Sting like a bee (finally!)

For those who have read my previous posts, you'll notice that all i say is " I can't texture my ship "

Well I finally figured it out

It was all down to the texture mapper in Milkshape that I had never noticed, and after reading a Help file managed to get my textured to show in the game.

Window > Texture coordinate editor (CTRL + T)

There doesn't seem to be any mention of using this in these forums even in the tuts

Heres my furst wurking model (A little wierd )


It's soooo gratifying to finally have your very own ship to fly


this one is next

apart from the stinger it looks pretty cool. however, the stinger (no offense here, im just being completely honest) looks more like the ship is taking a poop (it just doesn't fit with the model, that's all). however, the rest of the model is great, as well as the other one. i like the skinning on the completed one as well.

What is the stinger good for? Mounting another ship in the heat of ... er ... battle?

Spectre

EDIT: In all seriousness, is it useful?

At least its an original design.

You know, that reminds me of two wasps I saw doing the nasty in my gutter outside my house. Big, big wasps. The one that was mounting/fighting the other had a red throbby back end. Insects have never disturbed me so much, before. Long story short: You get points for originality. With a decent skin it might.... no, what am I saying? That stinger is just awkward. Maybe if it didn't look SO much like a real stinger, and only vaguely incorporated design elements into it that suggested the name somehow fit the model. Say, for example, I'm making a ship, and I want this ship to be called the Flying Squirrel. I wouldn't make it look just like one, but rather, have it vaguely resemble it. You get what I'm saying? It's not my thing, but at least you're putting something out. I can't say that about myself.

The Stinga was just a 10 minute model in 3ds, doesnt look too bad in game though

did 2 more tonight too



&



Now I can get things working (some better than others the bottom ship allows 2 rear mounted guns to fully rotate (rear shooting missiles are useful) )

Now im going to start work on some detailed ships and decent textures.

Know anywhere that has any? although i can make em myself.

4am time for bed, my butt hurts from all this sitting
