I hope that model spins - it looks like it should spin. And my new laptop runs Fleetops.

Yeah, I wish I knew how to make things spin... I'm not sure which direction it should spin either. On the x axis or the y. (like a wheel, or like a top)

It doesn't, i actualy kinda dislike the idea of it spining. but from a technical aspect, to get it to spin Zax or me would have to get 3ds Max, as its the only program that can export animations that we have a model exporter for. we'd have to learn the system, and then animate it.

Yeah, I always thought there was an easier way to do it with planets and such, but I could never get it to work. Crisis, check your email btw.

yeah there is with the planet map object class, but as these need to be ingame stations to be affected by weapons, they can't use the rotate command.

Wow man, you work so fast.

Even not spinning it looks nice. I look forward to seeing it in action. Besides - you could always make it spin at a later time, like in a Deluxe Edition.

Or i could always design a station with a different purpose, and make it spin.

Nice! That effect looks much better. Did you get a higher res texture?

No i got a comxture. thats the em blast texture. Another little trick i used is that i seperate texture file for each resource and that gives my greater control of the color manipulation. instead of using the buil in rgb coder in fo, which tends to over saturate and dull colors.
