yes, it is.

...

and now, u want to know, how to do it!?

as far as I know, u cannot turn prefabs into entities, you'd rather have to build those pieces in 3DMax, Maya, Milkshape or similar. But I personally never succeeded in making something pretty and gave up.

well,its not that hard.there are tuts on how 2 make stuff on programs like these.in 3dsmax the help tab tells u how 2 make alot of stuff,i kept trying 2 make a spaceship with alot of flat surfaces which they told u how 2 do,but somehow after following all steps i got a magnificent streamlined shuttle

.that was like a year ago,and until now i dont know what 2 do with it

well, i just tried milkshape, because 3dmax is very expensive and i couldn't find a version i could 'borrow'. Or it's rather my brains

maybe tltrude wants to use your spaceship... he seems to do a SiFi map!?

id be happy 2 contribute it,but its unskinned cause i failed 2 skin it ,and i didnt even find a suitable skin.the 3dsmax version i made the shuttle with wasnt exacly ...eerr **cough**legal **cough** but im not supposed 2 talk about how i borrow things like these on these forums

cause ill get my ass kicked by an admin

edit:it could fit as a jet fighter with a few alterations 2 the body and a change in the engine and ......

p.s.:imo milkshape is veryhard 2 use in comparison with 3dstudio.maybe i say this cause i used 3dstudio 1st but i felt paralized once i tried milkshape.

this makes feel a little better, maybe I'll try Maya, there ought to be a LE version somewhere around... mmm where was it... Any info about exporting Maya stuff to MOHAA entity format? this was the only thing where milkshape was quite easy...

dunno bout maya but if there isnt a way 2 export directly 2 mohaa,maybe export 2 milkshape then 2 mohaa
