3D modelling - HELP!

I don't know. I guess the best way is to install it and see what happens. Mostly likely it will install over L1 and you will have to select your L1 images manually as it will default to open only L3 images.

I've now installed L2 and L3. They install seperately. In the File drop-down of 2 and 3 is the abililty to "Open DOGA-L1 File."
I've got a boring fighter model I made in L1 opened in L2 and I'm playing with the textures.

Don't so much like any of them. Are there textures to download into this as there are parts/components? Is there a way to mod the textures to get different effects? If TC is only using DOGA, where does he get all those *****in textures?

Thanks,

Take a night off and relax. You will figure it out in the morning.

Open the DOGA L3 folder and make a short cut for the DOGA.exe file.

Or copy the DOGA file and BMP for the ship you have and email them to me. (Zip them please.) I will see what I can do.

The textures are mostly made or aquired via a google search.

Also to post an image on this site it has to be PNG. You can save your rendered object with a black back ground as a PNG. (Doga L3 that is) L1 is much more limited.

Just send me the files.

I downloaded and resaved your image as a png. Lets see if it works.

Never mind, did not work. Ask David Gervais how he did it.

Let's give it a try:

OK, the only thing I did different was to resave it with a lowercase png as the file extension;
Code:

From Google image search, from Freespace 2, from a friend, and some... I mean one I've created myself.

But mostly from a site which I would be happy to give you a link to it via PM if you are interested.

And if you would like, I could try to write up a quick tutorial on DoGA texturing.

Why not just post the link?

Nice fighter! Me like it. Only the window isn't really my stile. Maybe something a little more transparent?
