Nicely done Azel and Sandman sirs, D/L'ing now. Why no hull registry if I may ask ?

look at one of my earlier posts mate...I give an explanation

OK, for everyone who downloaded this, please re-do so...I replaced the old one with the new zip containing the MkII version with phaser banks.

Its one beautiful 3d starship,
I've being playing with the "Ring Drive" for a while,

Thanks a million

Exelent ship, indeed. I have read about the Interpid and really like this theory on her design.

You think that you can try your hand at one of the Vulcan science cruisers that have only been done in low poly models so far next? Would be interesting to see them done by such a talented hand.

Definitrely Vulcan/Fed Hybrid-I like the hull palting you used Hey wheres the thumbs up icon?
Thanks alot mate...The way I did the textures is kind of a trade off...it allows me to make a circular Aztec for the most part well...But it causes me a huge problem in making registries, and phasers and stuff(stretches very very badly)...so the ship will have no windows and such...as the texture is Square rather than circular....without PSP or PS I cannot figure out a way to surmount this dillema
But at least she looks decent enough to me to give her to you guys...which reminds me...I have a TOS Excelsior and Ingram that needs lightmaps so they can be released... lol

Fear not, I have the solution. (Sorry I am a bit melodramatic at times) snicker - Detach the saucer from the rest of the ship so its seperate. Take a render from above like you did for the entire ship, only with just the saucer. Do a printscreen of said render. Cut out just around the saucer and paste this saucer into a 512 by 512 bitmap so the saucer just fits into it. Then sharpen the pic to regain some of the quality you lose from copy, paste and resizing the saucer image. Its a slight drop in quality, not too bad. You will more then make up for it in windows and registy.

Step2- Remap your saucer top to this bitmap. You may need to regoup the saucer into top and bottom if not done already. You can now add in windows to this map, also registry and it will not be stretched at all.

If you dont have PSP. Resizing, cut, paste, sharping can all be done with Irfanview. A free utility- try a search on the web. I hope its still available somewheres.

This technique I came up with though its probably not unique or anything. Patent pending j/k

Anyways sharpening would help the saucer, its just a tad blurry unless thats from the photo getting resized.

Qapla
That's a good idea....And it may just work well...lol
Thanks mate!!!

or you could always let me have the original texture, and i will polar-coordinate it for you.

Azel · « **Reply #30 on:** July 03, 2004, 11:15:07 am »

Hey that bottom one looks similar to my USS Endeavor :
http://jason9704.fotopic.net/p4268822.html
Except for the Nacelle orientation and hull astetics

BTW: STeelViper, you can Actually just DL the model to tweak the Saucer/hull textures for windows and signage
Thanks again mate

To tell you the truth, I like all three of those NX concepts, especially that topmost one.

E_Look · « **Reply #32 on:** July 03, 2004, 10:19:31 pm »

I like the top 2!

hmmm.....

I'd be interested in knowing what is the source of the pictures? I'd like to go to the website to see interesting secondary hull on #1 and #3

Take care

If I am not mistaken...they came with the Bandai NX-01 model instruction booklet...these pluse another more smoothed out version of the NX-01 are all that are availible...
I am presently working on a few TOS designs like my version of the Endeavor...

so keep a look out
BTW I need someone to host some pics when its done...any vollenteers??

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2004, 03:46:06 am »

If I'm not mistaken,I have seen #2 around here somewhere. I believe someone did that one or one very similar to it. If anyone knows for sure please post the info.Meanwhile I'll take a look through my stuff and links and see if I have it .And I would really love all 3 of them in game.
