Okay, so slightly off topic but I do notice that alot of you guys use doga to model the shipsets with. Is it a free program? If not about how much would it cost?
Anyways, realy nice shipset. |

Re: Finished with New Set the Saturian Commonwealt
You might want to bypass Doga and use a program more capable of creating 3d models for use in-game, rather than just rendering 2d images. Doga can render great 2d images (such as Atrocities' work), but it sucks for games that use real time rendering, as the polygon count of the models is way too high. This will allow you to make models that can be used both in SE4 and SE5. Surely somebody will post links to their favorite modelers.

Re: Finished with New Set the Saturian Commonwealt
DOGA is free to use, but many of us have paid the $40.00 us to registar it.
DOGA is a great 3d tool, better than most in its price range, and is being used in games and believe it or not, tv in Japan.
But Fyron is correct the polygons are exceptionaly high for use with real time rending games like SF and SE V.

Re: Finished with New Set the Saturian Commonwealt
Beautiful work! I think the transports would be better as warships, though...

Re: Finished with New Set the Saturian Commonwealt
I Use Anim8or www.anim8or.com It's free, and I have succeded in making a few models that worked in Starfury. Although the models need to be converted from .obj or .3ds to .x in some 'other' program. I think I used conv3ds.exe the file converter that comes with the DirectX SDK.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Cheers! |

Re: Finished with New Set the Saturian Commonwealt
I'll push Blender as always. I found it very powerful - plugins, scripting, ability to use external renderer, subsurfacing, boolean operations, some NURBS capabilities, a lot of tutorials and creative community. And native export to .X (in 2.36 at least). And free.
The only problem is interface. It's not a newbie friendly. But people who got accustomed with it told it's very comfortable to use.
