Creating ship models

bad idea?

I doubt it, unless GC2 ship makes can save the models in a format readable by the XSI mod tool. Then there is the issue of UV mapping and textures - I doubt GC2 can export all those in a readable, usable format, especially because in GC2 you are dealing with multiple 3D objects all of which have their own mapping and texturing (at least it looks that way to me) and SoaSE models use a single texture.

I will have to download GC2 and give it a play, it sounds interesting. 

Thank you,

/sigh

I want to make a sixth capital, but I can't do the modeling like some of these other guys.

I'm not that good at modelling either, but the old adage - Practice makes Perfect - does hold true for modelling, as well as doing tutorials from around the web...

practice man! PRACTICE!.... well im still a newbie of modelling but im practicing since im not just up to design ships but also Mobile Suits and Gundams... man its hard to make a humanoid robot

what software doI use?

 try xsi mod tool 6..... welll thanks to that software i can put gundams in SoaSE to life

wat do u use to make modles of ships / make ships ???

is XSI mod tool 6 fiarly straightforward to use or am I going to have to do a lot of research to figure it out?

thanks.

I made a ship but counldn't fighure out this uv thexture thing..... and now i got an udate for it, and my modal is just i frame i cant make it solid.

I use an app called Milkshape which I have found to be quite easy to get into, the devs and community are quite active and helpful too.
