This may be the wrong forum for this, but the general chat seems to get more traffic than the mods section, and I need a lot of help.
What I've been trying to do is create a new Secret Ops mod around a new carrier. Now I've got a four chapter prelude outlined. This covers the ship's existence, sets up some of the main characters, and establishes peripheral events that have a bearing later in the story. I have two chapters actually written and four 3D fighter models finished, to almost finished.
The problem I'm having is that I have no artistic talent when it comes to creating textures for the fighters, and I'm not even sure I'm doing it right! I haven't gotten to a point where I can actually import the fighters, mainly because I'm stuck on the textures and they look like crap. However, IMHO, the models look pretty good.
I can create the basic mesh but I can't do a very good job on the textures
So I'm kind of looking to recruit help or see if everybody thinks I should just turn it into to a fanfic project, because the way the chapters currently stand that wouldn't be too difficult.
If you can help out, with a mod, I'm even open to new fighter designs for Confed, pirates, Cats, and maybe even Firekkans. I currently have one Confed fighter done and ready for conversion and two Kilrathi fighters, with one more on the way.
So what should I do?
