This is a Tie Fighter as made famous by the Star Wars movies. It is in
Lightwave 3D format. I've seen other versions of this in various formats
but I think mine is more detailed and accurate than others I've seen, so
here it is.
Note that I use a planar-mapped bump map for the "wings" of the Tie
fighter and the image is included. The images name is LittleGradient.iff.
When you load the Tie fighter object, Lightwave will tell you that an
image is missing and ask you if you want to specify an alternate image (unless
of course you happen to have an image called LittleGradient.iff located in
a directory called HD0:Artwork/pictures!). Select "OK" and then select the
included image, LittleGradient.iff, wherever you happened to put it.
As this object is very detailed, it does take alot of RAM. If you wish to
use it in a low RAM situation, I would suggest eliminating the rivets on the
two wings and some of the details on the cockpit and the wing axles.
I originally modelled this object in Imagine and converted it to LW3D format
using Interchange (via Sculpt). Once in LW3D format, I refined the object by
adding better attributes and eliminating unneeded polygons.
