I love doing 3d lego modeling a lot of space ships have accumulated on my computer which are easily convertible to orbiter 2016 but unfortunately I'm currently busy with another project I think it would be interesting
the process of creating a lego mesh
1) program LeoCAD it creates an object from the constructor
2) download the old version blender-2.81a
3) ImportLDrawblender addon
4) import the model into the old blender and save for a new blender
5) open in a new blender Orbiter Mesh Tools for Blender 2.81
model ready for orbiter
If i was to replace the micro textures in the 3D9 which one would I edit for the normal map to look like legos? : for a brother who likes legos, actually the waves in lego normal map looks kinda cool!
Maybe the most fun part will be finding lego sets that resemble the ship enough to replace it and/or making my own! also, should I open another thread for dev and if so how would I do that?
Well I don't know about anyone else, but when I saw the first pic in the thread, I was instantly transported back in time to my childhood and all the space sets I had or wanted.
