Need some modeling help - Errant.Venture - 06-28-2013 HI! I've been working on a spatial concept, and while I know that the "official" model has already been chosen, I'm still doing it for the fun of it, and because I'm hoping eventually, maybe I'll be good enough to submit a ship, and have it accepted. Currently, I have the basic modeling down in sketchup. Despite this I can't get the texturing to appear how I want it, or, rather, how it would look in game. I also need help with engine modeling. I've seen / been researching current ship engines / ship engines in general, and I still have yet to create, or mimic something I like. If anyone can help me with either, that would be great. Here is what I have so far. I stopped working on most models and have only been focusing on 2. Here are the 3d Models: Spatial - SHF Base Spatial - Freighter Base Here are some 2d to show what I see in sketchup / texturing: Any help would be appreciated, I have skype / ts3 / vent if voice comms is your thing. Skype is same as my forum name. -Errant RE: Need some modeling help - Swallow - 06-28-2013 Scale up texture image, so then you can edit the position of it at each fave by right-click at face and selecting something like "edit texture position". I don't have my pc now, so manuals will be more useful. Also after finishing the promised models I am going to give up the Sketchup and work with Blender. I wish I start with it... Blender has more advantages, it is free and cross-platform, so it is essential to switch to it. Sketchup is good for Push and pull modelling and it has point-to-point accuracy, but still the main issue is a licence. I'd suggest you go tottaly hardcore and start learning Blender, because (as in my case) once you'll master the Sketchup, you will feel complications learning something else. That is why I suggest us to switch to Blender asap. RE: Need some modeling help - Errant.Venture - 06-28-2013 I got blender, but I'm currently trying to accustom myself to it...coming from point / click, to hot keys is my current bane lol. Thanks for the support Swallow
