@Nigel
I know how you feel. Metaseq isn't too bad once you get the hang of it. Is there no format that you can save in that will work in Truespace, though?

@Bravehart
Thanks! Good to have seen you online as well, Bravehart.

Nigel, let me know which software you want to use, I will send you proper file extension, you can open it directly in your software "open" menu...

Warsign: Truespace uses Caligari object files (cob) but I was thinking it might be worth branching out to a different program. The thing with Truespace is that, though it is really good for molding unique shapes (at least, I got the hang of the controls) it does not seem to do as well putting textures on them.

So, I need to learn how to do proper UV mapping so that the cockpits are more than just metal shapes.

Also, I'm curious about the lighting and reflection files. Are these just duplicates of the cockpit file, or is there more to them?

Also, the reflection in the glass, is that a separate file also?

For reflections, I used the exact same model as my base model. For the lighting model, I used the same model but different textures (the texture is black except for where the lights are). You could, in theory, create a different lighting model to create a sort of holographic effect, though.

But the speed of this thing, ofcourse, depends on whether its European or African.

Would you happen to know what its airspeed velocity is, then, if its unladen?

If we are talking about the EvoSol Dynamics Swallow, then airspeed velocity is 0, as there is no air in space.

If we are talking about the bird swallow, then I would say approximately 11 mps

EDIT:
Yes, I actually Googled that, so shut up

Lol!

Yes, Googling chicks and swallow didn't exactly display the results I was looking for...
