Mass Effect: a new ship for armada 1?

Post by panicattak125 »

Im not sure how well this will go down but i would absoutly love to see the Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect 2.
Now i don't have much (nearly none) modding experiance but I would love it if someone where to create an extreamly good Normandy for ARMADA 1!
I know this is a lot to ask as armada 1 has limitations and most people probaly won't be to intrested in one fans request but if anybody wishes to take up the challange please email me at alig0100@hotmail.com and I will try and help you with as much of it as I can
Thank you very much :D

I personally think that's an awesome idea! I'd like someone to do that just as much as the next person! Mass Effect is a definite epic win, and so is the Normandy! Seeing that in Armada would be so epic! There is one for Bridge Commander (here) and that's in 3ds mode with 3093 polies. Of course, atm their image host seems to be down (probably due to moving to another owner atm) so I can't tell how that particular model came out, so I'm certain that could be converted to an SOD for Armada 1/2.

Does it show up in the Storm 3d viewer tool?

If it doesn't show up using this tool, it wiil tell you that something is amiss with the mopdel or textures.
