Rendering Ships

[indy.miner1]

i do similar steps to makc here

but what ive had to do is convert all the material files to png and put them in 1 folder, ill explain.

i use milkshape to import the model from fl folders
i then export that as a "wavefront" obj
which creates 2 files, the object and the material details in a txt file like this

obj mat txt

i then replace all the .dds with .png and replace the texture locations to where i converted all the dds to png

new mat file

i use vue d'esprit to render as i dont know others, but it has a problem sometimes importing some models and it doesnt know what a .dds file is, hence the changeing the mat txt file

vue

vue d'esprit is superb i think

bung in a nebula backdrop, add 1 spot light bottom left face up at ship

click ultra quality render

1 quick rendered ship

quicky
