I found a complete skleton on a german tutorial page. No idea if its free for use .....but its in 3ds format and usable I think im gonna use the skull .......... http://www.tutorials.de/forum/3d-studio-max/131389-schaedel-modellieren.html http://www.tutorials.de/forum/attachments/3d-studio-max/7662-...

I animated both now the bulb inside the glass and the beam..... I think this is the final version of the lighthouse........even if i did some lil mistake with the mapping (the side of the plattform using to much space)....... Now im thinking about a new modell...Ive some ideas.. Its gonna be either ...

lol yeah im learning it that way.....
I actually thought v3 would be the final one......
Now i thought v8, but well i kinda dislike the mapping i did......so I might redo it but that doesnt mean u cant edit the ones i alrdy made.......

Compared to pirate ship.....
which goes 9 ion and holds 22t cargo..
well not really slow prolly had the speed of the cobra in mind........

Got it down to 772 polys yeah....

Meh........

Getting hit by a light beam ;-p....
*makes light saber sounds*

Theoreatically a wormhole would be found in the center of a black hole.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole oh and a wormhole would be a natural phenomenon.....a stargate an artificial construct which can produce wormholes...... therefore the term stargat...

Sounds a bit complicated so im gonna leave it with jsut the beam :-p But im remapping the lighthouse which is alot more work then I though lol.... But im getting the grip...made some new mistakes though, like free scaling so doors etc are biased...... So i could basicly put all the faces in two pile...

A galfreighter isnt better...it can carry more cargo but its slow.....so its alll depending on ur trade routes........

Yeah if u jump with open starmap it gets a bit messed up....the range circle specially and it isnt centraled at ur position....zooming out and in again (F6) fixes it....

Thx for ur hints..alrdy noticed there too many polys....i havent considered that...(still so much to learn) and the mapping is bad lol but i was too lazy to start all over again...there even parts mapped that dont show up at all I already attached the beam to the cylinder inside the glass but that d...

One thing i still want to change is to make the "bulp" rotating aswell...is it possible to have another wheel on the same axis as the 1st one?

Its working now...........

U can downlaod the lighthouse i made here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/azgavc/universal/lighthouse6_5.jpg http://mitglied.lycos.de/azgavc/universal/lighthousev6_5.atm It comes with a rotating "lightbeam".....at least kind of... http://mitglied.lycos.de/azgavc/universal/lh6_5screenshot.jpg

There is an export plugin to export as md3 files....those u can import in Lithunwrap a freewareprogramm, which can be used to export to .3ds files which the atm converter can read.....

the modelled lightbeam looks cool but i cant get over a length of 500 (whatever units that are) or it get all fudge....its like it stops at a certain point and returns to the direction it came from.... tThe problem is that it looks unreal if u see the end of the beam...maybe some kind of fade out wo...

I tried to attach it on the rotating "lightbulb" but u cant see the light....too bad ;-( Im using now the flashing light with a long period "3000". I attached it at the side so it lightens the roof bottom and the lightbulb....the purple looks a bit odd though lol.... Hmm modellll...

No paint but u can make half of the wildlife attacking and half of them droppiing stuff....

The tutorial helped me alot to get the basic impression how the whole ampping thing worked....
I figured out u can just drag the texture from the material window on ur modell....
