Well for Bothan and wookie I would take the basic ships of the rebels and give it a different color.
Im doing it for a part for the mandalorians.

Have to test ingame what the effect is.

The chiss ar also on my list Ill need some time to make the unit sprites.

[Capshades]

Well I've got some Mandalorian ship images that I haven't gotten to trimming yet
Kandosii-type dreadnaught

Kyramud-type battleship


They're from the Sith-Republic wars though...and top views are a bit boring...

[kbobbato]

Wow very impressive Cap...where do you get these images from? I am looking for more top down images for warhammer...but most are not that impressive...on top of the ones you already collected..

[Capshades]

My first post was just images I collected from around these forums...I've actually deleted most of those now because of their poor quality.

I then found various artist including Unusualsuspex and Fractualsponge who show off their 3D models with multi-perspective screens.

Most recently I figured out how to change the camera angle in one of my favorite games, Star Wars: Empire at War, as well as how to turn off shadows in Sins of a Solar Empire. The former has hundreds of mods, and the latter has three notable SW mods, so there are potentially thousands of ship images I can get. I use FRAPS to get clean screenshots and windows paint to orient, quick-crop (as seen above,) and convert to PNG. Finally, I use the manual cropping tool in GIMP to get the ship by itself. It takes about 10-15 min total per large ship since I like keeping a lot of detail, so it's extremely labor intensive.

If anyone has a bunch of free time and feels like cropping a crap ton of ships, let me know.

...but to actually answer your question, WH40K ships are hard to get. I know there are a couple mods out there for space RTS's that you could try. Otherwise I'm sure Mensrea/Japhet would be ok with you using their ships as long as you gave them credit.

[kbobbato]

Yeah Japhet has done some great work...but Mensrea is MIA still...so I will wait to get his written permission...I have the Tau just about completed...and working on various other parts of my mod...

ORIGINAL: Capshades
My favorite games, Star Wars: Empire at War,

For some time im using the alo viewer to have some nice models.
Check it out

[Capshades]

Could you link it please? The only working one I found just loaded the model, not the shaders/textures or whatever. Bright green texture-less ships don't look very good lol

[BlackSoulReaper]

How is this mod? Is there anymore work being done to it? Is there a need for more help with getting it off the ground. Really interested in a star wars universe.

[BlackSoulReaper]

Very awesome. Im starting to play with it now. Is there a way to make the empires in the game only use the star wars ships? I also want to see if I can add in a Jedi Order faction.

[Japhet]

Well, you would have to replace every ship/star base pic in the foulders with an image of an actual star wars ship.

[BlackSoulReaper]

Doing that now. Just changing the design. Maybe slowly turn them into star wars races when I have more time.

[Maponus]

Permission to use the races in this mod for my crossover mod?

[Radiance89]

Can't wait the next improvement for this mod, thanks 2guncohen !
