And if that doesn't do it for ya then...

I've run out of ideas

Edit: I TOTALLY intentionally didn't spell it "Awesome" on purpose.

Ah well, AWSOME

The Xperimental Shutle -> a cool but simple modell

Xperimental Shutle?

you don´t know the XShuttle

The "X" was Kyle Brennans ship when he first reached the X-Universe in X Beyond The Frontier

[the4ce]

Well I played only X2 and X3...so I don't know it.

Hmmm

I've extracted those files I need (Argon M3 with the dds files) succesfully and converted the BOB files to BOD
However when I open that file in gmax (under utilities bla bla DBOX2) I run script, open the file and it results always in some Error of unexpected syntax "/" blabla shyt

Im trying to get a M3 nova if possible a pirate one into pepakura.

Anyway Ill try a few time more and then try the thing whole over again.


Grtz

I know you need to press some button(I think) that makes the import special for ships?

[Jey 16]

Could you please do the X Shuttle ?
I only own gmax and as it seems GMax can´t export into any file format thats compatible with Pepakura ...

The X Shuttle is a easy modell and not very coomplicated (It´s also in X² -> but you can only "cheat" it)

€dit: here the modell and the textures are in CAT/DAT 03
The modell has arround 900 polygons (Buster arround 10.000!!!)

modell path:

CAT/DAT 03 \v\00124.bod

texture patch:

CAT/DAT 03 \tex\true\212.jpg
CAT/DAT 03 \tex\true\33.jpg
CAT/DAT 03 \tex\true\176.jpg
CAT/DAT 03 \tex\true\43.jpg

Please it´s a very simple modell and you shouldn have to edit the modell as it´s very simple.
I think it´s ok when it´s 15cm long ...

err...I don't have X: Beyond the Frontier but you could download a trial for Autodesk 3ds Max.

EDIT: Or...you could try this: http://home.comcast.net/~gloryuntogod/m ... x_max.html
you only need to export it to a obj format

[Jey 16]

NOOO the modell is in X³ too the path above belongs to X³

That´s where you can find it in X³

[the4ce]

Oh...I haven't known that

But, you don't want to try the suggestions from my post? I could make it for you but I don't know how much it will take...I done the Argon Buster in a week but working ~3 hours a day.

[Jey 16]

I would be cool to have it as a .pdf file

As I said the modell is extreme lowpoly so it should be easy to adjust everything ... the hardest part is the cockpit because it´s "round"

I´d say just open the file and have a look at it -> it´s a cool design you may liek it too.

[the4ce]

I don't really know...I don't know in how much time I will finish it...

[Jey 16]

Time isn´t a problem - it´s your free time so you decide what you do ^^
I have enough time .. so I´ve you just work 1 hour per week that would be more than enough ...

[Arreck]

Can't wait for more!!

[Sart]

Sorry for a late and dumb question - but which paper fromat should I use to print the model? Will A4 (210x297 mm) be enough, or A3 (297x420 mm) would be a wiser choice?

[the4ce]

It's never late to ask a question

Use A4 and I recommend using thick paper. (200 g/m) Sorry for late reply, but I don't visit this thread very often now.

[Sart]

Thanks for the reply. I have plenty of 250 g paper in different formats, so I am going to use that. It shouldn't be too thick, I think.

[the4ce]

No problem.
I used A4 250 g/m (or 200 g/m? I can't remember)

[Tenlar Scarflame]

This thing looks fantastic. My X-universe fanboyness is not complete without making this and putting it with my models. Well done 4ce!

[the4ce]

Thank you! What models do you have?

[Tenlar Scarflame]

Hah, assorted Space Marines and Legos. Plus Vader's TIE fighter. Buster, of course, is > the TIE fighter. ^^
