Heres another random image, a death gliver blowing up, problem is, i cant texture them and i dont know the right export option to preserve the textures.

hey tep you are getting better and better I can see, keep it up

Some pics of the Endeavor (Gateworld fleet 3.0 cruiser submission)

It has a new texture, and better lighting that previous renders of it. As well as the name on the side being Endeavor, instead of Challenger. Lol

Spoiler:

The top render is far better in my opinion...im not sure how i managed it though. Does anyone have any ideas on what i may have done? I think its got something to do with the light sources.

Some extra ones!

Spoiler:

Ok i really need some help, i need a format that preserves textures, they just dont come out right, im using OBJ at the moment but 3ds is too intensive for me

Spoiler:

nice work. I prefer the lower pic myself. What is that ship below the Daedalus to the left of it? (I think its the Daedalus, it looks like it. )

I would have to say sketchup is the easiest to learn, although you have to be good to get good results from it.
Here are links to the best from the 3d warehouse:

Blender is also supposed to be a good program. I only use it to convert files formats, cos ive never been able to figure out how to use it effectively. Lol

[immhotep]

sketchup! save yourself a headache or a million and use sketchup, im working in bryce at the moment.

nice work tep and titan-hq

I have a little favor to ask. Could someone convert one of my first 3d space ships that I have on the warehouse? convert it into 3ds? and then send it to me?
