the documentation you and every other modeler i asked questions to (except Bandu and L5R) told me to look at: The Documentation, and of course you can strech it, you always can strech stuff. I just said what the documentation said.

I am actually shocked. Sat saying "Don't look at the Docs". and someone actually read them. Those pesky bodysnatchers must be at Sat's again. BACK YOU FOUL BEAST, BACK I SAY! DON'T MAKE ME USE THIS THERMOMETER!!!

Re: Shadowhawk - Lol !

Looks like I need a new macro for replies: "READ the docs, DON'T misquote them on the boards, and TEST before you post"
