Very nice!

Do you have 3D Studio Max 4 or above? If you do, you can look at Duncan's tutorial at the JA modeling forum, if you don't, or just don't wanna mess with it, I'll be more than happy to do it.

Thank god for starwars.com

When in starfighter mode, the droid carries four blaster cannons in its wings, and two energy torpedo launchers along its forward edge. When transformed into walking mode, the launchers are angled for antipersonnel use.

Too bad you can't make it transform in JA...

I'm know just as much as you does.

This model has WAY too many parts, and tomorrow may never come :confused:

If anyone thinks he can reduce the number of parts, I'll send it to him.

exactly what error are you getting. Because if it's the error i'm thinking of then it's not so much that is has too many parts but it has parts with too many faces/polys/vertices/whatever. If that's it, then you just need to divide the complicated parts in 2 and name them differently so they're treated as seperate parts and not one big complicated part. I had to do this with my awing.

Yeah it would be a shame, so if you really don't think you can get it and if Kharma doesn't mind then send it my way. I'll have a go at it.

No error, but it's impossible to skin it.

Oh ok, well yeah that's a real pain in the ass to write with a lot of parts but i'm not aware of amy limitations on part numbers, maybe you can "attatch parts together in max and rename them to make it simpler" you might have to add an edit mesh modifier to do it so you don't mess up the uvw coordinates. Just a thought.

Mmmh, imyourfather, u could regroup all the not important objects in one group and aply them a metal skin, there are much lines that are not very important, you could regroup then and i'd dont have to remake the model :)

Ok, the model has now about 6 parts instead of +20 (:D ), i've sent it to you tfighter to do the magic touch. If you know how to do the animation of the wings do it plz.

I keep having problems. First of all, a lot of the parts had the same name, I cahnged it. Then there were too many faces, was pretty easy to fix, but now, The images are not in the power of 2, and I really don't know how to change their size without it cousing a problem.

The samename parts are for been put as a group, and what u mean with "The images are not in the power of 2"?

if you want, I could make some specular textures for it, since it is made in 3D studio max. Its really easy for me to do now(thanks to Manquesa's big help), and I could have it back to ya in a day or so.

My email is dmccarthy100@charter.net

just put WIp: Droid Fighter model if you are interested in me doing some spec textures for it. and I will make the .shader file as well so it will be all ready for ya to finish up.
