Why can't you do brk.mods?

[Rod ONeal]

Ah. Sorry, I thought maybe you were using Milkshape and was going to suggest trying Gmax.

to do a brk.mod all you actually do is:
Take the ship apart Chuunks at a time.
 You select a piece then Detach them from the ship. I believe you can have multiple Detachments.

I barely know how to use studio max. I can kitbash just about

I saw a video out that showed how to do break mods in studio max, but can't for the life of me remember where it was.

from what i remember about BRK mods is the you chunk out the pieces of the ship and cap the open bits with a damaged looking texture and set up some pivot points (dummy objects similar to the HP objects) so the pieces fall apart. i may be willing to help out some, i have a little extra time now that things have settled down on the home front.

Ok, this is what I do for break models (I don't make them either). I copy the un-broke model, apply the damage texture, I beat up the model and twist it all up, and then add the glow with the SFC3 glow tool. I make the glow HUGE! Then I go into the, I think the textures file, and replace the glow boring glow texture with an explosion texture. That is what I did with my Terra Prime mod. It makes for some pretty impressive explosions:

that one might be the one I seen, was it of a fed CA class ship?  Also, where might we find it again, if possible.

I dont think it shows caping holes and apply damage textures to the new polys. If i remember right this was for sfc2 where the brk up was to fast to see any damage.

I think SFCII does it's own capping and applies a generic texture to the open areas (it has always looked the same to me).

nope it don't, all that stuffs you see was done cause the modeler had to much time on there hands

I will help in any way I can, including joining Outlance if that is what is needed. I'm pretty close to retiring now, so I can do what I want

[Raven Night]

My apologies, perhaps we should chat in PM. When I sign in to messenger I get raped.

I hope that doesn't become a new MSN commercial!!!
