cool

have you thought about chamfering the edges on the wings and stuffs?

Starforce2 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 29, 2008, 11:38:37 pm »

nifty!

Rod ONeal · « **Reply #3 on:** August 30, 2008, 12:13:34 am »

Cool Atolm design (as always). Great execution. It does beg for a higher poly version, but for game resolutions this is great.

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #4 on:** August 30, 2008, 06:33:45 am »

now that's looking pretty

I have thought about it. what technique works the best in this regard? i was thinking that you would extrude the relevent edges and then decrease there size somewhat to effect the chamfer.

altom: two questions for you...1. did you have a name in mine for this lady; 2. are your designs posted up somewhere. i used to have a link to site but they don't seem to be there any longer.

now for the texturing...grrrr...maybe raven should make us a texturing tutorial and teach us all some of his skills.

well you could select all the pertant edges you want to chamfer and do it that way. If your mesh is all quads it is actually very clean

i decided to forgo the champhering at this time...

a quick look at the texturing.

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #8 on:** September 07, 2008, 07:03:43 pm »

A quick update

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2008, 09:28:41 pm »

In a word - FANTASTIC! She's gonna be an excellent addition to my Rommie collection. Nice job PM!

Rod ONeal · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2008, 10:04:32 pm »

Too cool for words, Pepperman.

Hey Pep that's looking real good mate!

pepperman · « **Reply #17 on:** September 28, 2008, 07:56:00 am »

Fear not ole friend, that will be done. Wanted to get all the panel lines and the like done first

I'm not afraid, you have single handedly tackled some of my more advanced ideas, and that is rather daring

pepperman · « **Reply #19 on:** September 30, 2008, 08:08:36 pm »

Almost done...

pepperman · « **Reply #20 on:** October 04, 2008, 10:21:15 pm »

Okay, as far as I am concerned she is finished. Who wants to set her up for SFC, BC or Legacy.

pepperman · « **Reply #21 on:** October 04, 2008, 10:42:43 pm »

Here is another view

Kreeargh · « **Reply #22 on:** October 05, 2008, 12:22:57 am »

Frickin Beautiful

Don Karnage · « **Reply #23 on:** October 05, 2008, 07:54:18 am »

this is good

is it another one or its the same?

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #24 on:** October 05, 2008, 09:19:27 am »

Yeah that's Damned Pretty Mate.
Thank You.

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #25 on:** October 05, 2008, 10:17:32 am »

that is very sweet

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #26 on:** October 05, 2008, 10:25:20 am »

I'll port her into SFC -- with pleasure! If you have suggested specs just send them with her and I'll attempt to make the HP/DPs match as close as possible. My email is in my profile.

She is awesome PM - thanks for sharing!

pepperman · « **Reply #27 on:** October 05, 2008, 01:12:19 pm »

Shadowfleet,

Thanks for the offer to port her to SFC. Do you want me to sent the milkshape file and bmp files or would you prefer that I export it out in some other format.

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #28 on:** October 05, 2008, 04:38:17 pm »

I'm honored PM. I wish I could model instead of just kitbashing and porting. You have great talent.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd prefer 3ds with bmp textures. I use Max 4.2 to do the kitbashes I've posted. I'm going to have surgery tomorrow but should be back home by Tuesday. If all goes well - I can port her, beta test in a SFC3 skirmish, and email her back to you or upload direct to Battleclinic by the the end of the week. Just let me know what you prefer and send a copy of the readme you'd like included if you want me to upload it.

pepperman · « **Reply #29 on:** October 05, 2008, 07:59:59 pm »

Shadowfleet, I started out kitbashing...lol and I am still learning. I actually tried to make this beastie several times and never could get it right.

I will send you the files sometime on Monday. After you get her HP'd and tested go ahead and submit it to Battleclinic. Ill include a shell readme which you can amend with your particulars.

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #30 on:** October 08, 2008, 01:58:08 pm »

I'm back home and almost done with conversion. PM - Check your email when you can.

pepperman · « **Reply #31 on:** October 08, 2008, 02:50:47 pm »

Re-export and sent. Oh by the way, I generated this one up for the Legacy guys to show weapons placement...maybe it will help.

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #32 on:** October 09, 2008, 09:41:55 pm »

Finished converting to SFC3, flew and fought her in a skirmish and just uploaded to Battleclinic. She looks nice in game. Thanks PM.

SFC 3 conversion by Shadowfleet

Version 1.0 (stock warbird replacement SFC3)

Date: 06 Oct 2008

=============================================
Romulan ships are arguably the most beautiful ships in the known galaxy and the Ael' hlaiim Class Warbird is no exception. This multi-mission orientated vessel is quite capable to deal with situations that would normally require many vessels to complete. As such, she stands ready to serve the Imperium.

If anyone finds errors let me know and I'll fix 'em. Pain killers can effect your attention to detail ya know...

Rod ONeal · « **Reply #33 on:** October 09, 2008, 11:12:42 pm »

Just DL'd it. Real nice job. Beautiful design well executed.

MajorRacal · « **Reply #34 on:** October 10, 2008, 05:17:56 am »

Yeap - fantastic job. This was one of my favourites from that run of designs, and I hope you've got a few more up your sleeve.

pepperman · « **Reply #35 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:42:13 am »

Looks great...makes me wish I had SFC.

Thanks Shadowfleet and I would like to thank Atolm for his wonderful design work and Achilles for the inspiration to complete this one.

Now where are those printouts...need to figure out what my next project will be...seems like there was another one from this series that I started but mever completed. lol

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2008, 10:13:27 am »

Thanks FW. This was my first attempt at original illumination maps. Any help/hints are appreciated.

Special Thanks to Pepperman for making her a reality and to Atolm for imagining her.

PM - how about this little baby. She's one of my all time favorite Atolm designs. I think she'd look great with the other Ael'series designs. I'd be honored to convert her for you. I'll be laid up for another three weeks and have instant time available at your beckoning.

pepperman · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2008, 06:29:25 pm »

think I may work on finishing this one next....somehow it slipped through the cracks

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #38 on:** October 10, 2008, 07:47:14 pm »

EGGSELLENT!

Reverend · « **Reply #39 on:** October 14, 2008, 11:09:57 am »

Been out for a bit... came back- just like before Pepperman- when I saw this I did five minutes of Quagmire-isms... Wwwhhooaa...wwhhoooaaa.giggity! Giggity!

That one you're working on is quite fine, love it....

but I agree with Shadowfleet, I always like the design he (re)posted too; remember when Atolm drew that up a few years ago, love it ever since...

Thanks for the magnificent work Pep in bringing another needed exotic beauty to life; we owe you.
