Question about DoGA. Is there a way to get more parts/textures for the program???

Yes, Todd Z has posted links to download more parts on the Doga English forum. Just scroll through the message until you find it.

Oh my. More parts to play with?

*sigh* I'll never sleep again!

And they are good parts too.

I am normally on MSN or Trillan by 1pm PST each day.

If you see me here posting, send me a PM.

Toxic, how did you create the glowing parts on your models? Did you set the emmisions high or did you use the glow material setting?

When I use DOGA L3 I have the images rendered with a black back ground at 1000 x 1000. I then use Windows Tools to resize them to 128 x 128 and 36 x 36 and the use PAINT to ensure that the black back ground is indeed black by chaging it to a white back ground the back to black. I save my work and I am done.

Is Windows Tools a program that comes default with windows or do you have to buy it seperatly? Also, waht are the advantages/disadvantages of doing it this way instead of just rendering them in 128 x 128 and 32 x 32?

By "Windows Tools" I think he means a standard Windows program like Paint or Photo Editor.

Rendering larger and then shrinking, in effect, gives you a higher resolution.

I used the Emmition setting. It wasn't high or low, I used the custom type and set it to about 400% for the ships. I forget what I set the Rablak himself to, but it was probably similar.

Emition Low Preset = Emition tab at 0%
Emition High Preset = Emition tab at 400%
