Progress has been pretty steady today. If all goes well, I should have her uploaded by tomorrow night. I duplicated Rick's textures fairly closely in a couple of places, both as a bit of a nod to a master and because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Great job

Nice!! I can't wait to get home, get it loaded, and then blow it up!

Here's the very modest beginings of a freighter/tug. I decided to use Atra's because it was the smoothest available model overall and Terra's N5 will look superb next to it in game. Like a smaller, more modern variation on the same design.

Nice

The thing I think I'm enjoying the most so far are your choices. Taking ships from different modellers and achieving a unified look can be tricky, and you're doing an awesome job with it. It's kind of like online pR0n for the Klingon lovers.

Again, really enjoying the updates.

Thanks! I'm going to try to complete at least 2 of each main vessel class to provide some variety.

The nacelles and outer pylons are completed, the "Magnetic Attractor Plates" and "Space Matter-Energy Sink" are done and the shuttlebay is finished. I intend to move the "Impulse Exhaust Port" and make a more traditional 2 port set up. (that way the shuttles won't get fried when coming in to land)

Blargh - we need to teach you to unwrap, these limitations would drive me up a wall - can't imagine what they're doing for you.

I hit a snag with this guy as well. $:-\$

I was quite happy to discover; however, that Atra did the original texturing in a manner that lent itself well to future editing.

I was able to simply add a map.

looking really good

keep up the great work

The Northern Star · « **Reply #174 on:** July 17, 2011, 01:36:04 pm »

Upper-hull almost complete.

The Northern Star · « **Reply #175 on:** July 17, 2011, 08:23:02 pm »

I've completed the nacelles, the upper-pylons, the upper-hull, and the engineering/shuttlebay deck. That's with the applicable lightmaps.

Chrystoff · « **Reply #176 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:08:25 am »

Looks great! What plans do you have for cargo pods?

The Northern Star · « **Reply #177 on:** July 19, 2011, 10:47:23 am »

Haven't gotten too concerned about the pods yet, wanted to just concentrate on the ship first. I want to maintain consistency between the two tugs though.

The Northern Star · « **Reply #178 on:** July 21, 2011, 12:34:23 am »

The command pod and neck are nearly complete. Had some trouble with the underside of the neck as the texture is skewed and stretched there but that's understandable because there were no details there on the original model. Still have to do the hull plating on the sides of the command pod but mostly small things and clean-up otherwise . . . then I'll be on to the edges and underside of the hull.

I've thrown in a picture of the ship with the existing cargo pods but I intend to re-texture them as well, possibly even make two or three variations with different color choices and family symbology.

. . . and the rest.
