I wouldn't call what I'm doing "developing".
I'm using the 3D models Rowi already exported and adjusted for the dat.
I did blend separate models into one bigger model as much as I could.
I stayed with the stock UV Mapping so far. I could see a re-UV as a MAJOR upgrade to the SH5 models to get better skins.
I also removed all the SHD models and Dynamicshadow controller.
(When's the last time you saw Dynamic Shadows in SHIII?)
WB's Basic VIIA Mod works great as is, so all I've only done is blend some great work by others into a different sub you can go blow stuff up with.
@drakkhen,
Was he using Tomi's VIID?
