Something I'm considering working a fleet around.




call it an updated TOS base. I've always liked the NX nacelles - so I put those on LS's Monitor body with a standard connie saucer. The bridge model is from the NX as well. The dish is just a neat modification I liked. I want to go with an NX-like paint scheme, with blue trim (but not as heavily blue as my TMP fleet). I think this look gives me more room to get more primitive with the pre-TOS stuff, but segues nicely into TMP.

The proportions are the same as the classic 1701

In case you're still confused, that means this ship is definitely deserving of the name Constitution Class.

Fury. I only went through this thread AFTER I read your request for the Hybrid Enterprise, and I have a question. Any reason you'd make a request for it, if you already have a mesh of the ship?? (I'm just curious more than anything)

Oh and on the point of your Federation fleet. Absolutely stunning texture work. Some of them look almost like actual physical kits and not 3d models (and in almost all cases better than some of the high poly CGI versions I've come to see in the past). Makes me quite jealous  :D

He did not have a mesh of the ship at the time of asking. Since no one had it he made it, by bashing a few ships together and making what he need that was not around.

My bad FoaS, I thought you were asking help to texture it.

if all you are looking for yeah I like the look of that TOS design so far than ya looks good to me!
I don't know if I would go NX on it though I think something between the NX and TOS connie would be better. Mostly over all white with Copper Details, and silver or steel in some places to offset the copper. Not at my home PC at the moment but will try to colour some of the pics you have to see what might be a option for you. I can't guarentee any time for textures but if you map it and are getting stuck I will try to help you were I can.

I know you use PS and I use PSP, Ican save into your file type and open it. Only problem is not all the layers will transfer seperated some will merge in the conversion. I do know a way around it it means a bit more manual work then just trading files though. It is basically leaving the outline and letting the other party do the colouring.

I say, there's no reason why we can't have both FoaS and Major Payne do this ship.  The more the better.  Or do I have to use the Puss In Boots method of begging again.

Okay, let us clarify a few things.

If you look more closely at the requested ship, this isn't it - though it is close.

GAFY - I'd love to take a look at your suggestions. I'm actually thinking the same thing - Copper is just a little too primitive for a TOS-era ship.

EDIT: I can't spell...

That's quite a compliment - thank you :-).

Ah. Now you mention it and after taking a cloer look I can see the overall differences. Lets just hope I can keep the accuracy to a very high level in that case.

FoAS. In all my dealings with high and low poly models I've come to appreciate that low poly modelling can sometimes be much harder. With CGI models, whilst they can look amazing, thats all they are there for - to look at. Low poly modelling is, in itself, a hell of a much harder art form to master but when a person does the results can be breathtaking. Whilst there are plenty of great modellers who can carry out a lot of the various aspects I've onyl seen a bare handful who are capable of combining the various methods to produce these works of art that do invariably look better than CGI high poly. Even kitbashing can produce some interesting and unique models as long as you have all texture material matching (I should know as I've done a fair few kitbashes in my time), but to my mind low poly modelling is mostly far superior to high poly models simple because you need to create the best possible quality textures you can and with next to no detail in a model (when compared to hundreds of thousands of polys of detail) its the textures that count. I stand by any compliment that I make even if I have never been able to make my own textures (tried on many occasions and even had a couple of people try to give me the basics :( ).

Yup: United Earth Ship... Remember in FoaSverse the federation is less like the United States and more like the UN and NATO with its member nations/planets. They maintain independence but serve in joint missions.
