Anyone have an idea about how long I should make this ship?

[Adonis]

According to Jeff Russel's starship dimensions, she's 63m's long.

w00t!

Serenity!

Looking wonderful low-poly IM.

I'd imagine she's no bigger than a PF, honestly.

Thanks Norse.

Thanks Adonis, I checked out merzo.net, I think I will go with the 63 meters.

She runs in the 930's polygon-wise. A good little throw-away ship that you can attach to some of your stations, astroids, deralicts, etc.

It might be fun to do a Reaver version with a man and gun on top, but I am not motivated to do that yet.

I found Serenity:

OK, guys, you can download the ship here:

www.freewebs.com/interstellarmachine/firefly.zip

Also, if anyone wants to convert it to other games or make a break model for it, feel free!

This version also compatible with SFC 1 if anyone happens to play that.

[sierracharlie]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_(Firefly_vessel) puts the length at 82 meters.

Is this little beauty going to find it's way to battleclinic?

Do you mind if I work on some illums for it for SFC2 and 3.. and maybe make a slight alteration to the main and damage textures? (am *not* saying that what you have is crap btw!  It's just missing a few details)..

Want to make them look closer to this:


Getting the extra lighting will help I think.  But if you say no, I'll stop now. 

Won't be able to do the green/red lights though, looks like the mesh is using a mirrored texture.. but everything else I should be able to do..

[intermech]

Go for it, my goal was to have a firefly available and I have achieved that. Fix it up as best you can. On the Red and Green light thing, there is not harm in having two textures, one green and one red and then asigning different textures to each side. If you make separate textures, I would be happy to split the mesh so that they can both be matched. Also, this site has really high resolution top, bottom, front, back, and side views of the ship which should be pretty easy to graft onto my existing texture if you like: http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/FireflyTransport Unfortunately I found them after I released the model. Good luck!

Isn't that always the way that it goes..

Thanks for the permission.. I'll see if I can't snap something together..

[atheorhaven]

Beginning illums.. mesh now has SFC 2 and SFC 3 versions available with illumination.  And break mods are done for all versions.

[atheorhaven]

Thaniks.. worked off this for the back for the illuminations:
