Ok, been away for a few days - had problems with my cable provider.
I've got a list of things as long as my arm that I am supposed to be doing, including:

-Nemesis yard for mp2
-Norway textures for James Formo
-2 texture sets for Mackie
-Chimera textures for Major A Payne
-Klingon textures for Rage

EDIT: Add D'Varan Romulan to the list

Here's a quick wip of the Chimera:

Great ship man. And hey no rush on the Norway. I did that mesh about 6 months ago and never had a clue with the textures. I did make up a pirate version though. Just keep it fun man. You do up some of the nicest Feds in the Forum.
Myself I think there hard to texture. Seems like old hat for you though.

btw weren't you working on a Romulan also? Or is that finished? Not that I am trying to lengthen you list or anything

Looks really good, bud!

Unfortunately, you seem to be in great demand, as all the good texture artists are. Pataflafla is on the road with his band, Atheorhaven just moved and has that to deal with and now you. See what happens when you get good at something?

Take your time and deal with RL properly...we'll still be here.

You have some real texturing talent there. Keep it up!

Major A Payne · « **Reply #4 on:** July 29, 2003, 04:26:10 am »

Smiley. You've done my model proud for sure. Can't wait to see the finished version though, and please, take your time. Theres no rush at all. I've always noticed that people who take their time always do the best job.

I just wish I could texture that good!!!!!

Anthony_Scott · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2003, 01:02:03 pm »

Smiley, you are producing some good ships there! Keep it up!

Kaenyne · « **Reply #6 on:** July 29, 2003, 01:40:24 pm »

The Chimera looks great!

I'm no expert, but she looks nearly done to me.

When done, she'll be a fine addition to anyone's Federation fleet.

Any timetable on her?

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #7 on:** July 29, 2003, 07:11:31 pm »

Isn't this the Companion ship to the post TNG Fed BB the USS Ronin?

Well done anyway. Thanks for sharing this with us.

OMG:eek:

one inaccuracy, the torpedo launchers are incloosed a bit more by the pod. But damn, I'll hafta show this to the author. It'd be interesting to see how his low poly version of chimea 2 competes with this one.

Major A Payne · « **Reply #12 on:** August 01, 2003, 10:57:41 am »

Starforce. When I made this model remember I was working from images you provided me with and they're the same distance that they are in the images.

Major A Payne · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2003, 04:42:26 pm »

Yo there Smiley. Any news on the Chimera?? Also can you do me a huge favour and sort me out with a generic texture which has no registry on it please??

Heavens_Eagle · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2003, 06:31:58 pm »

Hey Smiley
I sent you an e-mail about possibly sending me some examples of what and how you get some of your texturing effects. I have to texture a new NOVA Z1 class Romulan battlecruiser. I can place the textures and create them but want them to NOT look too clean or cartoony.

I can understand your time constraints, just let me know if you can or not for now.

Here is the link to the NOVA thread.

Thanks

James Formo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2003, 06:49:55 am »

Dang Smiley. If your working 12 hour shifts, you'll never have any time to spend the money.

Hope your back online soon.

Smiley · « **Reply #20 on:** August 24, 2003, 04:44:31 pm »

Duh, now I get it! ATM - Automatic Teller Machines, lol, not exactly common language here really, we call them cash points, lol, oh well, only took me a few months to get it! I redefine the meaning of slow from here onwards, I believe

Captain Ron · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2003, 06:10:41 pm »

And the light goes on!

Sorry to hear about all the time you spend walking, but think of the shape you will be in after it is done.

Smiley · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2003, 11:34:52 am »

A small update....

Major A Payne · « **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2003, 12:36:03 pm »

Well I for one am overly impressed.

E_Look · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2003, 12:59:40 pm »

Well, that's shaping up nicely! I say, take your time, and do it to your satisfaction, a la WZ style.

starforce2 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 04, 2003, 05:37:21 pm »

w00t!

Smiley · « **Reply #27 on:** September 22, 2003, 12:02:55 pm »

Nearly finished!

James Formo · « **Reply #28 on:** September 22, 2003, 01:04:00 pm »

Very nice. Say Smiley. I havn't been able to get your Vanguard and another ship of yours to be loaded by SFC3. I can't figure out why unless its just that it is taking so long cause of the textures. But on 1 of em the caher won't even make an mod.x file .

I know its normal for the recacher to crash but it has always at least made an x file. It will do it for the break but not the standardm mod. I think that was the Wycombe (sp?) I noticed that it had naming problems with the damage points. For example duplicates like d1 d2 d2 d3 d3 and missing e2 or something. So I renamed them but it still wouldn't load in skirmish after waiting 5 minutes. My compter is an 800 mhz AMD btw.

Azel · « **Reply #29 on:** September 22, 2003, 04:18:30 pm »

Smiley!!!!
Awesome job there mate

Say if you are not too busy...I have something to email you

starforce2 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 22, 2003, 11:26:49 pm »

it's looking great dude. You might want to adress the issue of all those segments in the phaserbanks. You know, roung them off a bit.
