Milkshape Ship Making, Experienced SHip Builders Please Look

Thu Nov 13, 2003 9:38 pm by Gafanden

Okay, I need a list EVERTHING that has to be done in milkshape 3D to make a successful ship. I want to know everything about making a ship except the coding of it outside of milkshape.

I don't want a tutorial for it, just a list of everything that need to be done in milkshape.

The reason that I want this information is because I am making a Maxscript for Gmax that will allow .cmp importing/exporting, and I need to know what milkshape does so Gmax can do the same thing.

Your real question should be how does the milkshape exporter work by the sounds of it.

I personally do not know.

A list, you know, point form, not anything too detailed. I just want a list of the things that need to be added to make a successful and working ship.

1. Model Ship
2. Texture ship using a TGA with material name the same as the file name
3. Add triangles to represent hardpoints for engines (hp/fixed/hp_engine01), thrusters (hp/fixed/hp_thruster01), mount (hp/fixed/hp_mount), tractor source point (hp/fixed/hp_tractor_source) and weapons (hp/fixed/hp_weapon01 or hp/revolute/hp_turret01).
4. Press the export button
