SEV shipset instructions?

[Ed Kolis]

I emailed Aaron about this very question a few days ago, remembering a news post on SEnet saying the shipset specs should be released in July, and he said he'd have them out sometime this coming week!

I guess the BIG question is will the DoGA files work in the new system and will they be able to be converted if not? A lot of the people on this site use DoGA and it would be a shame to loose all the current models out there that are already done and would be ready for use in SEV.

Doga can export to directX format (.x) but the models tend to be high in terms of polygons, which usually requires that they be optimized in another program prior to being important into SE5.

Ah, good news.

Also after some headbanging and frustration I finally got a working shipmodel into the starfury demo. (I thought I had everything set up the way I should, but no ship showed up when I started starfury, After trying everything possible I found out that the ship was scaled too small by a factor of thousand or more and had been on screen all the time as a tiny pixel.. .)

Anyhow here is a screenshot, 212 polygons, mainly an experiment in uvmapping and texturing, modelled in blender, texture made with The Gimp.

Nice ship!
What kind of ship is it anyway?

[henk brouwer]

I don't know yet , suggestions?

It looks rather similar to the ship from 'Firefly' so yes, a transport.

[Caduceus]

Small transport.

The pixel that roared!!!

Looks like some sort of transport...
