Nergal's Coversion & WIP Models Thread - Vector Thrust

My work on converting models from other games so far:

Finished models, only need to figure the engine/hardpoint/wingtip vapor positions, animations and further .ini edit

Rebel Raiders
Unnamed grunt plane 1
Grunt plane 2(called A/F-10 in-game)
F-6E White Shark
YV-21 Raptor

Jet Impulse
AZX-02 Firelizard
AZX-03 Machaira
YZR-04 Stormlizard (disregard the plane name, still hasn't touched the .ini yet)
ZSR-16 Caliburne

Broken Thunder
RVR-03G1 Bracer
RVR-03G2 Broken Thunder
Fire Leo 05VC Syrex
Boss 2 (ArcAngel .Rev)
Generic mook 2

Others/Various shmups
Raiden Mk-II/Fighting Thunder ME-02 from Raiden III
Raiden Mk-II Powered from Raiden III
R-9A Arrowhead from R-Type Command

Ace Combat Joint Assault
GAF-1 Varolac

WIP models/still figuring how to fix the problematic UV mapping
MB-417 Loki from Jet Impulse (notice the missing texture on left canard and aileron)

About the GAF-1 Varolac can you try to play it with the incubator build that has the special log?
Send me the last lines and I’ll be able to tell what is wrong

Well, the last line is the same as this error message I got during the crash. Maybe it's because the model has high polycount (about more than 1000 polys)?

And TS, what unit do you use for the positioning parts in the aircraft .ini? I use standard meter but it doesn't seem to be accurate.

Can you show me the lines before that? But I don’t think it is the poly count, most VT models are around 5000 triangles
I also use meters but you should use “.” Instead of “,” for the decimals
If you write 0,346 it will read as 0

The last 2 lines implied that there's a problem during generating LOD models

16:45:46: Auto Gen Lod
16:45:46: Generating 5 lower LODs for mesh gaf-1.mesh

Here's my full log anyway (using the logger build)
Dropbox.com

Humm. Maybe it has to do with the way it was exported. But I’ll add a way to recover from this exception in case it is not able to generate the lods

done, I think you will be able to play with this model in the next version

Hey TS, maybe you can take a look at how Ogre handling the texture mapping as well? Those models with "problematic" skin actually looked fine when rendered on 3DS Max/Blender.

Also, I just found that the Varolac model have some open edges. Maybe that's what caused the crash before?

update: still didn't work

Looks like I stumbled into another ploblem, I courn I've did the UVW mapping correctly that it looked fine in the viewport/render.
Nevermind, apparently I placed the wrong texture. Stupid me.

update 2: Exporting the model to .3ds first fixed the damn mapping problem. Wheee.

I forgot to ask you, does the GAF-1 Varolac works in the newest incubator version? (0.9109)

Yeah, it works now.
