- I know this is a bit off the mark for this newsgroup, but I thought
- folks who use SGI machines might be a good source of info on where
- to find some polygonal model data.
-
- I'm looking for some accurate models of various Star Wars spacecraft,
- including Tie figheters, X wings, and a Star Destroyer. Any other models
- would be great, too.
-
- Does anyone know where I can get ahold of these models without making them
- myself? I'd prefer the raw data in some type of ASCII format, containing
- vertices, connections, and polygon definitions. The simpler format the
- better (I have to convert these models to run on an Evans and Sutherland
- CT6 Image Generator).
-
- Why do I need these? Well, we are putting the finishing touches on a
- large 6 degree of freedom hydraulic motion base in our simulation bay
- (at the Iowa Driving Simulator), and I thought it would be a great test
- (and a hell of alot of fun) to fly an X wing against a swarm of Tie
- fighters while trying to take out a star destroyer. Lots of swooping
- manouevers and laser explosions to rock the motion base around a bit.
-
- If you know of any data which I could use, please let me know via e-mail
- at booth@ccad.uiowa.edu. If anyone else wants to know, let me know
- and I'll post any findings here.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Mike
