Stop me if I'm wrong - but didn't smomeone model this?
« on: May 08, 2009, 10:26:29 am »


I remember hearing that someone was working on this guy - did it go anywhere - is it up for download?

I remember someone did a retexture of an existing TOS Connie, but I never saw this ship actually meshed.  You thinking of making it from scratch, cause if you are, I WANT IT!!!!

To the best of my knowledge and the Years I've spent on this Forum that  Picture has never been modeled.  ;D

Not that I would mind seeing it come to life for SFC Op  YCA has a nice ring  ;D

I'd definately want this model made.  Too bad this design didn't make it into Trek 11.

Its been on my to-do list since I first seen it a couple of years ago but at the time I felt I wasn't anywhere near good enough to attempt it. I will, however, give it another go in the next weeks or so. So Fury. What kind of poly count and detailing had you in mind??

The most closest model I could think of is Auduril's USS Phoenix:

It's a different design, though.

the Intrepid was made which has simular engines, but I am sure I would have this one if it was available for SFC, and I can't finf it on my HDD.

Well it could be a while but I've started work on the model. Be warned though. I'm working with the original images that are on the CrimsonLine website and the high poly mesh seen as a WIP there is a bit different to the posted image above. I'm going for an intermediate detailed mesh but the textures might be something that will take a bit longer to sort out. I'm also estimating the poly count to be around 7.5-8000. Once I'm done then I'll give a hollar for someone to convert it.

Well it seems that my initial estimate for the poly count was a bit premature. I've currently completed the nacelle meshes, saucer support (about 80% complete) and saucer (about 60% complete) and the mesh stands at around 4190 polys. I won't be skimping on the detail with this as I would like to see if I can produce a better mesh than my Achilles (Stargate model, not the trek ship).

Appologies for the quality of the attached pic, but I don't use 3dmax for my modelling.

If you turn that stepped area right after the Bussards into textured steps, you can save probably at least 500 polyes. Well meshing all the details will decrease the details you have to texture, placing some of the details as textures reduces the polies to where you need them

I know GaFY. This is just the first modelled version. With higher poly I do at least two revisions.
