Klingon Fanatic asked me to KB a ship for him, simple job, just put some new engines on a Rommie. Ran into a problem though and I can't find a way around it. I was wondering if anyone out there can help me....

I've done this about 5 times, each time with no success. I erased the engines, but it seems when I do the polygons on the interior of the wings are erased with it. I tried scaling the engines to micro sizes and covering them with the engines but they still pop out. Anyone know a way around these problems?

Just incase you need to know, I use Milkshape 3D. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is going to be a sweet model if it can be made to work

KF just dropped me email asking to sneak a peek.. if you want to send me the unmodified ship, plus the ship w/ the engines, I may be able to give you a quick hand with it.

It'll be another of the 5 projects going on right now..

Should even be able to light the engines for you at the same time.. I've got my trusty old auction sale Max r3.1 here ready to lend a hand.. (grin)..

I tried to send you then in an E-mail but they were too big. I tried splitting tem but it would take like 5 zips.

IncursionX22,

Send Atheorhaven just your kitbashed [killerhawk/rbc].MOD file.

Atheorhaven, the two ships he's trying to send you may be d/l here:

The Atrahasis' retextured Killerhawk:

Thulls' Killerhawk:

http://www.feralyards.co.uk/files/sfc2/romulan/tmp_rbch.zip

or the Ganymad retextured version:

http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1091

IIRC: Incursion had some problems using Thull's Killerhawk to get the engines from it. If you have problems, I recommend Captain KoraH's rbc Cormorant or Goshawk to pull the engines from:

http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1086

http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1092

This will be so COOL to have an updated Imperium.

Qapla!

the first pic looks like the polys vertex direction is been rotated und the visible side of the polys is rotated to top

and i wanted to download it to to try it but the sh** stcd download alway say this:

"Due to excessive amounts of leeching you now have to download files directly from the STGD. Visit STGDs main downloads site to access this file."

Just about complete.. rendering shots to show where it's at... but engines are on all three LODs now (where before it was two only) and all three have Thus' engines and no holes in the wings. Was a bugger to do as well, but I got it.

(edit): okay, done... here's what the final result looks like.. it's a bit modifed from the original profile-wise though..

New engines

Old engines

New engines

Old engines

Another angle on the new engines..

And pretty shots..

KF, you'll be getting a PM with a pick up link in it to d/l your new ship.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2004, 06:14:30 pm »

bump so that KF knows the last msg was modified with the new pix..

Terradyhne · « **Reply #13 on:** August 06, 2004, 03:22:58 am »

this looks good but it should get a better wing pattern as there are to much free spaces on the wing texture, the one that is on the wings don't realy fit

Aren't her engines to glowy abit??

Niiice job guys. This looks great! Unfourtneatley, I'd rather use Unity's Cormorant, it just seems like a better model, except for the fact that the head ad tail doesn't have a light map. Could someone do this on the Cormorant for me and send it?

I like the Cormorant a great deal. In fact, it probably would be my choice as the replacement for the STOCK RBC except that I can't get Ganymad/Atrahasis' textures to fit right on the Cormorant. This kitbash solved that "problem" nicely for me unless WZ45 or another mod-god makes a high poly Imperium.....

Qapla!
