After I turned off my computer for the night, I remembered the "Fun with PSO" topic. When I read through that, I didn't know what a PSO was, and didn't catch what was going on. However, I did see some screenshots of ship models in other programs, giving me the idea it was possible. Also, since I can open I-War models in Blender, I can make accurate paper models of ships, since I can use the vertex coordinates. A while back I made a program that calculates the distance between two three-dimensional points, so that should make things easier. I expect I will need Paint Shop Pro to texture the ship.
In reply to Richard Skinner: I will actually be dealing with a similar problem with distances on my 2-D version of I-War. What I plan to do is have several regions around stations, planets, and L-points. Each of these has its own world coordinates. Coordinates for ships within the region are translated to local coordinates, for easier measurement of location, distance, etc. between objects. This is mostly to simplify the numbers associated with travelling large distances.
