    • Extreme 3D?


      I was just wondering if anyone knew where a download of Extreme 3D is? Or if not maybe a link to a other good 3d modeler other then Strata. Thanks

      On another note I was trying to make the "Dart" an escape pod so all of us Vellos could jump ship if the need every came around. But I have the "Vellos Dart" check as an escape pod, but it wont use it as one when I'm flying my Javalin... Any suggestions?

    • You can try Mechanisto, on either the EV or EVO addons page. I think it's free now, even though it says you need to pay $20 for it.

    • Heh heh. I always push POVRay (www.povray.org). Not only is it freeware, but version 3.1xxx will run on any machine. If you've got the money, try SoftImage, or Lightwave (which ATMOS used to make Nova graphics).

      As for the "Dart" escape pod, you need to give the Javelin a "bay" for the darts, and also an escape pod. Instead of ejecting in a pod, you'll eject in one of the Darts that the Javelin was carrying. I bet you could even just give yourself a dart and no bay....

    • Thanks you guys.

      Also about the escape pod thing, what I was trying to figure out is that we already have "3 lots of energy to create darts" or something like that so wouldn't that count as the bay? and then you just give those darts the escape pod flag, then if you have 1 dart that "isn't created yet" you should in theory be able to use it as an escape pod... right? But it doesn't, the game doesn't understand that it is a escape pod so I can't eject. Is something out of place, or maybe the Bay version of the Dart is different then the one you can buy? I dont quite understand why it doesn't work.

      I would think that the bay version is the same as the dart you can buy, but I'm not sure. Just make yourself an escape pod, except word it like a Vell-os deal, like... I dunno. Yea. sorry. Don't have any ideas for you at this time, but it'd be easy give the player an escape pod, or at least an outfit that behaves like an escape pod for the sake of the game being able to eject you in a dart.

    • No, the bay based version is different than the one you can buy. Note that the one you buy doesn't come w/ built in weapons, while the carried version most definitely does.

      That explains a lot. Of course, I never got into the Vell-Os thread.

    • just make the dart ship an escape ship , if you have nova tools , click the little box that says escape ship , now if you have any you can eject.

    • I'm not sure you can download Extreme 3D. It used to be a commercial product, but Macromedia discontinued it. I asked Macromedia about E3D's current software license, but got no response. As an Extreme 3D owner and user myself, I would distribute copies if it weren't for the fact that I don't know how legal it would be.

      Extreme 3D is not the best modeler, though, you are probably better off with something else.

      It's just me vs. UBBCode links

    • Yeah I'm not looking for a modeler though... I use Amapi 3D v4.15 to model because I feel its easier for me to use, but I need a program to apply texture and do the Spin graphic and I didn't know whether it was a good program to do that or not. And I cannot understand POVRay so thats not really an option.
