StarShips sizes.

Post by WideBoy »

Doing a small starport model (a "starport" the empire would use in small outpostes around in the galaxie) but i need some star ship sizes to create the landing pad big enough.

(if anyone got a starship model exported from the game and could send it to me it would be awsome.)

Becouse i use Maya as my main modler Tool, I do not know how big the Starship is in meters or compared to the groundtroops, this is much more precise...want more reasons or did you say that just to be an ahole?

He said it in case you didn't know, and because knowing 2 grid units is the height of a unit shouldbe all you need to make anything.

If not for my recent warnings I would say more about people who reply as you did to those trying to give advice, but I think it'd be just as satisfying to let you make a leper out of yourself.

Exactly K :P If you hadn't noticed, Wideboy the sizes aren't similar. They are mroe or less natural sizes. And if you just make it natural size there shouldn't be a problem. And if you're thinking of "Oh no! Then it might not be able to turn or manouvre as good...!" Then just look in the .ODF* :wink:

"can't you just figure it out yourself...?" and the roling eyes it looked like he looked at me like I was a stupid moron. And AS i said, i didt know how big the Starships are.
My bunker and wall models i got the size by using the "2 grids are almost as high as a soldier" technic...this is the second time I get the feeling i stupid and useless around here.
Gues i dont fit in here, it was fun as loong as it lasted guys i am out of the SWBF moding world.

(going in to the millitary in 5weeks anyway.)

Well said, Mini' :) "Whining about a whiner don't make you better." - that's what I usually say when I'm playing with the other's from my class (sometimes they whine big time about the other's are whining - hillarious :roll: )

But Wideboy, if you hadn't noticed, there ARE no 'regular size' for a Star Ship. use wookiepedia to look at the size(s) and make it that size. if it looks big, wouldn't you think it's because the starshipi IS big...? :?

And you asked a question which was answered with common sence, so of course I replied so you had to use your common sence... :)
