ST5 shuttle with crew test

[Lurok91]

Just messing about on bridge hiatus and wondered whether could adapt Blackrook's excellent work on T11 shuttles-with-visible crew to other shuttles.  This is first attempt at STV shuttle. Never modded ship before so mapping has got a bit screwed up     But main problem is can't get closer zoom than in these pics. I thinks it's the LOD problem, where ship 'disappears' if gets too close to camera.  Anyone know a fix?    More a bridge modder but guess this kind of hybrid...

Not a bad start.  But the ships disappearing when at a certain distance from the camera has been the biggest obstacle to shuttle and fighter modeling because why play a game when you can barely see your ship?

So...had to make a 'bigger' shuttle to get these pics (not sure of diff in scale, but prob about 10x bigger)

EDIT: smoothing/mapping fixed

You don't appear to have any smoothing at all.

a change in Scale will desrupt, all the Carrier files , and shuttle bays, that already use the pataciular shuttle.

It was only to take the pics tiq

As for increasing the scale... you can do it ingame if the ships are small and you want a decent screenshot of it.

Just make sure your in test mode and type in

import MissionLib

MissionLib.GetPlayer().SetScale(*)

where the asterisk is, just type in the appropriate number.

Quite so, JB     And thanks for the tip.  Will try...

Mind you, not sure how much interest/demand would be, lol

Bit of ingame footage (fwiw  )

the crew seem a bit small to me, remember, it's the same set as the type 6 shuttle, it needs to be a little more cramped in there.

You're absolutely right    Went back to ST5 (film) and checked. Rescaled figures to size (if standing will be almost ceiling height).  But to make more canon need to move them back a bit (they're closer to side doors than front of shuttle in film).
