well, I modelled it, and it was my first modelling job (other than fooling around with little learning projects.) it was imported into P4 as an object, minus the parts that needed to be parented to ALREADY moving parts on the obj. like the INITIAL segment on the landing gear was part of the obj...then the secondary, tertiary, and quat(however it's said) parts were parented TO the INITIAL segment. same with the hatch parented to the moving Canopy. yep...it's a crude figure, but it works. I'm just learning all this stuff. Garee...that render is AWESOME!! (did you post it to the Galleries!!???) (I posted a render in the galleries earlier this week) anyway, my comp is old and can't handle P5, but I appreciate any add-ons and any improvements you wanna make for the raider!! it's FREE after all!!! just give me credit of course!! and keep it free. =)) and make a Battlestar!!! haha j/k .peace on. -grimnir (aka Wolfheathen)
