One reason: Yawn fest. Seriously. There's no action. Or intensity. Or drama. They're like: We're gonna fly into the sun. Shucks. Now let's all look at what assholes some people are, and watch others mope around for a half hour. Oh look, no fly into sun! Hoo-ray. Now we do a BSG shot of the sh
As things stand now, i am pretty dissapointed about the SGU.... i do not mind more "serious" and dark atmosphere of the show, but until now the episodes were quite boring, predictable and uninispiring. 5 episodes and almost nothing happened, they just keep flying god knows where. Next episode is called "Water", just let me guess, what will be going on this time... I appreciate their ambition to change things and not to do "SG1 3.0", but after these 5 episodes i think they should proba

Wow guys you are building those models like on the assembly line [e digicons]:D[/e] i spent working on the vorchan almost week, but you are posting pics of new models everyday... anyway, awesome work!

@ Fuzzy Logic> Sorry if this was already suggested, i did not read whole thread, but if i were on your place, i would dump those 2 4890s and go with one 5870. It might be not faster than two cards in crossfire, but the difference is surely not big enough and i believe one 5870 is lot cheaper, not to mention far better power consumption.

Thank you all for words of praise, i´m really happy you like my work. So i almost ready with this, maybe i will do some more changes regarding UV mapping. Ingame the model works like charm, only weird thing is the lightning /glossiness. As you can see on the screenshots below the horizontal respectively vertical parts parts of the model are "lighter" then the remaining part of the model. I suppose it is because i didnt set the specular or lightning channel of the DATA texture ri

@ Thoumsin and TobiWahn: thanks for the answer One more question: What size should i use for the texture? Yesterday i started to work on something, and i chose 1024*1024 resolution. When i saved it as dds file with mip maps, it was changed to 2048*1024...should i rescale it to half size?
Sins Forums
@ Tobi Wahn: I am trying to create the texture, and i have found fine tutorial, which says: Data map : This is ARGB. Each channel controls a different effect. Altogether, they don't look like anything, but it's a convenient way to let the engine know what parts of the skin to apply post-processing to. The "channel" colors have nothing to do with red green or blue, they're just ways to separate each effect.<br

So i managed to import my model into game via Stannum´s 3dsmax importer tool and i think it works flawlessly...it needs proper texture, i used the Kol Battleships dafault one without setting any UV coordinates.
Sins Forums
@Fileosoft/Thoumsin So i did little research and now i am completely clear how it works...your way. In 3ds max it is called RENDER UVW TEMPLATE, i was unaware of this, because i do mostly architecture, so i never needed to create texture myself. For me the setup was assigning readymade texture to object and UV map coordinates. Your way is actually equally painful, the only difference it is done before, not after texturing. With the model complicated like this, Unwrapping it will be no
