HOMEWORLD SHIP BUILDING

Overview

Those of you that don't know that HomeWorld is a video game made by Relic, then you might be in the wrong place. For those of you that do know about HomeWorld, and want to find out how to create a ship and add it into the gameplay, welcome aboard!

The first thing you need to know is what tools are going to be needed, so here's a handy little list:

LightWave Photoshop MilkShape BigViewer Explore 3D LIF Convert MEX Editor

Just a note about some of these programs.
I use LightWave, so that's what I will be talking about, but there are other, very capable 3D programs out there. You can even model in MilkShape :)

I use Photoshop here because the .PSD format will let you make textures that will respond to armada colors.

If you're going to make more than one model go BUY MilkShape. It's cheap, it's indispensable, and it's good to support the little guy. Did I mention that it's cheap?



Well, that being covered, let's move on to the NEXT STEP.
