--Republic/Imperial Venator
--Version 1.00 by Amateur
**************************************************************************
Tools used -
3ds Max 8 - modelling, UVWing and rendering
Adobe Phtoshop CS3 Extended - texture creation
Milkshape 3d - Hardpointing and SOD conversion
Special Thanks/Mention -
All of the people who have ever made a mod, even if its not been released. You are all my
inspiration
Assimsoft for the plugins. Couldn't put this model in game.
Achilles, FoaS, and Fireball for their excellent teturing tutorials. Guess what guys; they work!
Starfox, for posting FoaS' video tutorials on MSFC. Wouldn't be able to do panels properly without that.
**************************************************************************
-- Introduction--
**************************************************************************
Perhaps the most iconic ship of the prequel trilogy is presented here. As with all of my stuff, there are better models - but I like to have my own when
possible
Inside, you should find:
1 .ms3d format model file (Venator.ms3d) of this ship, saved just prior to final export as .sod.
2 .sod format model file
- (RepVen.sod)
- (ImpVen.sod)
2 .tga format texture files
- (VenatorImp.tga) of 1024 x 1024 resolution with alpha channel (Galactic Civil War)
- (Venator.tga) of 1024 x 1024 resolution with alpha channel (Clone Wars)
2 .png format pictures:
- (venator.png) of 640 x 480 resolution so you can see what you downloaded.
- (venatorImp.png) of 640 x 480 resolution so you can see what you downloaded.
2 .odf format texts file, for usage in game.
2 .txt format text files:
- (Readme.txt) which is this document.
- (Installation Instructions.txt) containing a detailed guide to installation.
**************************************************************************
-- Model Information--
**************************************************************************
This model and texture was created by me (save for the base panelling pattern, which was included in Achilles'
texture tutorial) for usage in Armada 2. As such, it is under 2000 polygons and poorly optimized for other engines
Anyone wishing to convert this shoud be aware of this before trying.
This model started as a single box, and was then worked on with inset, extrude, cut, connect, slice and bevel tools.
**************************************************************************
-- Installation Instructions--
**************************************************************************
Located in the 'Install Instructions' File.
**************************************************************************
-- A note about the odf's--
**************************************************************************
The included .odf is suitable to get the ship into a single stock game; but is not designed/optimized for gameplay.
Some tweaking and .odf editing will be required to make the ship work properly. Some of the comments in the .odf have
been enlarged to make this process easier.
The stock defiant pulses are used as the basic weapon loadout. This is mainly to ensure hardpoint placement. The included
.ms3d file allows for a complete view of the hardpoint locations, though the .odf may be construed as a rough guide.
THIS SHIP IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE FLEET OPERATIONS ENGINE. SOME ODF ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE IT WORK IN THEIR
GREATLY MODDED VERSION OF A2.
**************************************************************************
-- A Request--
**************************************************************************
Have fun with this, its what I made them for. Oh, and if anyone wants to tinker with them
then feel free - its the way I learned
**************************************************************************
-- Permission--
**************************************************************************
I hereby grant permission for anyone to modify the included models and textures and release
them. I know what they look like though - so if you try and pass 'em off as your own there'll
be trouble!
In all seriousness, feel free to use any and all parts of this mod for any purpose with the
exception of porting. I would request an e-mail about this for the simple reason that I could
provide the base mesh that will sure expediate things.

E-mail is a bit problematic for me as I sometimes don't receive them, but it is here just in
