And didn't the prerevolution Royal French troops wear white? That most people think of blue in connection with French soldiers stems probably from Napoleonic times.

A little reading suggests that in all liklihood the ships and French ports would be defended by French Marines in the 1690s, whose uniform was indeed off-white, with long justaucorps worn over a blue knee length gilet and blue cullottes/breeches with a nice tricorn hat. Nice little page here: <a href="http://perso.wanadoo.fr/huchehault/L14cfdlm-szg.htm" target="_blank">French Marines</a>
 
Blue French soldiers are by Duke Surak'nar, and the reason was (IIRC?) homage to Sea Dogs's blue-uniformed French.

You can change it somewhere with the scene menu. How it works, I don't know though. Until someone gives a USEFUl answer, I'd recommend messing around with it a bit. I believe there are some help files for the program as well (Press [Help]>[?]). See if there is anything useful in there.
 
From the looks of it, the wonderful ladies that did a lot of the development for this awesome tool aren't around much any longer. But I've just got to say thank you for all the work and pray they'll eventually be back and share thier talents with us again in the future.

This is probably a really stupid question - but I don't suppose that there is any way that I can convert the .mb files that maya creates to .wrl files... If not, I'll just have to learn max - hey maybe I can transfer it from one program to the other?

I have found a way to change from .obj or .raw files to .vrml... I still cannot find any way to export to obj or .raw from maya... hmmm
 
Since I don't have Maya, I can't help you with it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
