Lighting maps would be added under the Self-Illumination node.

Thanks FOAS!

I've finished the upper-wing and its front and back edges, and the lighting.

Too much? Maybe I should blur the gold parts?

Alright! Gotta call it a day. Might be a couple days before I'm back in earnest.

Looks really nice. Still needs the K' t'inga warp refit...

Have you considered using the Hajwe KCV kitbash pods on the bottom of the D-9?  Those pods have Stock kfts in them.

I was thinking that the out swept wings of the D-9 lent themselves to that type of external, thu-deck  carrier pod configuration. Fighters launch and are retrieved under the D-9 body without risking a direct collision with the main ship or the main weapon arcs... of course I'd have a disruptor or two under the pods to protect the hangar pod(s)

That configuration, IMHO is a better carrier design than say using the D-10 and its launch rate would be better too!

Alright, here we go! Zgal Class Light Cruiser v 1.0. If I can solve the other issues, I'll release a v 2.0 . . . likely a newer nacelle version too.

Thanks Fury for the tutorial, it's crazy how close I was to doing the right thing by just playing around with the Material Navigator and Editor.  :huh: The tutorial gave me the last piece I was missing, literally. Its a pretty decent tut. too, I was able to jump through and listen here and there and find what I wanted in seconds. The "revelation" may have opened the door to a couple of old problems being revisited and making KF's engine upgrade on the Zgal possible.

Nice!

There is definitely room for 2 hangar pods under the Z'gal.

This will be great because I can free up the D10 now from the carrier slot...

Awesome work.

Here's the D9 with refit nacelles, sadly the textures appear to have been wrapped around the mesh for the engines in pairs .  . . so as seen in the 2nd picture, there is a slight problem.

A little experimentation on the nacelles.

You've got a bit on your nacelle that is begging for a ring or loop or something.

I'm in total agreement with you there, the problem has been putting a greeblie there that breaks it up but that's small enough it doesn't appear on the front of the nacelle.  :(

Also, I've been working on the impulse drive and the boom.

stunning, im seriously enjoying your thread, the reuse of old models is fantastic, your texture style is very klink and still clean, whilst still having that almost grunge feel :)

Thank you! I certainly think that these are a definate improvement since my Baq experiment.

The imulse drive is complete, the upper wing and the nacelles. Although I may add something to the edges of the engines (top and bottom).
