this is really fun. got some wicked tribes vibes because of the fresh mode of transportation. Really can't wait for the extremely good looking single player!
it looks awesome, although it's hard for me to picture it as a transport ship, the front of it makes me think too much of a Kadeshi multibeam frigate. (that's a good thing, though)
Those bubble planes are built to transport other large plane pieces. That one in particular, space shuttle bits :D For me, it's all about the warthog, baby!
The truth is out there somewhere. I guess you are right about transfering issue. Probably something went wrong-the project contains a lot of subtools exported from the same Max scene, and this problem appeared only with some of them (including original version). Others baked fine even in cases when mesh had UVs on…
Be aware of the fact that the ricasso (the part of the blade between the two crossbars) was used to grip the blade for easy transport and better aiming. You put spikes there ^-^ wouldn't be nice to hold it there!
This was for my assignment for class at my college Ferris State University (FSU) to make a transport vehicle between 1900-1910. This of course is a high poly. I wouldn't know how to make this low poly. Don't remember there was a term for that.
