    • Rotating Ships


      Ok, I'm having some problems with a ship that I'm making for a plug. No matter what I do I just can't get it to rotate. I searched around on the forums a little and found out that I need to make a bitmap grid. I searched a little more to try and find out how to do this but I found nothing. Please help, the plug is dangerously close to my recycle bin, and I kind of liked the idea of it.
      Oh, and I'm using a PC.

    • You can't rotate the ship in a plug maker - you do that in your 3D program. Then you take the movie or set of PICTs and you run them through m2s or p2s (do those not work for PCs? If they don't then you have to do it manually) That will make your grid.
