SEIV shipset to SEV shipset

[ForesterSOF]

I like the idea of the Eneron Shipset in SEIV and would like to put it in my SEV Empires.

The Race pic is there and I could make a flag set for it.

The problem is after that I am lost on what to do to make it SEV compliant. Is it doable without pulling my hair out.

And no I have not been able to talk to the Author so will put any credit I can find in a readme txt.

[ForesterSOF]

Flag and Race pics done.

Now the the unknown.

[ForesterSOF]

(Lowers head and shakes it) What did I get myself into.

You cannot use a SEIV shipset in SE5 unless you have source 3d models, and can convert them to the Direct3d .x format..

[ForesterSOF]

Yea; I figured that out the hard way.

I am trying to make one from scratch.

My problem is making a 3d rendering of the obj I create. The Mental Mill I DL says errorso looking for a free program to make a 3d rendering.

[ForesterSOF]

All set except for making the BMPs and JPGs of OBJ's.

My wive has PSPXII I wonder if this will be an all in one program for me.

Daz Studio is free, and you can import .objs into it and create renders from that. Thats what I use for my 3D renders (I'm not very good with 3D Max's renderer and I think Daz produces servicable results without the huge amound of CPU time.)

This is a render I did for a Freespace2 Mod i'm working on

It works really nicely if you take the time to learn the finer points of lighting.

that looks cool!

[zaracyn]

wow, that is cool! It almost looks like the Normandy from Mass Effect...

It'll be more interesting, if you create more detailized ships of default races.

Or an SE5 version of the SE4 Xiati
