Citizen Federation Version 2.0 available !

[Captain Kwok]

Aside from the Star Trek mod, I'm also working on the replacement for the former Spoogy Federation (now known as the Juprup Federation) shipset as my final projects for SE:IV.

After that, I'm going to start thinking about Space Empires V and a potential mod I have in mind for it already.

By the way, what will be the format for SE V ships ? Will it be possible to convert graphics made with doga ? with bryce ?

[Nodachi]

Well, Starfury ships will be .x files (directx), IIRC, so one would assume that SEV ships will be the same.

There are plug-ins for many 3d programs to export to that format. If you can't find one for your program of choice there are file converters that can do it for you.

A question for the shipset designers: If you make a new shipset for Starfury or SEV, can't you also release that set for SEIV, since it's just a matter of rendering to a bmp? For that matter, if you've saved the 3d project file for a SEIV shipset can't you use that for the new games? Just curious.

It seems it's impossible to export bryce 5 files to any other format. Too bad for the pirates & starship empire.
Perhaps you will see a spaceshark SE V Version, as DOGA L3 allows savings in .x format.

What software would you use to create .x file ?

[TerranC]

DoGA of course

Although I am learning how to use 3DS Max 4 and Maya.

[Nodachi]

What software would you use to create .x file ?

Personally, I'd use 3ds max since that's all I've got for 3d.

Most of the mainstream programs (Maya, Lightwave, ect.) can do the export either natively or through a plug-in. Bryce seems to be an exception, which is a shame since it can produce some amazing work.

Trooper: i've just seen the set, awesome ships there! good idea, too.

What are you using? dont tell me its DOGA!
