I tried to make it look like its been out on patrol for a while and the brown is ment to be rust on the hull

Classy - for an SFB Gorn, can't really say I like them. At all. But yeah I totally dig the rust patterns - very subtle and not overblown like you tend to get people putting on Klingon ships. 2 things - 1. what's with the bright red urinal cakes stuck to the wings and underside? I'm pretty sure they're the plasma launchers but really - couldn't you tone 'em down a bit? Also those 2 big dark-grey slabs in the midships look like they could do with a lick of paint to match the rest of the hull. Other than those 2 things a very nice textureset on a pretty cool mesh.

Well the grey slabs are the shuttle bay not yet done. And yes the red things are the plasma launchers, since they are not fixed and can track their target I put in the black stripe to show that, and I see what you mean they are kinda bright.

And I dont know what color to really make the final plasma emiters which are the green things.

Nice job Khalee
I hope that your depression passes. I like what your doing.

TVL,

See my response to you in AtraHasis new ship thread; this is an example of what I mean- I think Khalee is doing a pretty fine job, but the original SFB designers could have taken five or ten more minutes to come up with a cooler design! (uh, in my opinion, that is!)

Don't be too concerned with how bright the plasma swivels look in a render. Check it out ingame before you decide that they're too bright. as far as the color for the actual tubes/launchers goes. For them to be noticable in game they'll have to be pretty high contrast to the swivels. I don't know what res you run your game at. I run mine at 1280x768. The models get pretty small. They don't take up half the screen like they do in a render.

Nice job though. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product

Ok cant sleep so I did two differant kinds of shuttle bays.

The first opens like a garage door, the blue window iw suppose to be where they control the launch and recovery of shuttles from and could use some pointers in makeing it look better.

The second pict shows it opeing like the fed CA's do clamshell like side to side.

So which one looks better.

starforce2 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 04, 2003, 12:08:09 am »

the 2nd one.

WOW! You can definitely tell you're taking your time with this. Very detailed so far.

I like the look of pic 2...looks more realistic, and the feel of the clamshell style is right. Good Job!

I really don't like the original SFB designs which is why I never played SFB.

However, even I can recognize a well done model. This is certainly nothing to be depressed about.

Any plans to do some non-SFB designs?

Again, nicely done.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Qapla!

HI Khalee
I like this door arrangement

don't forget the shuttle landing targets on the wings

Thanks for Sharing with us keep up the great work

A little update on the shuttle bay.
And if you have to ask I desided I did not like the look of the phaser mounts so Im redoing them as well, which is why they dont dshow up in the second picture.

Smiley · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2003, 11:13:42 am »

I'm not one for SFB designs but you're certainly making a good job of it!

Chin up matey!

E_Look · « **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2003, 01:22:01 pm »

Hey, Khalee,

Sorry, but I can't seem to spot in either picture where the shuttle bay doors are!

Khalee · « **Reply #16 on:** September 05, 2003, 08:20:54 am »
