That's really cool! I'll try to get the rest of the Rebel outfits finished sometime this week if I have the time, then that should just about be everything related to the character models.  I also quickly want to mention that the link you posted on there to Hera's jacket (theleathercity.com) is a scam site; they don't actually sell the jacket, they just steal your credit card information. Most of the Facebook advertisers (I assume that's where you found it?) are scam sites unfortunately. |

Hey there! Thank you for models. Do you have any idea in which archive i can find Executioner armor model?  |

Hey there! Thank you for models. Do you have any idea in which archive i can find Executioner armor model? I'm now positive, I'll have to check. Unfortunately the armor names in the game files are not the same as their names in the game itself. EDIT: It is the "Inquisitor" bundle in my archive. |

Here's it is: Imperial_SD_Mission_Briefing_Room_Package• Some of the SooG meshes are the same as SD Hangar, so I didn't include them in this package. If you really want them, then you can go grab them from that previous share. • Yes, I am aware that there is a chair magically floating below the briefing room pit. No, it's not a mistake ... or at least it's not my mistake. It's exactly where the blueprint said it should be. Feel free to delete or relocate it as you see fit. Free chair!   How exactly did you get the Blueprint transformation data? I cant find it in the blueprints. |

How exactly did you get the Blueprint transformation data? I cant find it in the blueprints. Component transforms can usually be found in the SpatialPrefabBluprint assets. If you know of a mesh that's included in an assembly in which you're interested, you can sometimes use the “reference” tab in the info window at the bottom of Frosty to trace back to the blueprint or blueprints that include the transform data. One thing to note is that Frosty automatically converts the rotations to Euler angles, which aren't always easier to use. If you want the original 4x3 transform matrix, you have to dump all of the EBX files as XML, and then find the one related to your blueprint. |

Thanks!
Are the astromech droids new models, or are they just repurposed battlefront 2 models?

I'm not sure, I'll have to take a look at them later. |

Alright so I checked and the astromech mesh is the same as Battlefront 2, just slightly lower-poly. Some of the textures are new though, and are higher resolution (some are lower resolution). For rendering it'd probably be best to use the BF mesh with the Squadrons textures. I'll upload the SWS droids soon. |

Does anyone have the Esseles listening post seen here? Not that I know of. I started looking into assembling it, but there are a few areas for which I couldn't find any component transform data. |

Hey all. So I'm trying to match up the tie fighter wing meshes but cant quite get it. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? Attachments:

Alternatively you can also remove UV1 and apply all textures including the "fixed" normal map to the second UV channel. |

Hello everyone! Sorry I ask a stupid question, but I found some skyboxes from the game. I would like to use them in Blender. But it's only circles. How can I use it as environment texture in Blender? Attachments:

In Blender you have two choices... 1.Add to the world settings as a Mirror Ball in the environment texture node...and mix with an emissive shader with a value of 1...also better to add mapping and texture coordinates ... Coordinates as generated...and with this since it is only a half sphere image...change the mapping of the Y-axis to -5 ...it is a nasty texture to use BTW... 2. add a sphere to enclose you scene delete the lower half...make sure to Unwrap the top to fill the texture UV space and add it via a regular material...Basically just add this as a texture image and run it through an emissive shader...set Texture coordinates to UV...works better in this way rather than as an HDRI … as the shapes are more refined and not blurred out as in the HDRI |

View AttachmentSince the original is blurry that's about the best you can hope for....You could run it through Gimp or PS and sharpen it up a bit... also re-mapping to a higher resolution will also improve it. Of course, you could always make up your own that is sharper...  |

Here's the fully assembled Imperial Arquitens-class cruiser, including all of the extra Squadrons-specific turrets: Imperial_Cruiser_Package.rarI swapped UV channels and re-baked normal/paneltile textures as needed. Many are the same as SWBF2(2017), but I re-baked them anyway as my technique has improved since then.  |

as much as i appreciate this (i'd rather have the clonewars corvette, lol), you gotta work on your download size. 1.2 gigs for this is not okay, imho. i'm pretty sure there's potential to squish it smaller. tech note: i know you rebake normals for programs that don't have multiple uv sets, but... come on... those guys gotta upgrade. seriously. these days, 2 or even 3 uv channels are standard. and binary fbx files a common commodity. |

It's not a matter of upgrading. Cinema 4D for example which is an excellent 3D modelling platform, does not support multiple UV's. 1GB for a model of this fidelity is not big at all, it's actually quite reasonably-sized. |

It's not even the model that's large; it's the very high-resolution textures. Some of them are 8192x8192, and most are 4096x4096, so you should expect some rather large file sizes. Plus everything is basically doubled-up by the inclusion of the Straight Out of Game folder. |

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the wings on the TIE Advanced V1 as-extracted were a bit misaligned, so I straightened them up. I also move their bones from 0,0,0 to the approximate centerline of the hinge so that they can be more easily rotated/folded into the landed configuration. Quick question: When the wings are folded in the landing configuration as shown, how do the inquisitors open the top hatch? Link: TIE_Advanced_V1_Package.rar
