I've also been wanting to do the Saratoga from Space: Above and Beyond, so you might be seeing more non=Trek stuff from me...kinda trekked out.

Are you planning on doing an ISSAPC and a SA-43 Hammerhead?  Maybe a few Chig ships.  I have good reference images for some of them.
Honestly I wasn't, but I could...what's a space carrier without fighters? :P

OK, just about done with the fore section. Question for ya...would it look better with bump and spec maps? If so, how do you do 'em and apply 'em? Thanx for any help.

OK, when I'm done with her I'll send you the file. What I really want is to learn more right now...for example, the base hull texture is one I made meself, rather than using Pataflafla's generic one like I usually do, and I think it looks pretty good. :) I see some of the really good textures out there, and they have bump/spec maps and I'm ready for the next level. ;)

It would look great with bump mapping... although sfc doesnt support it? so it would look regular ingame.. but for renders bump mapping rocks!

Bump mapping works on the same principle as a lightmap... although the darker the line the more prominent the bump will be, the lighter the line... less bump...

so a white jpeg with black dots would make a dotty bump map... you have to play with bumpmaps, but they look gr8  ;D

PS THANKS for the file ;)

Other way around.

actually, its kinda both.

128-grey changes nothing, Black lowers the surface while white raises it.

Is it true that you can make a copy of your base texture, posterize or some such and use that as a bump? And how do you apply it? Thanx for the help. :)

Never thought of that...Iliked the bevel/emboss because it gives it that indented window look...maybe together? I'll play with it...thanx for the suggestion. :)

you can apply your texture as the bump map, the only problem is that if you have a font in white, it bumps that, windows are bumped etc... it can look quite scruffy  ;)

and as FOAS said it is the other way round :D rofl been a while since i did a bump map....  :)

Cant wait to see how this turns out as I love the x303  ;)

you might want to try upping the contrast of the panels just a bit, or maybe darkening certain areas, just to give it a bit more dynamics

very nice indeed!

Okay just so I am not totally out of the loop, Greebels are that fine mesh detail you have added to the surface areas correct? If so man that must be a nice plug-in.
