Don't say that just yet.  When I make a half way decent Sovereign, then you can say that.  Hey, wanna help mapping this lady?????

I'm hip deep in the MMO project. I haven't even installed max since my last format three weeks ago :-/

Ummm...I think in my case they'll let me post nude pictures of anything except myself.

Excellent model.  Trust me, I've seen FAR worse.

You should show them the MSD... Or better yet I will XD

[atheorhaven]

That's a damn sweet MSD.  That's one area I'd *like* to learn to do..  but don't even know where to start..

Unify the mesh mate, and I will map it for you.

(im not gonna map an un unified model)

[Centurus]

Then it's not gonna get mapped then.  I am not gonna unify the mesh.

[markyd]

Im not going to sing your praises with the Violins, but you have come a long way, unifiied meshes are a pain, technical and are an art. YOU need that skill so learn it!!   Once you do, mapping to your mesh will be perfect and error free 

Dont give up now.. 

[FoaS_XC]

Unifying meshes also make it a pain to kitbash with. I know it's strengths, but I can understand why a lot of people don't like doing it.

Would this be welding/merging of mesh parts to make a single hollow in center model?  If so even pros dont do it on ALOT of game meshes. Look at stock legasy and Bc models not ALL of them are perfect holllow centerd . Proof is in the pudding/mesh 

[Centurus]

I started out as a kitbasher.  Even though to some degree I can't think like one anymore, I know what it was like for me coming on parts I couldn't use cause of holes due to unified components.  There are a few holes in this ship, but only where necessary.  If somenone were to use this ship for kitbashing, I'd like for them to be able to have quite a few viable components.

Good model Centurus.

Kreeargh, the reason professionals do not do it is because of 2 reasons;

   1. Time limitations on the project

   2. Because the mesh does not need it and has animation involved or acceptable facial collisions.

Personally I prefer unified as it shows a huge talent, but I can see the advantage in them not being that way in certain circumstances. 

[markyd]

So what happened with this one?

[Centurus]

No mapper mainly.  Plus, I haven't had much time on the main computer due to school.  This theatre class I'm taking is really taking a lot of my time, and I'm also struggling to not fall behind in my real estate class.

HOLY THREAD REVIVALS!!!!

Well, it's been almost a year since I last made a post, but now there's something worth posting about.

With the help of WileyCoyote, the ship is now mapped, and with the help of Bones, she's almost completely textured.  I've been holding off on posting updates till the textures were more or less completed.

Here she is, U.S.S. Resurrection, NCC - 1796, with textures 99% completed.

P.S.
