Or a couple of hours - forever isn't what it used to be. It is a pretty simple design, like fluffy said, especially without any of the interior/props set up. But I do prefer the open-air design to something completely interior, since I like the feel of catwalks.

And I like the train, are those wheels textured or just really detailed?

It'll have pilotable swoops available on the bottom and maybe some flyers available up top (in the hangar itself or perhaps on the small landing platforms). I'm only gonna use the stuff I put together myself for this, so you'll see a bunch of nonmilitary fighters (like the fighters from Abraxas Platform) or airspeeders.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to add some transparency to the catwalks, let me know what ya'll think.

Wow lots of models are going great here so far! :D

Makes me feel like my models are too simple :oops: lol
Unfortunately I cant show them because I still cant figure out how to get mshex to make my model right...A grey square aint nothing close to a big factory with smokepipes and stuff!


Keep up the good work guys :thumbs:

You need the Pandemic XSI addon to export, I hope you know. It's in the XSI forum.
Yeah, I'm having trouble ggetting my models ingame, I always get the three same exact errors and the occasional warning. Is the scene root the parent of the dummyroot, or is the dummyroot it's own thing?

Scene_Root is created by default when ever you start a new model.
dummyroot is the null you create. Everything else goes under the dummyroot.
When exporting you just branch select the dummyroot not the scene_root

Hmm fragme that might actually be my problem with the MshEx, i must have put the dummyroot in the scene root. I got my donut model ingame with collision but the UV just screwed up completely.

Everything goes under the scene_root so that doesn't matter. Lights and cameras don't need to be under the dummyroot. The only thing that does is everything you plan on putting ingame.

Should speak for itself. Bar moved to top of the commons building. I added platforms to the commons building and my house. Soon to add one to the jedi temple.

I think I'm right about this one, Rep will have to confirm, as he modeled it for me.

My place is very modest :P But that's how I like em'. If I need to go visit Rep in his penthouse I'll just jump in my personal V-Wing (thanks to Caleb) when that time comes.

... man, you guys are really good to me. :mrgreen:
