Decals on drop tanks....

[Wrench 9,801]

for the life of me, I can't remember the pathway for getting the coordinates right!!! I've done it before, on Scooters, but am drawing a blank

is it left/right, up down to the world center of the model, or the mesh? (ie: 0.0, 0.0 and move accordingly).

my mind has just gone ppphhhhffffffffttttttt on this one!!

center of the entire model...

Are you talking about decals on drop tanks that are not part of the .lod?

[Wrench 9,801]

no, they're built into the lod, otherwise that don't work!!

That's what I thought, then mues lod viewer gives you the exact coordinates just like any other part of the .lod?

apparently ....

the coords are on the tank mesh! I had to d/l my VC13 Scooter to see how I did it last time!!!

and it works ..........................

 

now, off to make 2 full sets of serial number decals -- old style (0-*****) and VN era types (af/number/3large digits)
