Typhon anyone..?
« on: March 18, 2006, 12:11:26 pm »
Im off my course... been in hospital for two weeks with my broken ankle, luckily enough my mate brought my lappy in and i decided to work on a ship... I decided to continue with the Typhon... Its about 80% done Im not happy with the textures at the moment but am sticking with em.

Anyone with any ref pics can you send em to me... as it is mostly right.. except the back doesnt look 100% correct...

Ive still got the mid section and the rear section  to texture.

Looks pretty good.

There is a blurred texture in the pic the lower side of the upper engine looks like it has a mapping issue. Also a way to help out with windows, use one background with the windows spaced across it to vary the background in them.
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

2 weeks in the hospital for a broken ankle? Ouch, thats a while, hope it heels up good as new. At least it doesn't effect your texturing  ;D

If this is what you put out with One broken ankle, I say go for the other one!  ;D (kidding)

Now that LOOKS like a highpoly beast...(meaning it appears more than the 7k it is, if I read that right)

Very nice... I like the attention to minor details, while keping the poly count as low as possible.

I'm somewhat reminded of the Yorktown-class Earth vessel by this aside from the bulkier hull.  It's untraditional Starfleet design, at least to me it looks that way.  Doesn't mean it's not one, but it seems too bulky.  Even the Defiant or Prometheus had curvier lines and they weren't exactly in line of normal Starfleet design lineage.  To me, the Typhon seems more like a civilian-built/ran ship, not necessarily Earth in design (though I'd guess it is due to how it reminds me of the Yorktown-class), but Federation, likely.

That's just how I feel though.  It's still a nice model and I might not pass up using it if I customize SFC2 (provided I install it) with TNG ships and a TNG-era shiplist.

I believe it's from Star Trek Invasion, a space shooter for the PSone.  It was something like Colony Wars, a very good thing.

Wow, I like this design a lot.  I have never seen this design before, but it looks like some sort of Montior type ship (slow, but lots of firepower) or something similar to that Voyager Ep. "Dreadnought" where they discover that big Automated Cardassian ship designed to destroy the Mauquie <sp>.  I'm not saying this thing is automated, but might have a large array of Torpedo weapons, Large Cargo space, and ability to take quite considerable damage.

the uss typhon is from the playstation game Star Trek invasion, she is more or less a mobile base that can launch Fighters called Valkeries(Spelt wrong), if i remember right she is supposed to be commanded by Worf, and her crew is made up of Red Squad, in the game you get to use her phaser turrets and torpedoes and fly her fighters but you never got the chance to actually fly her.

she has always been a ship ive had interest for for a long time, and one i thought that deserved a good detailed model that is close to the game and the high poly model that was shown.

Akami has done an awesome job on her and i cant wait to see her released keep it up akami she is bloody awesome
