You can import a soldier mesh into your scene for size reference, the cheap but effective way to do it is by using the ZeroEditor feature to save as .obj file, then import that .obj file into your scene.

Unit = 1.98
ZE grid = 4.002

ok thanks, I'll try rescaling it

Alittle WIP, for KotOR mods.

Its one of those star maps Revan and Malak visited.
If only I knew how to make a hologram, I would make an open one.

Looks interesting, even though I've never played KotOR

Look at the commandpost .odfs. It looks fairly straightforward, assuming that the geometry icons use isn't substantially different in setup than any other geometry.

You can always just make a model of the hologram, make it semi-transparent and not give it a collision for the hologram part. Then you would be able to see and walk thru it, but it wouldnt move.

Yea, But I do not have the skill to make a skin of that magnatude, and complexity.

@Maveritchell You know I never thought Of makeing it a CP... I might make an open variant for this.

AT-OT

You don't necessarily need to make it a CP. I just posted that excerpt from the cp .odf because it incorporates a hologram into itself. You could probably paste similar code into any .odf and get it to have a hologram projection.

this is my first successful/completed model lol, it's a lamp post, but i don't know enough about XSI to get a poly-count or to make it look solid...


EDIT: its quite a bit off-scale but i haven't registered or whatever so i can't save it anyways

its polycount is 17

Ah, a masterpiece again, Ace'.
Keep it up!
I notice no one's ever made an MT-AT (hint-hint-nudge-nudge)..........

@foefighter30: to get scene info, press shift + s and then click on the stats tab (i think it's called stats). then click on "show scene info" and "show selection info"

to make it look solid, click on the part of the viewport which says wireframe, and you will be given a range of view options.

Heres the DL-18 I made for The Battlefront Project

most of it looks good, but I personally dislike the texture on the 'main' part of the gun, Syth..
Too distorted and looks pretty.... well - it's like the lines doesn't 'match' the borders

Okay...this isn't really textured...and I know there isn't much detail to it, but hey, I'm workin' on it.

that could be a bust of some important guy, or it could be a bronzium bust of

The Lost Twenty

If you made it larger and added some dents, scratches and a stone texture it'd make a pretty cool temple asset.

Larger? In game it would be about 10 meters wide by 22 meters high (30 feet by 66 feet)
