Topic: Request for texturing help on the BCG.... (Read 1289 times)

Something must have happened to the guy I had helping me with the textures, I haven't heard from him in over a week. Anyway so I have the BCG and it variants almost complete, I just need some help with two things. First is the warp nacelle glow on the nacelle strut. I really like this look, however I cannot do this myself, I have tried numerous times and it look like somebody decided to paint the thing blue.

I would ask TVL but he is busy with his own projects right now, and I want to him to finish as many of those as he can before we lose him for a good month or more. Second is the single Torp tube, I have one that is red and glows for the BCJ, but I need one that is green for the BCF.

I really need someone who could do it this week, perferably within a couple of days. This BC is two weeks behind the schedule I had set for it, and I want to get this thing done and move on to something else, like the Andor. Post here in this thread or ICQ, email, or PM me and I'll send you what you need.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I can't help you out yet either I am stuck in my own projects at the time. What he seems to be referring to is this Thread and the 3 ships in it.

Now it lookis like you are trying to use the same glow P81 liked to do. the simplist way is to start with a solid blue and make several lighte hues of that blue lower on the base. Then blur it all and blend it in, save it and copy that to the texture you want it on, if you keep the transperance under 15% visable it gives that nice blue effect that fades away, that resembles the glow.

I could help with the glows, but the earliest I would have time to work on it would be this weekend. If you havent got it done by then, shoot it over to me and I'll take care of it.

Can you post an example of one of the textures that is currently done like this? It'd help to see what you need..

Because if it's something quick and simple, I can probably scrape up a bit of time to do it for you.. would just need the original textures and what you need done to it. (Use an example with pictures, ala Word .DOC, so I only have to do the change once please).

Here is an example, this the Belknap cruiser and exactly what I want. Just a subtle glow on the nacelle.

'K... got it.

I know exactly how to get that effect.. could even extend it a little bit down the pylon if you wished..

Great! Anything else you need besides the textures and a .doc telling exactly what I want?

Just for you to add me into ICQ..

I sent over a request to have you add me through ICQ a little bit ago..

It'll cut down on messages in here and we can talk "more directly" as it were..
