I've discovered how in disarray my models folder really is. This is going to take a couple days >.<

My model folder is in a hell of a state too... I  also need to reorganise the texture folders that go with them... Mysteriously I always seem to find "more important" things to do whenever I start tidying things up.

For those of you who have had scaling issues in the past and need a solution, check out these scripts I wrote last night. First a video tutorial on how to use them.

The scripts themselves can be found here
They are known to work in 3ds Max 9. They are fairly simple, so they should work in most versions.

Very very nice.  I know this should come in handy.

Hey centurus, I'm actually uploading that Saucer Unwrapping tutorial as we speak. It should be up in about 20 minutes.

I lied. Youtube keeps rejecting it due to length. I'll have to rerecord after work tonight.

Very much appreciated.  I'm still trying to do the rest of the mapping for the Demphir.  So far so good.  Not sure if it's right, but the mapping is holding.

Detroyat is retexed



I told you the Destroyat would look great :)

At this point I wish there was a lot more variety in the stock SFC fleet in regard to classes. With so many new ships and eras they belong in I wish the game had the depth necessary to show the periodic refits and evolution of an already large space fleet.

FoAS, have you tried to re-create some of the other Abrams ships with kitbashed parts? There were several sub-classes seen in the new movie aside from the connie and kelvin classes. All were destroyed, but they had some pretty neat designs...

There's one or two JJ-frankenfleets that I look at and say "okay" (the one with two hulls, a saucer, and a nacelle, for example (Edit: It is known as the Newton-type)). I already have plans for a Pre-TOS fleet.

Update: I have my TMP fed folder mostly organized. I had to write a few scripts to reassign the textures, so that no two ships share textures (that lets me change one without changing another). I've ironed out half of my TOS fleet fed directory.

The jj fleet can't be any worse than the Wolf 359 kitbashes. Of the latter, the only design I liked and thought made sense was the New Orleans.

Do you have any plans for the Hydrans or Lyrans? And what of TOS ships for the klinks?

There's a couple wolf 359 i like: Cheyenne, New Orleanse, Springfield. Really the only one's I didnt like was the Niagara and the Freedom.

I do have plans for the Hydrans, Lyrans, Gorn, and a ton of others. I don't have any TOS klinks quite yet. I think I'm going to go find Desty Novas fleet and see if I can't up the umph factor on those.

Actually, Now that I am thinking about it. Atolm's Pre-TOS Klink fleet is mighty tempting to use as TOS klinks instead....

When might we expect the balance of the Mirak/Kzinti fleet? Specifically, a new fighter to replace the hideous stock model?

Not really sure, yet. If history hasn't shown it well enough, I have a tendency to bounce around. There will be a time, to be sure, when I bounce back to the Kzinti.

I've decided to scratch the Coronado. Atra's model is a little rough to work with. Perhaps I will remake it, but not really sure.

Pretty much done. I think I'm going to try something a bit different when I go to bake the textures as far as grunge goes.
