I've remembered how to do this. It's... convoluted, to say the least Have a look at the wiki. ah yes, it makes sense now. I used to thing blender was stupid. It turns out it is just ultra logical and I am stupid.

<t>I did see something about islands the other day on my home laptop, I'll see if I can find it again from the history. I am also have issues with islands (that is what you call a face upwrapped collection of vertices yes?) and overlaying them exactly on top of each other. rotating them exactly into ...

Nice. I think I am going to download all of his models

I need to learn how to compile pioneer. I'm feeling left out.

<t>OK, first issue. I can't get different textures to apply correctly to their respective meshes. It looks OK in Blender, but not once I've imported it into Pioneer. I guess I'm either messing up the export to .dae, or I'm getting the .model files wrong (edit - I've now tried in .obj, and that doesn ...

<t>Not sure which one you're using, but there's a Blender file for the new-model Lanner in the pioneer-assets repository on github: [url]https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer-assets/tree/master/ships/lanner[/url] Retexturing it would be really useful, because the LMR version has a bunch of ...

<r>I've played around with them, just couldn't make it work properly for some reason. I'm leaving that part for someone with some experience of it actually doing what it's meant to do... Only suggestions I can think of are to join the meshes together for the purposes of unwrapping. Or to unwrap one ...

<t>Mikehgentry - 'Seams' are where YOU want meshes 'cut' rather than letting blender decide for you. I want the other way round where I can join two meshes together to unwrap as one. Example.I have 2 meshes. Hull_Top and Hull_Bottom.I can successfully unwrap Hull_Top to the UV editor view but when I ...

<t>John and Mike, I have learned more today about blender and UV mapping than I have in the last 6 months. I can not thank you two enough. I am going to take the lanner remap challenge. So I take it that the preferred texture setup for the new models is 1 x 1024x1024.png for the entire model? I ...

<t>Retexturing it would be really useful, because the LMR version has a bunch of separate textures and when I did the conversion I just took those and put them all into one big texture. We do want it to just have one texture, but the problem is that at the moment that texture is really badly used ...

my brain in melted. I'll have another go tomorrow at work.

balls, never thought to look at the price.

that would have been me some one once told me it would make my voice go funny it wasn't until i nearly killed myself that i realized they were thinking of helium :suicide: well at least you were not filling balloons with it for the kids :wacko:

Ugh I detest Blender because of it's interface, a million ways to do everything, not one that works.yeah but for someone who has no idea about anything I'll take as many ways to do nothing as possible

<t>ok, so a morning of banging my head against a wall, I have managed to sucessfully unwrap the lanner, texture it (somewhat crudely) and apply it back to the model and get it working in game. Go me. so, onto the questions. 1) Using the Lanner as an example, it has a Hull_matte and a Hull_Shiny and ...

never thought to use them walterar. D'oh.

agh, made a mistake, closed blender and started again and now I can not replicate what I did before....grr EDIT , forgot unwrap..jeez

<r>yeah I ended up with about 4 windows all showing the uv map editor! righto, I followed the instructions and managed to unwrap the lanner provided in the latest nightly. Excellent beginning meaning your instructions are understandable by a complete tit. Me! I can't quite get the weld / snap ...

@mike, are you using the blender ui or the maya? my version of blender is views are above each other not side by side? I can't fiddle with it at the mo as I don't have it on my work latop. But will shortly! EDIT - Ignore me I have sorted it.
