Seeking more Secret Ops/Vision Engine ships

I'm hoping to find more ships to play with, in the IFF/MESH format used in Secret Ops.

I'm still learning to model and I've pretty much exhausted playing around with the Standoff, Unknown Enemy, Prophecy and Secret Ops ships. I found some nice models on this very site:

https://www.wcnews.com/ships.shtml

But now I'm looking for more, does anybody have any to share? I don't mind fan-made, it's all a learning curve for me.

Thanks.

the files in there by Mario Brito are by HCL, who made a converter to convert armada/3/4 ships into the vision engine, if you're interested in that then have a look at his site (hcl.solsector.net) - i believe it's in the archives, if not i think i have an old copy somewhere. Otherwise, there was a babylon 5 TC way back, not sure where it went but a bit of rootling around may find it :)
 
Thanks both.

I can't see it, but I'm at work so only had a quick look. Yeah, I'd love to get my hands on this to include the Razor in my forthcoming Standoff mission release.

You'll find a few more ships on Killerwave's website. But then again, you probably already knew that one...

Yeah I did see those, but curiously enough, none of his ships seem to work in Standoff. Haven't tried them in SOPS, but it's Standoff I'm tinkering with ;) They always cause the game to hang, or dump me back into Windows when I start a mission involving them. Possibly a resolution issue.
 
Why not get some help from other modders? JasonRocZ seems to have ship modelling and conversion well under control, I bet he could help you convert some existing ships into the game.
 
Yea I don't have a problem converting ships, just let me know what u want done and I'll see what I can do
 
I love the WC community :D

Jason - if you'd be so kind as to help, I'm hoping to get the WC4 Razor Mesh/Mat/Ship in Secret Ops format, and if possible, the Confed Thunderbolt from the same game. I don't mind if you'd rather just give me a few pointers, bare in mind how novice I am :)
 
@ danr: hey if you plan to do the razor with the original wc4 specifications ( weapons, missiles etc.) I would appreciate it, if you are willing to share the model, since I am working on a campaign wit the mission builder :)
 
The Thunderbolt shouldn't be a problem. For the Razor I have the model but could any of you find me a good picture or texture file for it so that I may implement it?
 
Jason, thanks very much for your help. Will the images that Triple-B posted above be any good for the textures? If not, I'll get some some more detailed angle shots.

Triple-B: Yes of course, I'll apply the loadout/ypr/armour/shields/speed data to the model - only thing I can forsee being a problem is that the Razor weapons layout includes 2 Ion guns (which don't feature in Standoff) - so these might have to be replaced with neutrons instead.
 
okay :)

@ jason: I hope the pics are good enough for you and btw how about using the razor in wccd occassionaly?
 
I've got no progress....I'm working on a few other things at the moment...I had to reformat the harddrive recently and am doing a lil housekeeping (so to speak) on the Collateral Damage project files it is enormous at the moment because I back stuff up like crazy these days. I'll get to it at some point (I think)
