YV-21 RAPTOR

aaagh
Do they now have moving parts or not?
No, still struggling with it.
Also you might want to delete the old .png and .skin files now that I've rearranged the skin names to prevent conflict.
Nice, thanks for the info :)
New models, yay!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this makes me happy
Keep going, this is great! I know what what it takes to be kept motivated with 3D model...
Awesome work! Can you do the Yukikaze's crafts as well? I can give you the models!
Protip:
Nergal here is the guy who ripped these models, and their textures. He'll probably rip just about everything, unless it's PS2.
And PSX/Saturn. There goes my chance to rip those shmup models sadface.pdf
"I can give you the models! "
No need to, thanks. I already have a PC Yukikaze game that I can rip the models from already.
AND DON'T FORGET XBOX ONE (like the original not the boner)
I have some SHMUP ship model from my friends, but they're in .x files. Can you work with them?
Hopefully. What models anyway?
Well. I have those from Darius (Silver Hawks), RayCrisis (Wave Raiders), RayStorm (R-Gray), Raiden, Thunder Force (RVR series, Vasteel) and one Vic Viper from Gradius, one Souvalou from Xevious.
RaystormyesyesyesYESYESYESYESYESplz.
I already have Darius (from PSP Darius Burst), Raiden (from Raiden III, will upload here soon), almost all R-Type ships (from R-Type Tactics 1 & 2) and in process of making RVR models on my own (using someone else's model as reference), but those stuff you mention are highly appreciated.
You can give me the models first, the textures can come up later (already ripped low-res textures of R-Gray series and RVRs from the emulator but that's as far as I can go).
vicvicvicvicivICVICVICVICIVICIVCIIVIJ SDUFNGBNSRDFIGAJSDI ISDJG AHHHHHHH
YES OMFG FEED HIM WITH YOUR VIPER
*barfs rainbow*
Moreover I can make my own Vic Viper T301 model using some model I got from YSFlight as reference, but might take [i]some[/i] time.
In the process of uploading now. Sorry for the late reply. Internet died yesterday :<
Wait what? You have to rip the texture as well??
DARN IT! I should have ask someone first before ripping a bunch of model and then deleting it's texture!
Of course you need the textures unless if you want to make it your own from scratch.
Thanks for the tip. I might as well start all over again. :<
How do you get those planes models and where you found them?!
