Also, possibly a dumb question but how do you go about extracting the eve models from the .stuff files for importing into 3ds Max? I don't have the patience to model an Opux from scratch but if you can get the original model it's just a matter of pimping it up a bit.
It is easier to create from scratch than it is to pimp the existing one - trust me.
Yeah but I'd need a copy of the Opux model anywho. It'd help a lot to have a 3d reference to work off instead of a few screenshots.
Also, what's so hard about working off the original model?

You can't turn it to a poly, it would screw up, that's why you can't work with it.

Check out the EVE technology forum section for "tri-exporter" thread, should be somewhere near the top.

Oh sweetness. Cheers.
Knew I should've checked that forum once in a while...

I get the feeling I'm making a noob out of myself here but...
You mean converting the model into an editable poly right? I just did a quick test and it appeared to work. I messed with a few polys and gave the Opux dumbo ears. Textures get screwed up obviously but apart from that... what am I missing?

Hrm... Well, the model certainly has the potential to look bad-ass. If there are any real professionals taking this on though I doubt my cheap-ass hack-work will be up to scratch.

I work as a 3D modeler for an architectural firm. I just saw this post and I will take a stab at it today if you have the time to wait - 2billion investment is worth it on both sides.

Its late now, no time to make adjustments. Maybe i have time tomorrow
Isnt that the current model with the current texture, except you added a bump map and some lighting?
He said in his post it's the current model.

Whoops, i thought he meant that was HIS current version.
You can extract the model out with a program someone made... do a search on stuff exporter on the EVE forums.

Hmmm the model is not the problem. For a High quality printing version, the texture/skin is the problem.

I'll be giving it a shot as well, going to remake the model from scratch and try and texture it (we'll see how that turns out. I assume you don't mind if the texture is different in parts? ("course it must look like the original Opux") My modeling skills aren't nearly up to robo's though :)

Hey Voogru, Since I used to be like your #1 Fan on your Natural Selection Server and loved all your cool mods for and stuff like fireworks in day of defeat and what not. Can I just have the 2billion isk since im poor? Hell any large lump sum would be great even.
BTW: Why wont they make Natural Selection 2 bah!
Voogru ftw.

Have you been living under a rock? ;)
Just a start:
http://janvanderweg.com/pics/EVE/render1.jpg
To those using the eve model+texture:
You should chop up the model in 3 parts because the alpha map is used for self illumination, alpha, and reflection depending on the part of the model.

p.s.
I hate gallente ships because they are so cuuuurvy.

Hi, heres my effort, *** WIP ***
I do appologise to CCP for editing their model, but I just had to to have a little play around.
I havent touched the model too much, just exagerated & highlighted the texture shaded areas into physical polys.
Axedups Opus Model
The Texture need re-aligning & I've only got a simple light in atm, so nothing show stopping for the mo..

That one looks the best imo.

Sounds fun. With a few months to tinker I'm in. I do this for a living as well.
BTW for any out there looking for a cheap way to get started modeling check out Wings 3d- its a free program based around an older out of production program named Nendo. Its kind of like modeling in digital clay. Personally I like to model in Nendo and render in a higher end package (mostly lightwave)... As far as I can tell you can't get ahold of Nendo anywhere now so wings3d is your option for a very good cheap modeler.
Have fun!

Not sure my surface modelling skills are as good as some of those here but hopefully I'll pull it back on the texturing

Making a model and texturing it for 2billion.. sounds decent
Giving you the modeling files as if you bought them.. not a chance.

IMO for printing purpose, its more important a good texture then a good model. In the detail printing you have 80% of texturing and 20% of edges (not saying that modeling isn't important, just saying that you will notice much faster a bad texture then you will a bad model).

Looking forwards to seeing the results. Don't have the time to do it myself, but a bit of advice... Its a damn sight easier to work from scratch than from a current model. Take captures of side, front and top and use them as temp. backgrounds to create a blueprint to work from. Working from scratch allows you to create the texture mapping etc without having to constantly tweak the old model map. Plus a new model has a less dampening affect on your imagination.
But thumbsup folks. Keep the work going

That is the program- but good luck buying it from there. check the dates on the site- 1999.... You can try to purchase it if you want, but every time I have sent someone there to buy a copy it doesn't work out. I had one friend even send a money order that was returned. lol. Anywho Wings 3d works the same way and is free.
