Icewolf Mesh Pack 1
Compiled on March 03, 2009 for the Armada community.


---Introduction

Hello, within this pack are various MS3D files for meshes and models that I have created for the Armada games. Some are completed and require only exporting, others are butt naked, or even still in the concept stage. You will need Milkshape 3D or a modeling program that can import .ms3d files to do anything with them.

I am releasing this as a resource for modders old and new alike, and to save some of these models from being forgotten or being deleted all together. Though keep in mind that a lot of what's in here are some of my older bits, dating back to 2004 and 2005. With hope it will bring old modders a bit of inspiration, and new modders a bit of new knowledge.

I leave it up to you, the modder, to decide what to do with the files contained in this pack. Though, please read the usage and credits below before you do anything. A second pack may be released down the road, as well as the source for the texture files if enough people would want it.

---Credits and Usage

All are free to complete, edit, rip, kitbash, or convert the models and files within the pack without seeking permission first, under the condition that credit is given where it is due. You must provide credit to me, Icewolf132, ONLY if you use any part of the original files, in short if you do a redo of one of the units, I won't hunt you down if you don't mention me :P.

This is not limited to the Armada community, if you wish to use anything within this pack for another game or for another purpose, feel free to do so as long as the above condition is met.

Also please note that some of the models have additional credits attached to them for their design, they are as followed;

Ulysses class - Design originally by Taldren (SFC I and II, Klingon Academy)
Yamato class - Design originally by Taldren (SFC I and II, Klingon Academy)
Lyran "Tiger" class cruiser - Design originally by Taldren (SFC I and II, Klingon Academy)

---Contents

--Completed

lca - Lyran "Tiger" class cruiser, one of the first ships I released over at Armadafleetcommand and at Armada2files.

ranger - Ranger class, a Fed TMP scout ship that I did for practice with the intention of release, but never got to it.

reaver - Reaver class, a Fed TMP destroyer, all three versions of it. One version was released at Armadafleetcommand, but the rest were never released.

ulysses - Ulysses class, a Fed TMP Dreadnought. Released at Armada2files, it was originally done for the Twilight mod when it was first starting. There was an older version of this ship that was more true to the original design, but those files have been lost to the digital oblivion.

--unfinished

Microverse Rom - A whole jumble of Romulan stations that were done for the Federation Microverse mod by CaptSyf before it was moved to a custom made engine.

RemanBoP - A Reman Bird of Prey as seen on the Filefront forums, but was soon abandoned due to my inability to make it look any better.

Romulan Hellhawk - When the Reman Hellhawk was being created, I had intended for a Hellhawk pack to be released by that Christmas. Time proved to be to short, so I focused mainly on the Reman Hellhawk, and tucked these away for another time.

borg battle cube - An attempt at a more detailed Borg Cube.

fbase - An attempt at making a Federation base with a repair ability.

fconstIII - A concept for a TNG era Constitution.

fulysses_future - The beginnings of a post Nemesis Ulysses class, if a certain Joel is reading this now, please don't kill me for never finishing it!

fymato - Yamato class TMP Battleship from SFCII, I was building it for the Twilight mod, but plans changed during it's development.

kqultoq - A klingon fighter concept, there was a competed version, but I have no idea where it's at.

rhhawk_Reman_bizare - A failed attempt at making the Reman Hellhawk look more aggressive.

---Final Word
No one sucks at modeling. Never let anyone tell you that. It's something that takes a bit of skill, a bit of luck, and a mountain of practice to do it decently. I have been modeling for Armada off and on since mid 2004, and even I am still learning things after all of that. Give it time, and you'll surprise even yourself down the road.
