the model is almost ready, i still need to do the polymesh, lowrez and collision but first i must know:
should i make the cockpit shorter?
should i add the twin guns on the wings? (like in the first pic in redline's model)
any other suggestions?

i know it doesnt look that good as redline's version, but its my first model and im satisfyed with it, however im not satisfyed with the skin, it looks just kinda too unreal.

i think ill get xsi 6.5 soon, then ill import it to msh and will try to get it ingame and see if it will work

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Can you show a wireframe so we can see where the model can be optimized, if any ,for maximum performance?

6.5 will not work with Pandemic's msh exporter, use versions 4.x - 5.x

With my modding team the Swbf2 PsYcH0 Modders I've been creating piles of models which are OK but not to detailed. I've finally got the hang of UVing and stuff so I've managed to created 25 models in the last 4 days!

Lol no site! The cheese one was made by the psycho modders, the rest just using little bits of pictures from google image :). Redline you can have a few of my models once they exported lol and train same for you :P. Feels good to have actually made something people like for once!

EDIT: Btw Redline loving the Aldi model but you should have everything for 69p like on the advert!

you are right, thats why i never buy something in aldi

EDIT: here is my lambda shuttle with twin cannons (+wireframe)

the problem about the long cockpit was the camera, when i pressed the allmighty "reset" button everything was fine again
when i tried to add textures to the twin cannons the skin was screwed up, so i must make it again, but it will look just like in my previous post
still any suggestions?

btw, swbf2 mod tools isnt working for me, so i wont get another version of xsi and i wont be able to test it ingame, so when i finish it, ill upload it here
if you want to take it over or make a better skin, just post it here

You can optimize your model a little by deleting the divisions on the caps of the cylinders.

Your model looks fairly optimized already given that it's only 1656 tris, but you could make the lower main body from a single cylinder instead of 2 cylinders and a cube to optimize even more, as shown in this demo video: Cylinder_Extruded

This is about a two-year old model, and it's not the best, but I finally got around to texturing it. Maybe it'll show up in the KotOR era in a hunt mode or something? Who knows. And yes, I took a few creative liberties with the texture.
