Excelsior D retexture WIP - Updated!
« on: December 31, 2004, 02:51:12 am »
Well Azel and Atlom, etc...

You all remeber this ship! I started on her a few hours ago just to see what she would look like with a more TNG Movie look for her. So I decided to make her and it will be a long WIP process which i will probably put in here. Yes the textures are a bashed version of Smiles Tempest it was done so I could get a quick look at her.

Unknown as I work on models on my spare time, and that can change dramatically week to week.

It is some one elses model actually I am just changing out the textures on it, but I do agree I never liked he pointy buzzards either.

Updated pics!

Now have most of the Engines done as well as the top saucer done. Still have its light map to do for the upper saucer windows. But once that is done and the symbols on the engines replaced I will have the model 75% done only thing left will be the lower saucer which will be the majority of the work

Well removed waht I was doing on the bottom for the shots here. As you can see I have matched up that back grounds and finished off the top, Engines and lower Hull. Also need to sort out premissions as the readme in the Zip was a empty file. Any one remember who it was that did the orginal?

Well what you wanted to see the Pictures  ;D

Great work...and I think this is an Azel/Atolm original.

Well it is down to windows, escape pods, and a light map on the bottome then it will be done.

So hopefully a update tonight, If I get the time to work on it some more.

Here are the updated pics.

Still have the pods to add and the windows. Not really sure if I am going to though now as it is starting to look a little cluttered. Though I thimk the pods should be added I will have to test it out first and see if I like the idea. Windows need to be added just because well everyone likes to look out windows. Not going to add to many windows though, just one ring of them on the inside ring. Also added a Captains Yacht to the bottom (textured only) just because it seems what all the newer ships in the TNG area had.

Well because the texture is round and streched across to oval surface the pods don't look right so I removed them. I don't like the look of the windows on the floor so they are not going to be added. It means I have some area now that needs to filled but that will not take long. So if I can figure out permissions I will see about releasing this ship, once that is acomplished. It is set up for SFC 3 but that also means it will work in SFC 2 just the HPs will not be in a logical order.

So here are some After and Before Pictures, hopefully so some one can tell me to whom it belongs.

The Saucer ones were completely replaced and the other one is a combo of yours and mine then. Do you know who did the model and orgianl textures by any chance. The Readme for the ship is blank.

Atolm (Mesh and Concept, completely still used)
DarkDrone (orgianl Textures, some still in use)
Fallen_Warrior (reworked light Maps on orginal, some still in use)
Smiley and GotAFarmYet? (retexture Work)

The detail is looking VERY nice.  Good, crisp lines.  Hull plating work is good ...  and I like the pylons too !!

I'm taking some picts to study what you have done ( if that's cool !)
If you aim at nothing:  you WILL hit it every time !
