but now that I have been around some and I'm sorta in the know. :pirate:.

FOAS, Is that a solid model from ShapeWays.com?

Nah, the reason why I decided to go for it was because it was a really cool idea. My rendering skills aren't that great, so I want to try to stretch those out.

Nope, that is a render :) There's a way to play with the depth of field to make it all miniature like.

The give away to show it is a render is in the shadow, a miniture would not have light effects and the shadow would not be wavy like that.

Alright, here's my plan.
This week and weekend, all of my spare time is going to be dedicated to two things:
1) Helping bonk with a site project
2) Organizing and migrating my data onto that new harddrive I got.

You'd think that organization would be easy, but what I'm going to do is go into each PSD (raw texture) I have, and organizing the layers as I migrate them, cleaning up what needs to be cleaned, making my effects consistent, naming conventions, etc.

Then, The break model for Atolm and Tus
Then, I have a sig for Shadow Diver to finish

Good luck with the PSD part!

Over the years I have found with some of the things I did wrong, like adding it on a layer I was not planning on, that came out right are better left alone. Best to move on and on the next set try to make fewer mistakes and be more orginized on that one. Remaking them from scratch occasionally will help you improve as you go, you tend to look at how you approach things differently as you learn.

I'm not going to remake them all from scratch, just reorganize them all so they all make sense >.<

God, I should really make an official FoaS twitter account.

Tholians are all organized. Tomorrow I have off, and I think the project I'm working with bonk is pretty much done, so it's on to organizing the Kzinti and Klingons (not looking forward to the Klingon organization).

See why its a good idea for my to clean my harddrive? I found a Kzinti Heavy Cruiser I never quite finished, but had gotten close.

Lighting looks awsome  ;)

Being picky, and I am allowed so I think the windows lack depth  :)

Apart from that,  ITS F*C*ING GREAT  :o

Organizing my harddrive(s) is still top priority for me right now. Still chewing away on it. I'll probably be done by sunday, but its a long process.

the Kzinti directory is all cleaned up (well, I need to find out how to make 3ds Max use Relative paths for textures, instead of absolute)

Alright... Tomorrow I'm going out to see Tron Legacy again. After that its on to organize the Klingon files... and that's going to be a lot of work: 27 ships and tons of PSDs between them all... Then its on to the Federation ships.

I actually just downloaded WZ's D7. it's better than his K'T'Inga and it doesn't use 30 textures, just 7 or 8. it will mean that there will be a v3 for some klingon ships, but it also means that things will be so much easier on people's machines. Furthermore, It won't break me when I organize all my klinker ships.

BTW: How much do people like the GI-bake versions? Is it worth continuing with that workflow or should I go back to the standard look?
