What you're seeing is because of the curvature of the model and the fact that that part of the model is sunk in from the rest of the tube.

For one of my classes, for my final project, I choose to make sketchup models of my Prime Front maps. I wanted to see how I could change them for the next version, and also create early concepts of unmade maps. I made ten of them. Now, I'm going to try to recreate them in the Zero editer...which will be hard as (cokezero)...
Anyway, here they are:

What do you guys think of them?
Oh, there names from top to bottom:
Chozo Ruins: Ruined Valley
Brryo: Cliff Side Temple
Vespen Defense OutPost
Helios Prime: Federation Base
Magmoor Caverns: Ore Processer
Malakaar IX: Naval Base
Norion: Defense Base
Phendrana Drifts: Ice Valley
Phazon Mines: Mining Station
Elysia: Sky Town

Not a showcase of incredible talent, but I recently started modeling and this is my first decent piece of work. Just a small barrier made out of dirt and stones:

The texture is cropped out of a shipped Yavin texture ("yav_bldg_rubble", I think). It could use some more work to make the seams less noticeable, but as a whole I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I already posted these in the sketchup thread, but I'm posting it here because I can't convert them myself, though there were some people who'd like to use these.
I just wanted to see if there was any animo to convert these models to a bfII usable format. (I have already converted them to .obj with textures)

Import into XSI modtools, export to crosswalk .xsi, use mshex.

Okay, I now have .msh file that is 3kb big, what do I do with that since nothing is showing up in SWBFVIEWER, and I've got no other means to check it (zeroeditor doesn't work on my Vista, so I can't put it ingame)
