I used Sketch up from Google to create this model From Wing Commander Prophecy.
This is a work in Progress.
I was wondering if Sketch Up had any ability to create textures.
Honestly I don't know the first thing about Textures in Sketch up or any where else.
I plan on moving to Lightwave.

looks gorn...

I havent played Wing Commander Prophecy yet, but seeing this makes me want to. This thing looks SWEET.

This is what It looks like textured...

make th4e front part green and it would double as a gorn ship

She'd be a Huge Gorn ship. Midway is 1,800 meters long.
That's longer than a Star Destroyer.
I plotted this out in Auto CAD and used the figures from the orthographic that I created from the ingame pictures to do this in Sketch Up. I'm happy with the results and Sketch Up is amazingly easy but I still know little about texturing. I aslo would like to convert this. Does any know a free 3D converter or a cheap converter?
-
well the gorn do use large ships...
i would love to retext this into a nice sized gorn BB

Well I'll finish it up in the model area.

Nice job! I'm impressed with Sketchup's ability to create detailed models in such a quick amount of time.

Some minor touches to finish the model.
I'm trying not to ...is it (greeble)? So the textures can do the job.
The launch Tubes are in.
Simple Engines.
I moved the Central Bar between the Booms back a bit more.
I'm wondering if the turrets are absolutely necessary.
When I have time I'll Design the Primary Ship Killer Weapon from the Knathrack Leviathan.
I don't know how I'm going to do that...It's all crystal poly shapes...and I've never done anything like that before.

looks great! damn i wanna know the weapons of this!

Milkshape 3d is a converter with a trial period, and pretty cheap.
Lightwave is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it does seem to be a little underequipped for videogames. If you get ahold of Milkshape it becomes very nice (Even if you have to simulate chamfering). I haven't seen RC for a while so I guess currently I'm the only one who actually uses/prefers LW9 to Max/Maya. If I can ever help out just gimmie a shout. :)
Wing Commander ftw, just by the way. :funny

I've always loved the Midway. I'm glad that she's coming to Bridge Commander. You know, I think we need more WC ships for BC instead of just the TCS Vesuvius, the Excalibur and Thunderbolt. ( http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Wing_Commander_Ship_Pack;62370 )
Do you think that you'll model her fighters aswell? And have you thought about modeling more WC ships and perhabs the Midway with the captured super weapon?

Unfortunately I only have the modeler abilities (and basic abilities at that)
HOWEREVER. I figure If I posted it maybe someone else will be motivated to texture and script the design.
I'll be attempting learn how to texture my own ships in time.
I will be making the Ship Killer Weapon too. Butt I'll have to design it. It's a pretty complicated piece of glass.
I have done 1-1/2 Fighters for Wing Commander.
I've already Done the Wasp. It was the easiest and actually my first model in Sketch Up. Here are a few Pictures of it.

I also plotted out the Vampire Advanced Fighter in CAD for the future when I'm ready for those curves.

I think I initially tried Milkshape. I think I'll download it for the converter. Sounds good.
Thank You for the help and the generous offer.
