I always loved the artwork but could never get into the game XD

They sure know how to make giant spaceships though which, as I suspected, look awesome against Outerra's terrain!

that thing is huge! looks great! now show me a ship like that with full interior! thanks for the download!

[adriaan]

looks pretty nice. where did you get the model?
i would love a good source of free models

[WormSlayer]

I just picked a large one at random, there are hundreds in this model pack.

[adriaan]

thanks a lot. ill join you in converting them. one question how did you do make the material look like this?

and how do you import the .sm files in a model editor?

[PytonPago]

Oh my ... another huge flying thingy ! 

[WormSlayer]

Yeah I'm not sure why there is only a single map for each ship in the model pack but I used a program called CrazyBump to make normal and specular maps from the colour map, then spent a while messing about with the matlib and reloading outerra... Still a bit too shiny I think!

[adriaan]

looks pretty great if you ask me.
i have another issue. my ship looks way to bright except some parts of it remain darker.
any suggestions (cameni)?

[cameni]

Maybe something in the materials, or the object renderer doesn't handle the size well, using wrong atmospheric parameters. Angrypig?

[WormSlayer]

I had the same problem though I'm not entirely sure how I fixed it... I'm finding the material system kind of confusing

You could try just copying the material settings I ended up with...

[adriaan]

and did you import the model with the bump maps? or added them later manually..

[WormSlayer]

Models I import never have the maps, I always have to edit the matlib file and add the filenames manually.

[adriaan]

allright. i succeeded in importing the bumps!
btw how do you get al your different textures together in one image? manually? or any tool for that

[WormSlayer]

After importing a model, I quit Outerra, load the new matlib file into notepad, and enter the filenames for the different bitmaps...

[adriaan]

yeah i got that, but i end up with over 20 different textures and a crazy big matlib file while your model has them all in one. i don't understand how to map them on different parts of the model and keep them in one DDS
