Thanks guys. She is all ready for her maiden voyage. Try not to get her blown up. Unless your playing Fed of course

Its at my Yahoo club. Sorry you have to join it 1st, then click under files. Heres the link.

Link to d/l the V-4 SFC3 version

Its complete for SFC3 with hard points damage maps/damage light maps. PLus a break model. All the odds and ends like TI, VL and BS files with install instructions and some ship back ground.

Please d/l if you like it. I have FASA ships I can complete but not much sense in releasing if only 3 people d/l it. I put more work into ships I release then ones I just throw in my own game. Figure if my names in the readme I don't want the model to be too shabby.

Why not put it up at the SFU? then ppl can get to it all the time with no d/l limit.

red_green · « **Reply #25 on:** March 30, 2004, 08:12:06 am »

Sorry guys. I forget how low yahoo band limit is. Also wasn't sure what happened to files at SFU but I figured out how to get the direct link so the one below should take you right to it. Now that I know I'll just post files over there from now on.

V4 d/l link

May I say - since I never got to see the images up at VillagePhotos - that is fcuking brilliant

could you do a version without the open shuttlebay? And will we get that shuttle as a separate mod?

red_green · « **Reply #27 on:** March 30, 2004, 10:52:16 am »

Yea I can do a closed bay version. Just some info on the shuttle as MajorRacal commented it might be too big. I measured it in game comparing to the wing span of the V-4. I was able to put 16 and 1/2 shuttles touching end to end lengthwise along the wingspan. Since the wingspan is 195 meters, this makes the shuttle length 11.8 meters. Anyone have an idea what an average shuttle length in TOS era was? I want to get things as authentic as possible so I appeciate comments like MajorRacal made and Mariner did earlier about using square nacels. The ship looks much better for it.

The shuttle is actually modeled after the P-12 cutter as seen in this link.

P-12

This P-12 is actually 54 meters in length. Making it more of a PF fighter I imagine. The length of the V4 is only 80 meters. So obviously it couldn't carry a P-12. So when I release the P-12, I will scale one at 54 meters and the other the same size as the stock shuttle in SFC3(I'm assuming those will be 2 different sizes, but maybe not). I also have 2 versions of nacells for it so I will include them both. I actually have not finished texturing it yet. Though for inside the bay it really didn't need any detail, but the 54 meter one will

As per request. A new version with closed bays. I also went ahead and repainted the wings. The buzzards are green now also. I did that after I too the screen shot.

Here is both links.

TMP closed bay version

TOS open bay version

****IMPORTANT**** Note While the texture maps are different for each version, they have the same names. Whats cool about that is you can use either texture version for both ships. Just be sure to back up a copy before you copy over the originals.

***ANOTHER SEMI-IMPORTANT NOTE***** On the TOS version. rename bottom8_D.bmp to bottom8D.bmp Thats the only error I have found so far.

Am I nice to you guys or what?

Absolutely incredible work! These ships are beautiful to behold in game

Ever notice how some of the weird FASA stuff that sometimes looks crud on paper looks awesome in 3D? This is one of them

Hey thanks alot for the kind words. Glad you like it. It is pretty sweet in 3d. Looking at it critically though, which we modelers always do, since we strive to keep improving. It needs more work on the textures. Meshing wise I think I nailed it, I even got the closed bay version down to 2300 polies

, but my textures are lagging behind my mesh skills. I could release more ships I have, but I decided to rework the V-4. Yes already even though I just released it

The textures well be in the same TOS theme I am just adding hull plating, greebling, shadows and less saturation. It well look like its been in space for 5 years

I think its worth a revist cause I can stull learn off of this ship before releasing the next one. While I am at it I will alter the mesh slightly so this will be the V4 type II. I believe thats how FASA designates the refits. This is a couple weeks off as from time to time I just have to take a break for a week or so to rest my eyes.

Since most of you seemed to prefer closed bays, I will make this refit with closed bays.

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2004, 11:38:48 am »

Great stuff

Look forward to seeing it.

And i liked the open shuttle bay one, so there

But open or closed is still good.

red_green · « **Reply #38 on:** April 06, 2004, 08:51:38 pm »

The TOS version V4 typeII is available here. This is a retexture of the TOS version. Its the same textures as previously only more details and weathering. Let me know which of the TOS textures you prefer, weathered or "shipyard new". As future ships may only have 1 release.

TOS V4typeII

The mesh is the same with closed bays. I could have added 1 more gun per side. But I don't like uber ships. I think refits should be updating or replacing guns, not added a bunch more

Awesome work. I really like the type II textures, but I can't open the archive file after I d/l it
