I remembered I have a copy of the Emperor's Wrath, so I've committed it: b46fc82

@Deiz looking at my IRC logs, you mentioned having most of the Za'lek and Sormoid models on 2016-10-23. It seems you added the Soromid ones in 6f0aaa2, but not Za'lek. Still have those?

[ids1024]

Most of these ships were modeled by @Viruk, according to ARTWORK_LICENSE.

With ddc991b we're caught up to this point (assuming the .blend files are all good):

• Za'lek HQ
• demon (called ver1 in commit)
• imp (called ver2 in commit)
• mephisto
• sting
• hephaestus
• prototype
• diablo
• light/heavy/bomber/scout drone
• vox
• odium
• brigand
• ingenuity (Thurion)
• drone_heavy (Collective)

Discord comment from @Lineth: "Unfortunately I lost Viruk's work a long while and several PC's ago."
(confirming what ARTWORK_LICENSE was saying and unfortunately exhausting a potential lead)

[UncombedCoconut]

Thanks to some sleight of hand, "imp" and "prototype" are sort of done. The Mephisto model in naev-artwork actually matched the Za'lek Prototype; before today, the in-game Mephisto was a totally different thing.
Commits from today have replaced the old Mephisto sprites with ones matching the model (and the Prototype), and have also deleted the Imp.

Prototype and imp are also fine with the removal of them both right?

[bobbens]

I'm guessing we should just try to remake the 3 missing ships for now? We'll have to figure out what to do with the station later, but probably also a remake...

[bobbens]

I've been able to scrounge up and fix all the 3D ships except for a couple.

The final role call for missing ships:

• Thurion Ingenuity
• Collective Heavy Drone
• Za'lek Demon

I have the thurion ship models, but the originals are all max files w/ fbx exports. Blender's fbx importer can't import them correctly however

That would be great! If you have max and can also export to something like OBJ or whatever that blender can also import, that would also be useful, as it may be easier to import. For example, I had to go through OBJ to import the sirius ships to newer blender because they were impossible otherwise.

Just a friendly reminder if you could share the original I can try to work with it (ideally in OBJ or some format blender can, but even raw would be fine). I've merged the 3D ships today and this would help lower the amount of non-3D ships.

[AvanWolf]

I've managed to mostly convert them to a format (gltf) that blender can import correctly, however I have had no success so far with preserving the materials. If you'd like them in that state, I can upload them somewhere
