Thanks. Im almost finished with the top hull, working a bit on the engines. I should have this done in a few weeks if all goes to plan.

I can't help but feel that the textures look washed out. I would darken it a tad but then up the contrast - getting your dark parts darker, but your light parts the same.

I could do that...Im going to finish them first, then I will show a few different pics with the current wash outs and the higher contrast ones and let the community decided. I would prefer more contrast, but at a distance the details are supposed to wash out completely like the original D-7.

A lot depends on lighting too. Ships are often darker in game than the standard lighting when you render (At least it is in the aps I use.)

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #44 on:** November 27, 2009, 12:50:59 am »

That depends on your ambient lighting in game (set in your INI file)

Here is the current update. Working on the aft section, then a few touch ups, finish the nacelles and its on to the ventral hull.

Raven Night · « **Reply #46 on:** November 28, 2009, 11:29:47 am »

Thanks...there is still alot to add, little detail lines in the hull panels, some discolored panels, etc.

I wanted to post a shot of my current nacelle work. Let me know what you think, note that it is a work in progress, so there are areas that are not fully textured yet...but this gives you the idea of where I am going.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #47 on:** November 28, 2009, 11:32:42 am »

Looks good, even though I'm not big on using green for klingons

Raven Night · « **Reply #48 on:** November 30, 2009, 02:31:18 pm »

I could definitely do that.

Here is the work sofar on the crew module/forward torp. I tried to keep a traditional D-7 look (plainish hull, a few raised panels, yellow around the launcher). Let me know if you think this is the right direction to go.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #49 on:** November 30, 2009, 02:42:53 pm »

Works well

Good luck on getting those seams to line up

Raven Night · « **Reply #50 on:** November 30, 2009, 06:27:52 pm »

I could try the orange-red windows....I just noticed on most late TMP/Early TNG the windows on Klingon vessels were greenish-white, whereas late TNG they were either pure white or redish orange. I was going to go with a red hue for the late TNG version (which will have textures closer to the E-7 BTW).

And here is the lineup...I think it matches ok, but you guys be the judge.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #51 on:** November 30, 2009, 06:50:12 pm »

Seam looks good.

Raven Night · « **Reply #52 on:** December 01, 2009, 05:30:51 am »

Thanks.

Here is a forward shot. Almost done with the crew module.

Almost looks like a studio model...

Nicely done for a post/TNG Klingon ship.

Qapla'

Yes, this would be late TMP, just when the armor changes were beginning. If it was earlier I would have had much more of the hull with no paneling at all. I might still do a pure TMP version, but I prefer to plug the places where there was never a show or movie.

The second texture set I do with the more modern engines will be the early/late TNG to NE (new era) vessel.

Raven Night · « **Reply #55 on:** December 02, 2009, 11:32:25 am »

Your welcome

Ok, I decided to make the windows pure white, after seeing some vid caps that showed them in white. Let me know if you think this is better than greenish.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #56 on:** December 02, 2009, 11:35:35 am »

I think so, yes.

Starforce2 · « **Reply #57 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:26:38 pm »

actualy technicly the interior lighting of a klingon would be orange hue of some kind. I don't think we've ever seen a bright or white lit klingon interior.

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #58 on:** December 05, 2009, 10:48:23 am »

Very nicely done looking forward to its release .
would make a nice X ship

Dizzy · « **Reply #59 on:** December 05, 2009, 11:23:07 pm »

That's bad ass. Model rocks. My vote is for green or orange windows. Orange preferably. White windows look too clean on a klink ship... Green kinda seems too Romish, Orange is just right for a klink. Either that or a redish hue.
