Topic: Retexture : Auxiliary ZCVs now at SFU! (Read 1677 times)

I've been thinking that the Mirak have needed better ships for some time now. I would love to play the Mirak cruisers from the SFC: EAW opening movie. You'll note the STOCK ZCAs are NOT 100% Identical to the ones in that short intro but that's another issue...

I really don't like the STOCK Mirak carriers and for awhile I've actually been using the retextured SFB Juggernaught in its place, LOL. So I today I decided to retexture the ST: BC Frieghter and ST: BC Transport Dark Matrix converted for us. Using STOCK Mirak fighter textures and here's what I came up with so far:

BEFORE:

Images curtosey of Dark Matrix and these ships may be found at his site here: http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/dd/index.htm

AFTER:

These are still WIP and I used CV to get these pics. I'm not satisfied with the rear engines at the moment...

Hopefully, Kreeargh and Pataflafla will reappear with their MIrak WIPs but in the meantime, this is what I've been up to.

If there is enough interest, I'll get these up at SFU.

Qapla!

What do you mean you don't like the stock mirak "flying dog house"?

The models you've posted look great. Well done ...

UPDATE:

Here's what I've done so far today. Note the rear engines on the Transport are identical to the ones on the rear of the "freighter". I actually prefer the freighter to be the heavy carrier but it looks like I need to revise my opinion.

The gray side stripe on the command pod of the Transport appears to be a MESH issue that has nothing to do with the textures I used.

I'm going back to the STOCK ZCV to see if there are any finishing textures I need to add.

Both of these looked cool launching the STOCK ZFT and Thulls ZPFT...

I still need to update the readme file...

Well, shoot... I approve of your project. Oddly enough, I was pasting textures on that particular freighter so the ISC might have a small freighter to go along with the stock Taldren model. That leaves the transport model you are working on for use as a Kzinti Auxilliary carrier. Likely I would be interested in using it.

Lets see some pics please of that ISC freighter

I think I will leave the STOCK ZCV texture out of these retextures.

I really like the Transport as the Kzinit carrier now, LOL. To heck with the Stock ZCV....

I hope to post these shortly.

Pics? It is pretty lame at best. I'm just trying to get it close enough to pass for a small ISC freighter. Mostly transfering some of the ISC colors and details. I'll can email you the textures when I'm done but it's going pretty slow right now.

Good luck with the transport. That's a little tough to retexture with that single bitmap. Oh what we do to realize our idea of what we think SFC needs now. Gee, wouldn't it be nice to be versed in Max and PSP?

Lookin' good, KF!

I wish someone would do a cool retexture/remodel of the entire Kzin fleet. I really don't like the Taldren one's much and i'm not crazy about the SFB-style models I've seen, either.

Hey KF!

Thanks for the carriers! I think your textures are really good!

Thanks, KF. They look really good. Thanks for supplying the actual link to the file's DL page as well. I don't always have the best of luck finding stuff at SFU.
