I wondered how on earth you managed to get the name right off such a vague environment

No offense, but I didn't remember Kothlis being flat and angular :/

With perfect 90 degree angles? I'm gonna cry now...

Really, just use the Alt+move tool. Make terrain look like terrain. Also, remember how to scale it before converting. Scale to .025 the original size. Plus, make it the right size for a star destroyer, if you're gonna put one there.

EDIT: Finally read tiny text. Now I feel bad.

darn I forgot to get rid of that

EDIT2: ive dediced to "redo" the map on ZE insted of Sketchup look for it on the WIP topic soon
but ill post models i make for the map here
not that anyone cares about my map

Better looking than I thought.

I'll obviously have to take it apart to convert it.

OH MY GOD Eaol thats phenominal

I wish you would make some maps out of all these models Eaol Then we could really appreciate these models. Also, theres a large square of diferent sized water texture around the island, i'm guessing thats for a more high-rez texture for close up shots?

Wow thats amazing!

Wow! Good use of that blueprint I gave blueprints a try in Sketchup but i found them pretty confusing....

UPDATE: new pics udated ship

Here's a city I've been working on for the past three days.

And Eaol, those models look pretty nice, but I think they could use a bit more detail, and the textures are way too stretched imo. it means less tiling, but it doesn't look good when it's stretchd that much. By the way, where'd you get that green rock texture in your last pic?

Wow. That would look awesome with the right textures......only problem is, with the buildings, planning for ai wouldn't work on multiple stories

Only if the paths were to be directly above or below one another.

Its a stock yavin one.

I know, the main reason I added those is to make it look a bit more realistic and give you some good sniping spots in campaign.

Incredible. All I can say, Commander Fett.

The texture is the stock Yavin one. And about stretching, I want the effect to not be too high-poly, and I have not the skill (or maybe just patience) to make a good blend. I felt it looked polished enough to go as background objects.
...
Now that I think of it, there isn't any stretching of textures anywhere, except for the piece of land not visible from the ground.

What I mean by texture stretching is, the texture is applied so large on the model it becomes blurry. However, if making it a background model is your intention, a lowrez texture is fine.

guess it, win a cookie:

cant get it? well... try now: computers are photosourced, [large room] texture is custom.

i know this...
