Topic: Klingon ships ... colors

[OlBuzzard]

So, in other words if we released the model with 3 to 5 plates at either 512 or 1024 ( the larger is easier for the old man to deal with )  .. that would be cool.

As for the size of the ship ...  I have been comparing our models with the GAW mod ....  for the same reason that you have pointed out.  My son took the time (nearly a year) in prep for the release.  One of the things he insisted on was properly sizing the models.  It should be noted that the average size of some of the larger models I do may have up 6K  ....( frankly I'll need to check that figure)...

Mean time back to the issue at hand ...

I hope we can continue to review Klingon design and coloring techniques ..  this has, in fact brought me up to speed.

A quick summary, as far as I can tell:

TOS ... pretty much solid Dark Gull Gray

TMP...  Gray with Red panels / gold trim  (seems like there as one with Gray and OD Green panels)

TNG ...  OD Green and Lt Green / OD Green with Sand, Gray and  Red

Why not break with conforming to the masses and make it PINK!!!

You have also missed the Pre-TOS "Enterprise" where the studio model technique-CGI and effects for "filming" are 21st century spec, not 1966 style. The Klingons are a combination of TMP-TNG.

In game: 256x256 is all that the player can really use. For the modeller. The larger 24-bit textures are better for the modeller.

Now for pink... I have textures for the "flaming" Borg using Pink "Lego" tiles.

I've not seen a lot on those ships ...any chance you have a link for that ?

They seem to use similar textures to what was used for TMP-TNG.  I have not been over to the west coast studio since the hurricanes hit me last year. I have not done much consulting for Paramount since Trek-6. Something else to look for is the “Art Director commentaries” in the commercially distributed Star Trek DVD’s as “Extra Features.” After watching a number of these, and listening to why they did things for filming, gave me a baseline to work from. It is interesting to see the “mistakes” become “ST Cannon.”

Generally I have a pretty good "feel" for the subject..  BUT...  some of it ...  I have to rely upon resources to at extrapilate a reasonable conclusion.

While I am not a "purist" as such ..  I try to treat each design honorably with the era, or concept from that part of Trek.
