Okay, this is not a program, but it looks to be a hassle to get it on subspacedownloads.com right now and I want it to be online because I always lose track of it on my computer.
This file contains a tutorial and templates for Bryce3d/4/5 that makes it very easy to get ship images for SubSpace. Basically you make a model, stick it into a template, tweak things a tad press a button and then you have all the images for rotation and rolling if you want. Maybe sort the frames a bit and you're done.
This was put together by ZigNotZag, a good ole SubSpace ship creator.
I think it's probably the best thing out there for ship making and that it's just been neglected because not so many people know about it.
You need Bryce, but that's what kazaa lite is for. Anonymous - Fri Oct 17, 2003 8:05 pm Post subject:
If people wanna make 3D ship models, Bryce probably shouldn't be their first choice. It's mostly for landscapes.
For 3D models, they can use Lightwave, Truespace, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Softimage|3D and so on. All you gotta do after that is render the spinning ship and put all the small files in a shipX.bm2 file (where "X" is a ship number between 1 and 8)...Make sure you place them right though.

ah, so I guess this file is useless
I guess there's no point in making available a file that makes the creation of the ton of different angles required for rolling images really REALLY easy...[/sarcasm]

i have a programing for combining the 40 images that bryce spits out when you render the animation (using the series of .bmp setting) and it'll combine them into a fromat subspace can use. If you want it email me at vamperz@yahoo.comSuSE - Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:16 pm Post subject:

those other programs are better for creating complex objects, but they are just that....pretty complex.
bryce is by far the easiest to use. and like Suse says. ya got the animation all ready to go.
rotating one ship around 360 degrees is pretty easy. but go ahead and set up the rolls thats the real trick.
btw, i got one of them image splicers too. ya can get it at ssdl's
"shiptiler.zip" in the editors section. just fyi.
its dynamic, and will pretty much assemble anything into a layout of your choosing.( as long as its a bmp, jpg, or gif that is ) hehe
in theory a person that didnt really understand much at all about actually even making 3d ships could make some with my setup.
get bryce, play with it some, add some objects, take some out, render them.
search the web for free 3d files, free DXF files, free 3ds files......
thats the real trick.
