Ok, excuse me if there has been a post like this before, but the rookie modeler needs some attention....

Where do I get textures from? Do I have to download them? Is there a package with FL textures in it somewhere?

I tried making one on my own. it made the ship look like a camo WWII fighter.:lol:

Can anyone help?
Cheers:cool:

Use existing textures rather than your own. It helps to keep your ships within FL style and does less impact on performance due to re-use of existing textures rather than loading new ones per each ship model. Freelancer textures are small and will require effort with UV mapping to make ships look nice. There is a collection of vanilla ships in milkshape format with textures around, very useful to use as a reference.

Freelancer UTF editor can export data from material libraries and ship files.

otherwise, you can find a lot of texture on google by using the right keywords. For exemple, try "ship hull texture", or "engine texture", etc.

The vanilla ship pack as mentioned has both the textures and corresponding ships from FL. And I just so happen to have it hosted.

Vanilla Ship Pack.
