you have a point....two versions maybe?

they won't actually be climbable, they are only there so people don't say "how would you get to the top bunks?"

I do believe I've explained that enough already.

Will they be in a touchable gameplay area? If so, then it will be VERY odd not being able to climb them. An aguemented super-soldier can flip a 3 ton tank, but not climb a ladder. And if it's up in lofts, or in some background, then why are you worrying about it being modeled instead of the single plane alpha blended technique? =\

Are you speaking of the all mighty scorpion? it weighs 66 tons...but yeah it would be weird...retarded MC!

Here's a new pic for you, the bridge, which is almost finished:

The huge displays will have custom textures, but I haven't made them yet. So will the triangular-ish console in the middle.

Now I have another window to put in....

Ahh, done:

There are now 3 view windows in the bridge, just need to add glass later.

Oh, I hate it when I have to do this to get peoples attention... Good thing people say they're waiting for this map as much as coldsnap:

Now that is progress!

I like that fly through render...albeit a tad bit small.

I made it as a smiley for MSN...

More pics:

Is she not the definition of perfection?

The bridge

It's lonely down here...

The weapons systems, sorry, the gun isn't ready yet.

And that's the Draco. Any questions?

It should, everything but the chairs are custom, though.

Friggin..
Ok, fatal problem:
When I try to export the jms, 3ds max dies after 30 seconds, blank file. Any help?

Other than that, this may be tagged by march 1st...

Ok basically you are fucked up cause none knows how to fix that error besides Kornmann.
Seems soemthig with Arrays.Mb you should fix the errors above and see what happens then.Also you can try overide and old .scenario file.

What does this have to do with a .scenario file? It's a GBX model...
I'll take a look at the JMS and see if I find something nasty...

OMFg forgot you wanted to make a vehicle

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 12:13 pm

It was the hallways and engines, I removed and...

Welcome to Sapien, Draco!

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 12:15 pm

Looks cool, albeit a bit smaller than I thought.

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 1:10 pm

lol.

The hallways, bulkeads and engines are frakked and will need to be remodeled, then I need to make the collision geometry, then, when all that is done, it will be time to make the map.
