That, is so very pretty. I want to spec up a ship just so we can use it. Energy line is overpowered but could do with a lighter ship class, I think. Hmm...

Looks like Marcel set up the repo with PRs disabled or something like that, so pls post source files here.

Or we enable PRs on the assets repo - Marcel, is there a specific reason why you disabled PRs on the assets repo?

PRs are not disabled (you can't disable them without third party software), it's just a policy I would like to enforce. This is because most asset files are not merge-able and I would like to prevent any issues (and social drama) by choosing 'the best version' from multiple PRs in case there is a merge conflict.

Ah, I see, makes sense. However, in cases like this I think we could/should make an exception. So I'd suggest to slightly adjust this policy to something along these lines: "PRs to this repo are rejected by default. Please only open a PR if specifically asked to." Would that be ok?

Yes, I changed that according to your suggestion.

Clara.io doesn't let me see it even though I created an account (matgb there as well as here if you're able to grant access), but I really want to implement a ship based around that art, a moderately sized frigate that's required before you can get to the overpowered stuff would help balance them a bit anyway.

Can you make the art into both a standard icon for the production window and a design panel version? (I really suck at art manipulation, I just don't do visuals very well).

I'm thinking either 3 or 4 external slots, one internal slot, moderate structure and a cost somewhere around the robotic hull, probably just above it, faster but with no self repair would be balanced enough I think.

I'm just learning Clara.IO, so bare with me a bit:

Try this link:
https://clara.io/view/b860deac-3282-4bf ... 2d25b656bd


The export is too large to post (at least the OBJ one is). Any preference on export type?

Option available to me for exporting:
Collada
OBJ
FBX
ThreeJS Scene
Clara Archive

No need to post it here, please create a pull request for our freeorion-assets repo on github.

Actually Blender, as that's by far the best free open-source 3D modeler/renderer out there (AFAIK), but from the list you provided:
Option available to me for exporting:
Collada
OBJ
FBX
ThreeJS Scene
Clara Archive
...Collada, OBJ (I assume that's Wavefront .obj files?) and FBX (I assume that's Autodesk FBX files?) will do, Blender claims to be able to import all these.

Still learning github; it's a bit different. Try #2.
https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion-assets/pull/1

There's no 3-D folder under default\data (that I know of), so I just guessed. If there is a preference for models, let me know.


My re-import into Clara.IO didn't have any textures... if it works for someone else, I'd be surprised. Looking into it...
