Only Kenny's models can be used due to mesh errors in LoA's models.

Both.
I have Blender on my home PC. And 3ds max on the company's lappie.
So some were initially done on blender then exported to 3ds for final touches then exported again to FBX at the end.

Still have the texture problems though.
Anyway, if you have anymore of LoA's work that needs fixing, pass it to me. I'll see what I can do.
Right now, I'm working on that snazzy UGTO Corvette of his. Should be done in the next week or so. But... textures... textures!

The models import into our game tools, but there are issues getting the textures lined up properly.
First up, some information:
Tiled textures are great for lowering memory usage, as you can have one 512x512 map on the GPU memory, and use it over and over again (it just references the same location &).
Texture maps have the benefit of being tailor made for that object (higher detail), but come with the downside that they cannot be used for another object. This would mean that memory usage would be increased.
The game, the tools, and all the assets are currently using tiles, and expect tiles. LoA's and Kenny's models however use texture maps, meaning that when we import them, the model mesh is as it should be, but the texture is garbage (the tool doesn't know what to make of it, so you get thruster graphics on the roof of the ship, for example). It's best if I link an example to illustrate the issue:
For reference, this is the UGTO Executioner Dreadnought:
How it should look:
This would require some work, as it would involve either converting all current ships to a new single map system, or adding support for both (which is likely what will happen). Unfortunately, this could be a laborious process, and Faustus is currently busy porting the game servers over to Linux so we can lower our operating costs (this does not mean a Linux port of DarkSpace is going to be available).
However, once the game servers are successfully ported to Linux and all the difficulties involved in getting it stable are ironed out, Faustus has said he will look into the issue. That's as good an answer as I can give at the moment.

That's a good enough answer for me. I understand a lot goes into keeping this running and Kenny these are some awesome UGTO models, I will enjoy blowing them up.
