3 shp-vox questions

Exley

1. is there a tool that can on easy way (coz i know shit about 3d programs)
that can convert a voxel into shp frames ?

2. can a voxel body (for example tank body) contain shp turret ?
(if possible how ?) Sad

3. has anyone in past ever made a flying rocket projectile for TS ICBM from last missions ?

They didn't. It's a VXL barrel only. (some modder only abused the barrel and used it for a complete turret instead)
And this is understandable since tilting barrels can't be done well with SHPs.

There's A roundabout way to do it in vxl viewer, by making a 360 Animation using eight frames. it might take some playing around with the camera for the proper perspective. and you'll have to make shadows. i did that with my monster truck voxel, link in my sig

Though Voxel Viewer has a hideous lighting and completely ignores turretoffset, voxel-scaling via bounds etc.

Then it would be better to
-create a plain purple colored terrain tile
-place on a test map that purple tile
-make selection box invisible
-place the unit on the testmap
-select it ingame and let it move. use f to follow the selected unit, so it stays in screen center
-then do screenshots while the unit moves
-cut out the unit from the screenshots (the purple ground will help to separate unit from shadow and background)

Eyup, but due to limited normals, people who truly care could not accept that result - face it, even you'd be among them, LKO, wouldn't you?

Besides at mechs/etc ShadowIndex's limit would be notorious. I'm still doing my research tho.

OTOH yea, it'd be still better than VV 360s.
