Oh my gods! It's the most gorgeous view I had since along time! Can't wait to play with those armored monsters!

In this mod America obtained the alien tech later than England or Germany but they've got some nasty surprises for the invaders... tough I'm still searching for good concept ships... I'm afraid that, unfortunately, the Yankee fleet will stay in yard for a little more time.

Oh... that is only a remnant from sample mod 2 the tutorial mod I'm using for Invasion, I think is called Sample destroy hull, nothing special, it was just an example on how you can change commands in nexus.

Thanks... Yeah, it is not immediate, I don't remember exacttly how but I think I made a normal cone then I stretched it along the blue axis using the scale tool or something similar...

Hi, finally I've got enough material to rig up a first beta of Invasion, there are some things left to be done and a cannot give you a ETA but it is not gonna take too much I think, for now I've got some images of the Azari ships I've brought ingame and two short videos.

Please, say that the new release isn't very far cause I cannot wait anymore! The CGI sequence must be a joy for the eyes!

XD

Hi, guys.
Along with some complements of the human fleets and the Savoia battleship ingame shot i'm bringing to you the first alien ships, I think i'll release a pre beta when i'll bring something of them ingame, but i'm afraid it will take a considerable amount of time...

Always liked unusual things! Keep it up!

WOW! This Beast is amazing!

WOW This is literally amazing!

Really cool project, can't wait to see the implementation!

Yeah, they already can rotate, the Nexus engine automatically rotates the turrets and the barrels to aim at the target!
Anyway, great avatar Madman :)

Hi, and thanks for the comments, other models I made. The battleship ones are from my Nexus mod Invasion, there are others on the mod page if someone is interested.

Hi to evryone! I've just posted two of my recent 'creations', I always loved dieselpunkish war machines and maybe i'll use them in a project... maybe using the Spring engine... Anyway, how do they look like? P.S. The screens in the gallery are fantastic!

Yeah, an atomic and automatic explosive device that triggers by proximity, but I repeat is only a project.

Essentially I want to make a stealth cruiser by adding a cloacking device to the ship, like a class peculiarity... but yes bus in space is a strange idea!

No, fortunately I'm not that mad, these are rocket engines, the model must be modified, for now is a wip!

I guys, finally I've got something more to show you, some ingame ''turreted'' models, fighters and so on...
Like always if you have suggestions, hints or something else make me know... No alien ships for now but the concepts are ready and so I've only to start modelling them... when I find the courage.

Salve a tutti e grazie per l'invito!

Tutorial uploaded and waiting for authorization-

I'm trying to write a tutorial from Sketchup to Lightwave I'll upload it as a file as soon as possible

Hi dizas,
yes you're right I created all the models with sketchup Pro,
after the creation of the mesh I use the sketchup's 3ds exporter to obtain a .3ds mesh that can be opened with Lightwave 3d.
The only problem is that the exporter ''triangulates'' the models and so I have to manually clean them after the conversion, it is a long and boring work but it is necessary because sketchup is the simpler and fastest program I found!

From Lightwave to the game is simple
Hope it helped!

mmmh, you're right, I forgot it. Probably I'll change that radiation mark with a more suitable thing, or even I'll remove it... and I'll give atomic engines to more 'modern' ships like the Bismark or the upcoming Savoia italian battleship.

Hi, another small update, I am using a sample mod i found on the internet as a base for Invasion I will change prbably everything on it.

Thank you guys, now 3 or 4 more ships, some hardpoints and the first beta is done :)
yeah... if only was that simple...

Hi, I've finally managed to give a beta texture to one of the models, it took me two months because it was my first attempt to make a custom texture. I hope the next ones will take less time...
So... what do you think about it?

I was using a rectangular texture, I've sqared it and now it looks perfect (relatively). Thanks to anyone who helped! I will upload soon a fully textured model, I hope...

Hi, I've got an another problem, sigh, as you can see I've finally managed to create the first texture but even if in lightwave seems to work decently when I convert the model I get always the same thing. The texture is put on place by an uv map and I've resized the map to fit the texture's shape. Please let me know if someone knows the solution or a related forum.

Yeah, the mod is still alive and I found a decent way to texture the models but it is going to take a while I think but maybe i'll post something soon...
