Topic: SFB-style Klingon C5 and C8/C9

[atheorhaven]

Very nicely done..
*thinks*
.. I have these models that could use that..

KD5, KLTT1P, KD5W, KD7, KC7, KDN, KDNL, KB8, KB10
RD5, RD5W, RKR, RKCR, RKDN, RKBB

Each one of these are currently and will be used used in OP+... and none of these have that very nice lighting texture you have produced.  My Problem is that if I start doing it for one, I would have to do it for all...    ..  Additionally, I have 3 LODs on each of these ships, all of which I have created and would need the same application applied...
*sigh* .. well.. I can give it a try. I have seen other potential problems on some models. For example, look above at the first lighting screenshot of the KDNL: the underbelly lighting aren't right: they're not symetric.
Could this lighting be shared with me also?

No, I'm going to be a stingy sod and keep them to myself.  Of course I'll let you have them,geez.  

Again, these are rough textures, and I only made them up so that I'd have something to map to the nacelles when I lit these for KF.  But you're welcome to use these, or to use the ones that KF'll probably have done.  

And the quickest way to fix the asymmetry in your lighting texture would be to find the midpoint of the texture, go to the bottom or top of the texture and select the side that you like best.  Then copy that side and mirror it.  You'll have two symmetrical sides...

One thing of course, back up the original texture first, you may not like the final result and want to retry something different.

The wings have different textures on each side.

Yes, please send that texture of the warps to me?

Just sending them out to KF now before I'm out for the evening.. PM me an email addy here that can handle a 600kb infusion of Klingon and Romulan ships and I'll mirror those over to you. 

[FireSoul]

Just examine my profile.

I know these are quick kitbashes, but has anyone considered doing them in this style from the start? Specifically, the boom and wing sections are not just larger ones from the D7; they're heavier, and the bridge section looks slightly different.

Still haven't recieved the lit mod files...

[FireSoul]

I have just updated my .ZIP files of released klingon and kestrel ships that use these textures to have a blank black illumination texture layer. It should work if you replace it with what you need, if you're trying to replace the texture sets.

Sent them to your Hotmail acct this afternoon.. they're still not there yet?

I'll delve into my email proggie here on this machine to find one of your non-Hotmail msgs, forward it to my Hotmail acct, and then resend them from the other machine where they are..

[edit] Or, maybe I won't.. I went all the way through to early last year, and the only address I have for you is Hotmail.  :p

I'll put them up where you can grab them, then send you a link in email if they haven't shown in Hotmail..

[Klingon Fanatic]

Well done Atheorhaven! I have recieved the lit versions and I have a few more texture tweaks before I can get these retextures out the door. Now if I can get the rest of Firsoul's Klinks lit as well we're going to have a hell of a Black Fleet...

B8, anyone? 

Hi Luc
 would it be possible to post a picture showing b10 b8 C8/9 and Ktinga next to each other to Illustrate the differences in size? 
sorry lets not forget the C5 also

Using the modelviewer at a constant distance of 35.7. OP's model.siz file can skewer this.

[FireSoul]

I would expect the D7 model to be larger compared to the others. I guess it's this way because I started with the C5 which is like this. *shrug*

[KBF-Dogmatix_XC]

The F5?.. *thinks* .. I'm not sure I would know what it should look like. Perhaps it's best that I leave it alone for now and concentrate on what I need to finish first.

The B8 is the logical progression towards my short-term goals of C8/C9 -> B8 -> B10 models. One leads to the next, leads to the next.

Can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd installments in this master plan...heheh.

I really don't know what to do about the F5... .. so I'm leaving it alone for now. I hope someone else can come forward with a submission, since I'm fresh out of Klingon juice.

I seem to recall jrstandfast (aka Gow) did an alteration and retexture of the Qud from KA which was the kdd in SFC, adding warp engines to the wings and larger impulse engines, turret mounted disruptors like on the K'T'inga and a Vorcha style bridge section at the join between the 'head' and neck. Looks good and is much more akin to an SFB design than the original Qud. I think it can still be found on SFU and I currently use it for my F5

Hi Luc
   I concur while I expected the Dreadnoughts to be larger  I didn't expect them to be as large as shown. The op scaling file will perhaps bring them to a better size. I'd scale down the Dreads and the BBS say by 25 to 30 percent. This should bring them in better line to the Ktinga. Still you've done some great work here Keep it up
and thanks for sharing 

 

Take care

I guess my reply about the F5 didn't survive..

.. oh well.

Hi Luc
How about re-texturing the existing fleet dock 13  F5 or Destynova's F5 to a tmp style perhaps remove the sensor dish and replace it with a torp tube ala ktinga. 
Another option is Terradyhne's Ktorr class destroyer this ship is small and might be the same size as an F5
 total crew complement of 120 
over all length 125.8 meters
width of 56 meters
draft of 21.3 meters.

Or take the existing SFB F5 and raise the warp engine and sweep back the secondary hull to give it a sleeker profile
right now it looks like a flying A frame. Perhaps scale down the ktinga class secondary Hull and add it to an f5 re-textured boom.

Well theres some ideas for you I hope that I've helped a bit
