Junk!

[arlia101]

Also not sure at all how i'd do it.. all the pieces, or just the three main parts (Lighthouse, Foundry, Dread berth/engines). plus oh..say, a good year or so indevelopment, plus a whole new pack of paper
lol.. mucho at the sort of resources the Progenitors had at their fingertips
::salivates in jealousy::
i could never get enough resources to build whatever i wanted in HW2 ... before editing the save files ;D

Size, is never a problem. There is always somewhere to hang such goodies away from the deprivations of dogs, cats and, most importantly, 'she who must be obeyed'. (My better half)!!
Seriously tho', really, I can see it would be an biiiiiiig task but, think about it Arlia, can U imagine the Kudos you'd get designing this thing? Plus, I can hang it on the long stair-wall in my house and it would really look cool!!!!
Have a good think about it Arlia 'cos if you do not do it I'll cry!
Thats it. Iv'e tried grovelling, now emotional blackmail, wots next?

[arlia101]

but on a bright note lol
the aft section of the wreck looks managable in PPKA
so i may look into that soon

[arlia101]

and i'll be anxious to see what <i>is</i> next , plasticman
but dont worry... i wont let that one go without a fight, at least

[MAN MAN]

ok !

While we're talking about junk, has anyone considered the Kharam Wreck?

[arlia101]

mentioning the kharam wreck, i took a look and i have an unfold sitting on my HD... haven't attempted it yet (it's rather large!)
but i'll be happy to temp-host it somewhere, or send it to yess.

btw yoji... i have to ask- how'd you relabel the link to the kharam wreck? all i can ever do is make the address itself a hyperlink (i.e. rapidshare.com/files/21327504/hulknose.pdo )
did you use html, like <a href="">link name </a>?
yes, this has been bothering me since i joined lol.
btw, the Kharam Wreck nose is the above link . the turret is a beast. i just did the nose for fun, don't feel like tackling the other monster right now.

I put the URL in the first tag, gave it a name between the tags, and then underlined it so it looked like a link instead of simple text. I think it should look like...

<url=http://hwmodels.ovh.org/><u>Homeworld Models</u></url>

[arlia101]

thanks yoji.. will this bit of code out to see what i can do.

[arlia101]

on the subject of junk and derelicts...
i've also started work on a build of the classic favorite,

any suggestions on size?
(for example, to scale with my higgy mothership the derelict will stand about 1.5m (5 feet) tall!
i was thinking of just making the scaffold part to scale, then a whole model much reduced... imput?
closer view here
got the link working, mucho thanks yoji

[TheGlove]

I think the right thing to do would be making a smaller mothership.

it is cool indeed, i think it's complex model though

[arlia101]

actually, because of its size its not nearly as complex as you might think. the only real complex parts to it are the scaffold, the upper hangar, and the edge folds; the hangar is unfolding nicely, and the scaffold looks to be about as hard as the mothership door (large, flat object; seems simple). the edge folds are more annoying than complex; there's just alot of them to do.

[arlia101]

re: glove... i'd agree to a smaller mothership definately; only my existing make is already the LOD2 version, and I'd have no idea where to start lowering the detail so it could be made smaller. i seem to remember a utility that automatically lowered LOD on homeworld 1 models.. any ideas where that might be available? or if anyone can/would want to work on it by hand, that'd be great too

[gmod9freak]

i think if you've got it as small as you can ...... make a five feet tall one! (im about four and a half feet tall so that would be amazing!!!)(just as long as my parents don't get REEEEELY PIST at me)
