    It's still a work in progress but finally i'm getting close to finishing making my first PA unit.. "The Wedge"
    Some kind of fighter, maybe an orbital one ..
    Trying to keep the poly count as low as i possibly can so it's fairly simple.

    Improvements made, still aiming to move the sidearms in closer to the body.
    Maybe return to having a sharper nose to the front of the craft

    Adding bonework next so it will work in PA.

    Is that program you're using free? Or expensive.

    SketchUp is... somewhat limited in functionality.

    Is it just me or does that look just like an A-wing? Looking good!

    I use 3Ds Max 9 to make the base models,
    I'm more used to its layout and controls.
    I also use Blender because it has the PAPA import/export thing raevn made (Wich i still need to work out how to use to export a model mine keep failing).


    I got myself to here, but i can't get it to load in game..
    I have tried it in FBX format too, game loads model but it's invisible in game so i have miffed something up somewhere..

    Does the Lego program allow exports to other formats that could be converted to PA format? If so someone could reskin all the units in a lego style ;-)

    Would they shatter into their constituent bricks on death?

    That would be something to see! Smashing a planet with your asteroid and watching both of them explode into clouds of bricks!

    just make lego skinned units as a mod and have the sparks in explosions changed to flying lego bricks and have some scattered lego as debris :)

    10/10, would create MANY smurf accounts to "like" the mod thread releasing a lego conversion.
