Mapping U.S.S. Enforcer....
« on: December 14, 2024, 04:07:21 am »
I tried several times to post in my old WIP thread, but the server doesn't seem to want me to.  Not sure if this new thread will post.

More than half the ship is mapped.  Main hull, bridge, nav dome, pylons, rollbars, weapons pods, phasers, torpedoes, phaser cannons, all mapped.  I've mapped 90% of the main deflector.

All that's left really to do, the twin deflectors and warp engines.

Then, the task of finding someone to make textures.....
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

I do have a video someone in our community made long long time ago on how to map a mesh in max. I used it for kitbashing but never in mapping a model from scratch. It’s too time consuming imo. I rather kitbash lol
Your new Miranda variant is beautiful btw.
If you have discord come join mine so you can see the progress. When I log in the computer later I will upload the video I mentioned above.

I believe I already joined your discord.  I saw your video in another post from several days ago, about a revamped Sol system for SFCOP.  I said hello in the discord.  :)

I'll make some renders in a bit and post here to show the mapping progress.  I am very grateful to Wiley for teaching me how to map.  It's made my life a little easier with model making.

I tried posting an update, but the server wouldn't let me post.  Hoping this post goes through.

Mapping almost done.  Working on the warp engines.  After that, mapping is finished!
