Title: Low poly 3D models?
Post by: ptx on December 06, 2007, 05:36:22 am
Hi All.

Have any of the ships been recreated using low polygon models? If so, is there a central repository?

All the models on http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sc3d/ seem to be huge...

Thanks,

I'd like to locate or put together a publicly accessible repository (on a service like sourceforge or a wiki).

In case such thing doesn't exist - any thoughts of what service to use for the repository:
  • Add to Ultronomicon wiki
  • Add to uqm svn repository
  • Create new sourceforge project (for uqm-related tools and such)
  • Other?

Looks like Ultronomicon MediaWiki has been (intentionally?) configured not to accept non-image uploads...
I believe a TWiki would work quite well for this, but where to host it... hmm.

Best regards,

The Ultronomicon (http://http//uqm.stack.nl/wiki/) is a good place to collect references to such materials.
The actual materials could be housed there too, as long as the copyright allows it.

Right, I think that would be the perfect place for it. Who is in charge of that wiki server? Looks like Ultronomicon MediaWiki has been (intentionally?) configured not to accept non-image uploads...

Well, I am in charge of the MediaWiki installation. There is a whitelist of accepted file types. Just tell me what file extensions these files can have, and I'll add them.

Bumping this hideously old thread because I'm working on the PNF resource page. Did ptx ever find any models and upload them to the Ultronomicon. Am I just stupid and can't find them?

EDIT: I may well be, I think I found the page.
