I resent that accusation, i was simple admiring your wonderfull avatar, i wonder if CCP would somehow allow me to produce a 3d card model of your head and possibly body with led eye lights

Hey great job.

I've been thinking about getting into this for quite some time now. Mainly due to all the people who have posted their papercraft EVE creations.

Since I do a lot of 3d work, I figure I could do my own templates.




its quite easy, ill help you if u wish...now if i could only find a way of getting my hands on the new Venture model and skin...


I'll see if it can be pulled with triexporter later this evening.

I have all the other models in the game pulled from when I was converting them all to the Unreal Engine. Was before I lost the drive most of them were on. :(

In any sense, I haven't used triexporter in awhile and I've heard of various issues people have been having when pulling stuff out of the newer EVE builds. Might not be a problem though, and will know later on when I check. :)

Build a Caldari ship with paper, then build a Minmatar ship with the leftover scraps. Then build a Gallente ship with the leftover tape.

As I see this, I recall how only last night I was in a craft store with my wife, looking at models...telling her that I wish that there were EVE model kits and how I would build them all, if only they existed...

...*ahem* IF ONLY THEY EXISTED!!!


But this, this!!! This is more creative than what I was thinking, and would totally do this. Perhaps you could make some build guides? I would like that...especially a Thanatos or a Nyx. <3

I would be very interested in getting a copy of the files you used.

Looks like a really amazing model. I had tried to use tri exporter to try and get the model of the orca and Hulk/Mack out a while ago but couldn't get tri exporter to work on my computer.

How much does your model weigh? Do you think there could be any chance of getting a orca model to float if made with light enough materials and filled with helium. . I want to try to do something like this but with an orca model.

I can only imagine the difficulties you would face in this!! A ship with a curved flowing surface (think provi) would work much better for that kinda project IMO

However i would also like to get hold of the files used to make this, or an idea of how to make my own version for different ships

Not easy...the central longitudinal structure has a wooden dowel running its beam to keep it from flexing. I also reinforced areas with cardboard for strength. All in all bout 1 to 2 lbs. Its made from 120 wt. Cardsrock. I don't think shell ever fly short of a few rocket motors... would be a fun idea... I wanted to mail it to someone but its to dam big. Anyhow...anyone wanting files eve mail me your email adrh and ill shoot you my files.

I want to make the new DD's. But my primary problem is I can't manipulate the skin files. I need them all combined into one Jpeg or PNG with the lights visible... soothing that's above my skill level. If there's a kind and knowledgeable person out there who's willing to assist me ill compensate with a ship for you...
