Trouble with fragmented top hull text
« on: April 11, 2016, 09:47:57 pm »
I have a model of the Uss Equinox. It is good except that the text that appears on the top and bottom saucer sections is fragmented (see attached image). I have also included the model and textures here for you all to examine. Thank you.

The Lettering is only fragmented as it has sunken into the hull. You need to pull each letter out then it will be all right The logos etc are all objects and not part of the textures. The S N and O in USS Equinox I have not pulled out in the screenshot, where there are red flashes theses would need to be pulled out also

Go into point mode, Have points selected, Click a Point in the letter then hit c key (This selects all the points in the letter)then you can lift it with the up arrow key. (TBH, you really should do some modelling instead of grabbing ready made models, then you might learn something!)
