Working on a model? Show it here!

Skies are .msh files, right? For the sky, couldn't you have someone with the full exporter apply render scroll to it, for realism, or does mshex work with Edit Flags?

No I haven't done anything with flags, I'm not even sure they go with the crosswalk either. But it's easy enough to hex a render scroll.

Wouldn't the whole sky just spin aronund then anyways If we want it more realistic, then we need some sort of cloud effect that moves in the sky.

You can choose the height of Skydome models, right? 'Cuz then you can just make a few different cloud models, raise them, and animate them in ZE. Also, in ZE, is it possible to make barriers that dissappear after a set amount of time, and come back after the same amount of time? I have a model of a crosswalk sign, so it might be useful.
Here it is: frames of model's animations 1-499:

frames 500-1000:

Please tell me it doesn't only need 24 frames.

Okay then how about a scrolling texture and no animation. Not sure how you made the holes for the walk/don't walk things.
But you could put a small grid mesh behind them and then the texture behind them could be as simple as stripes of:
Green Black
Black Red
Speed of scroll would determine how long the light was one. You could also duplicate the model and just invert the texture so you can have
the opposite light going the other way at an intersection.

There would be a transition time when they would both be on or scrolling past. But that is just a suggestion
Looks cool though.

The "holes" are really just some sphere's that sink back after oh-so-many frames.

This is the subway station. I found a really big train station (that was quite a mess) that I used as a template. I've almost completely redone everything. I'd say the model is like 85% mine. So yes, you could say I'm very proud



Obviously, the texturing needs to be varied up a bit. Is there a way to assign textures per poly (or selected polies)?

I still need to apply a terrain cutter also.

And I want the lip of the ramp to be exactly on the terrain. Does anyone know how the 'ground object' feature knows where exactly to place the object?

Looks good train.

As for how does it ground, by the dummyroot, so if you wanted the lip of the ramp at ground level you would shift everything down in XSI until the lip was at the dummyroot

It just needs the same y axis value though right?

Here's the new pic. I'm applying the textures but some of the polys make it look stretchy and I'm struggling with them. Also, do the textures make it look a little cluttered?



I've looked at funnyfarm.tv and turboquid, but I'm looking for some good generic metalish and concretish futuristic looking textures. Any suggestions.

the blue transparent, the top is an arena where turrets will fire remote Jedi for enclosed battle

I posted this in the Model Showcase thread as well, but:
Like I said, it's up to you as to what to use it for, Rep.

OK heres my model un textured. Its not that detailed or anything yet but im pretty please with it so far

Its got a inside with some stair and stuff btw.

EDIT:
There models done.
Its pretty basic but should look good.

Why not, in the middle of the city, put a giant Jawa statue? I has it, right here (outdatt...minute'd):

Now it's completed, has an interior that's just an empty room so far, I'll change that soon in an update of it (Small gift shop, little jawa toys, yay!) I use Edit Flags so his eyes will glow very intensely ingame, stairs to the top on the back.

No, not at all, it looks better that way.
If you talk to me on Xfire, I can get you a bunch of suitable textures.

Woah, looks really cool, is that your first building model?

LOL fluffy! Looks brilliant and for a massive 'map' (If you can still call it that) I think it be great to have that! Lol scale it up loads and put in centre of city and itd rock.

Honestly guys, this looks AMAZING.
I would try to help out but I'm a failure with SWBF2 modding.
I definitely don't have the patience for it.
I'm so jacked for this you guys have no idea.
I mean, I've said in the past that I'll prolly reinstall SWBF2 for a certain mod or something, but this, wow.
This is a definite reinstall.

Now in other news, I've finished applying textures to the model. The only problem is that the texture map is such a hell of a mess (since different clusters share edges and points). If you fix one thing, it messes another thing up. So everything looks all stretchy. Could someone help me out?

OMG! Train, that's too awesome!! Wow man! You can be proud of yourself!

Dang, my model crashes my test map. And, there's no model whatsoevur.

Thanks man!

@fluffy: if you're using reps meshex, make sure you follow his exporting rules. How big is your msh file?

Also, I made a tunnel based off of the dimensions of the station



Again, I'm having trouble with the texture map making it looks stretchy. Also, how do I turn the model inside out so the building faces inwards.
