Freelancer 3d models and dimensions

[Nightfall]

Hello everyone!

No, I'm not back.:(
Good to see the 101st still kicking - fly for the Orange Dream pilots!:yahoo::cool::nyam::wacko:


Anyway, that's not why I'm here for. But this is:

Sabre Test render N
Sabre Test Render M

so, what I need from anyone who's willing to provide - the dimensions - from what I managed to figure out the Sabre's are W: 14.34m H:9.11m L:19.78m - and if someone goes through the trouble of extracting/converting the model of the Corsica Outer Sanctum to ms3d or 3ds (dimensions are a plus), I would appreciate it greatly.

Also, ms3d/3ds + dimensions + textures of other ingame stuff would be greatly appreciated and have my thanks (I already got the models and textures -I don't have any dimensions - for everything that was in Seth Karlo's FL pack - Thanks to Seth and everyone involved).

I would have done all the work myself but I don't have Milkshape nor the game anymore.

As payment... not much I can offer - only a custom render of desired ship(s) and/or a forum sig made by me.


Thanks in advance and please, for the love of Bob, don't spam this to death! :rtfm:;)



PS
Need models of guns too.

O.O

Can...Can I have one?

Oh, right, HAI!

Oh, yeah, that thing looks AWESOME.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

[sarcasm]Bump as it got buried by unimportant posts![/sarcasm]

Of course you can have one, I'll do even better - a transparent background SabreTestM.png. Show me what you do with it.:)

you cant really get true dimensions from most ships here, because there is no set scale. If there were, battleships would be roughly ten times as large as they are in-game.

True, that's why I asked the community here, I hoped someone would have an idea of sorts. I took a 1.83m high human 3d model and scaled the ship up a few tens of thousands times (~50k to be precise :lol:).

well if you use the size of the 'pilot' model in freelancer (the pilots that are visible inside fighter cockpits) you can get a rough idea of how big the ship is.

For capships, like I said... you probably need to scale them up quite a bit. I'd say, on average, a gunboat should be 2-3 times bigger than it is in-game, a cruiser/destroyer should be 5~ times larger, and a battlecruiser/battleship should be 10~ times larger.

Also remember the planets are incredibly small in comparison to the ships.

You confirmed my assumptions. Thanks for the feedback.

Back to the drawing board!

If anyone wants to join the fun, be creative and help with this, I can be found at http://bernardfokke.deviantart.com through a PM or even through a PM here. You can also post here, I got email notifications enabled for this thread and I'll see that.

*picks up the coat, enters the black Sabre, undocks and disappears into the Alpha jump hole, towards the Siniestre and the Unknown jumphole, from there toward the second star to the left and continues until the morning...*
