Jamie, I just checked out your upload. Real nice maps and meshes, not
to mention tips.
I was curious about one thing. In the UFO.prj, in Video post, you
have the stars process entered 3 times in a row. Why is this?
Jeff Alu
Okay the reason why I have the stars enter 3 times, well first I think
the first should be stars.ixp, and the rest stars2.ixp, becuase to get the
multilayed stars look, while the camera is moving so will the stars. plus if
you noticed not all stars in the sky are the same brightness so some are set to
5-100 and 100-200 brightness. Kinda COnfusing but it gives a really good
effect, Theres gunna be a better pack comming soon…
PMJI but, I'm just trying to understand this. Aren't the stars in STARS.IXP
based on a real star database and being such positioned exactly in the same
place? Wouldn't that be the case that every instance of STAR.IXP would place
the same stars in the same place?
Well, I thought the same thing, and I render sperate one at a time, and
they dont do it in the same place but actually random each one…

Maybe I'm not very good at this (new to CiS) but how can I get that file you
uploaded? I can't find it in the file library for 3DS…
Jim
Okay Jim, it should be in the Whats New area or the 3D-STUDIO area in
the libraries, its called, mgtnt1.zip.
