Well, while remembering how to work max4 (it's a little different then max5), I wanted to do something with basic shapes...I've also been wanting to do some ships from "STAR WARS: The NEW Essential Guide To Vessels and Vehicles"...whew, what a mouthful.

Anyway, while looking through it, I saw this...

I think it'll make a great frieghter in SFC...what you think?

It's a Republic Cruiser, correct?

And I agree it'll make a great freighter.

Episode One....Republic Courier seen at the beginning when the two Jedis arrive at the blockade above the planet...but I could be wrong!

Semper Fi, Carry On

Y'all get stars next to your name at recess time!!

Pirate ship? Maybe...I was thinking it looked like it could pass as an early (pre-TOS) Cardassian.

But, at least we agree she makes a good freighter. I'm doing the textures like in the book, but I was also thinking of "Fedify"-ing her up. What do you think?

DUDE that totaly Rocks Ya for starwars makers

I made a semi low poly trade bb this will go well if a mod is ever made

Are you going for the cannon look or takeing some libertys?

sandman69247 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 10, 2004, 07:09:49 pm »

Well, if what's in the book is canon, then canon. I realized when I went to start mapping her that the front "wings" were too wide, so brought 'em in a little. Also, going to try to add more of the masts and such, but main thing poly count....I could easily go over the 10,000 mark with this, so much detail and all, but I'm trying to find a happy medium where there's enough mesh detailing that it works well with texture details. Right now, IIRC, she comes in 2500 + or-. I have room to play with, but want to keep it kinda low. Freighters are usually in groups, and a group of 5 or more would tax a lot of machines, mine included.

BTW, if anyone has, or knows where to get a rear view of this ship, please let me know...need to see how the exhaust for the engines looks. Thanx!

OK, working on the textures...what do you think so far?

Kaenyne · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2004, 12:37:19 pm »

Looking real nice.

As I'm not very familiar with this ship's details, are you aiming for accuracy or your own interpretation?

sandman69247 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2004, 01:41:43 pm »

Well.....I usually start out trying for accuracy, then as I discover things I can't do yet, it usually winds up as my interpretation.

Although, the red color scheme is canon, and like it says in the book "Don't they know that painting the ship red only makes it a better target?" quote Jull Dremon, Trade Federation gunner just before opening fire on the RADIANT 7.

Anyway, I usually just keep going 'til I'm happy with the way a model looks, then release her.
