Be that as it may, I was just over on the SE#4.net site and saw an Imperial shipset that was available for download. Maybe that's what he's looking for.

I have the Star Wars Imperial

I am looking for a Warhammer 40k Imperium of Mankind Naval Shipset.

These are the ships in the Imperial Fleet and I truely hope someone can make them for me :-)

P.S. Click the sillouete and you can see the true details of the warships.

I guess by the lack of response that my dreams of an Imperium of man shipset to go along with the Ork and Chaos ones is dead http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

If you can find decent pictures of them, you can crop them to make your own semi-decent set in the mean-time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

I'm afraid I do not know how to do that :-( I wish I could. Are there any free tutorials or software I can download?

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

Just use MSpaint.

In case the images you download aren't in BMP format, a good viewer/conVersion utility is IrfanView.

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

So what kind of a picture do I need I mean will the pictures listed on the web site I gave you work?

And how do I get that cool topdown veiw? Or does the game it's self automatically do a top down view of the portrait?

Oh and this might sound dumb but how do I actually get them in game? Because right now I only have the demo and am figuring I'll get the full Version on Christmas so I wont be able to test it for awhile :-(.

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

Basically, take a look at an existing shipset that came from the game - you have to make a directory under Pictures\Races with the name of your race, and then under that you put all the pictures, preceded with the race name, just like with the stock shipsets - so if you wanted to create a shipset called "Zorg" then you'd need to create Zorg_Main.bmp, Zorg_Portrait_Starbase.bmp, Zorg_Mini_FighterSmall.bmp, and all the rest, all in a Zorg directory.

And sorry, the game won't generate the topdown views for you - you have to make them or find them yourself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

BTW, IIRC you CAN add your own ships to the demo, you just have to replace the existing ships with your ships (keeping the same race name) instead of creating a new directory for them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

As for how to make the shipsets: Check out the Basic ship set tutorial by Atrocities. Good luck on your project.

Re: Hey I was wondering?
 

I have plenty of portrait type shots but the pain in the butt is I can't seem to find any top down shots of any Imperial ships...
