remap is thoes colors that changes to yor team color. they are the red line of color is the left of VXL SE III. BTW a nice, simple plane you got there _________________ This is a signature QUICK_EDIT
It’s not long enough & it’s also too tall so it looks like it’s been squished. To edit the normals just select the view normals option (or whatever it’s called in the program you using). Editing them can be complex tho & I can’t explain it in a single post but there are several tutorials on the subject so have a look for them. _________________

Thanks for the input, I'll work on it
Oh, I use VSEIII 1.2c. I also found the view normals mode, now where do I go from here? And what is the advantage over auto normals and manually doing this. QUICK_EDIT

As mentioned, remap is the red colors on the left of the palette, so to apply you paint them on as you would any color.
A normal is an imaginary line perpendicular to a surface used in geometry and waves, such as light. As such, the value or shade of the normal defines how the voxel its applied to will reflect the ingame lighting, and as such how well defined, clear, and colored it will appear. As autonormals just guess what the angles and facings are, they will suffer from the effects of bad normals, wheras when manually applied, each normal should be correct, thus the voxel should look spiffing. Example of manually applied normals Example of Auto-normals Notice light and dark voxels, and angles/rounded vs staircased areas.

well, it looks good, but it's missing remap, like Duplexxx pointed out.
The remap colours are in the red scheme at the lower left corner of UNITEM pallete (the pallete where you're getting your colours from). The colours 16-31 are remap colours.

Ok, I manually normalled it, and put a remap on it. I also lowered it, and lengthend it. If you have any comments or suggestions please don't hesitate express them. Thanks again for all of your help.

make sure the wings, tail fins and stablizers, and all other one voxel thick surfaces are doubled.. normals are really wierd when they are only one voxel thick...
Otherwise, it's a really brilliant design.. just... dont put the remap on the nose.. everywhere else is great!... other than those, rock on!! _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
I say overall the voxel is quite good. The texturing at the top side of the plane is good, but I feel you should do more of this, like around the nose and cockpit, as well on the underside.
A lot of people don't bother with detailing the underside, but this is just lazy, and you notice it when your plane crashes . _________________ If there is a problem on the forums, PM me. QUICK_EDIT

Muldrake...before you jump the gun and spotlight this, may I suggest Ingames be required of ALL voxels that are potential spotlights? People have this habit of taking VV shots that look OMG NICE and the voxel ends up looking like a clump of pubic hair. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade.

I still dislike this version. You'd better be off using the public download f-22 and modifying it. _________________ "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live." QUICK_EDIT
