Idea Mercury and Gemini add-on improvements

[Donamy]

why don't you merge every thing that is to be animated to one group ?

 

[MJR]

I did merge it, but it still made me sort through separate meshes. Can you second look it?

Here is the 71 meter correct translation.

Wheres the mesh?

 

[Donamy]

I'll zip it in one moment

 

[Donamy]

new LC-14 mesh

 

[MJR]

Thanks. Now the textures need to be re-applied and then it is done.

For some reason the meshes are misplaced on mine and I am missing some parts.

Is there any way I can go back to the original mesh in Anim8or and group the gantry as a single mesh? If so, how do I do it?

 

[Donamy]

Sorry, don't use A8. I did that in about 2 sec with AC3D, but I understand some people don't want to spend the money for it.

 

[MJR]

How much is it? Anyway, would you mind doing that with the original K-LC-14 mesh. I made it as a separate mesh which was a bad idea.

Did you make the Shuttle mesh?

 

[Donamy]

It's about $70 US.

I could try, but I don't want to join any groups that shouldn't be joined, I don't know much about those launch pads.

Thats kind of expensive, but I'll see. I don't think it should be that hard to group the gantry, but I may be wrong.

 

[Donamy]

I just grabbed every thing of the left tower and merged them. Was that ok ?

 

[MJR]

Yeah. Thank you for the help. I guess Anim8or has its limits so I'll probably get AC3D. Is it hard to use?

 

[Donamy]

No, very easy ! And the big plus is a sweet Orbiter plugin is available.

 

[MJR]

Cool.

 

[Star Voyager]

How are the textures coming along?

 

[MJR]

Still haven't got to that.

 

[Star Voyager]

Alright, just wondering...

 

[Saturn V]

MJR,

Just got home from work & haven't had a chance to read through everything yet.

PM me with what you've got done (explaination of what was done would be a + too). Either I'll retexture it or I'll forward the BMPs.

Thanks...
