Egads, no, that'd be far too much hassle!CSE wrote:Congrats Dino and the other winners! Nicely done!
PS: as a renderer, as was partial for HS. How did you do to "cut" your spaceship model for making the derelict? Did you re-model it part-by-part?
It's easy peasy to do in Wings3D.... Steps as follows
1. Create your model as it would be if it wasn't trashed
. I had a partially finished cruiser that I didn't particularly like, so I tweaked it a bit. Did the whole thing in Wings3D, of course.2. To chop it up into sections, make liberal use of the extract function. In the case of The Skiron Find, I first selected the front section by faces, then extracted it on the Y axis by.... 4 or so units. Then I did the same with the middle of the ship, then the same again with the aft section.
3. If you judge it right, they should more or less fit together - any squiffy bits you can hide with rock formations and the like. The ship I was using was pretty simple so the deformed bits were kept to a minimum.
4. Once it's in bits and you've imported it into Vue you can move the individual sections around as required.
As a bonus, when extracting the original model is unaffected. Sure, if you've already textured it in Vue then you'd have to retexture it, but it beats remodelling the entire thing.
I'll message you with details.
