Looking good.. and now that the Reyes is done (although I did notice something I need to fix on one of lightmaps), I'm ready to start the TMP Alseides.

Have picked the components and am starting tomorrow on it..

[Azel]

Awesome job mate!!!
I salute you
And Thanks!!!
   

[atheorhaven]

np man.. and I already have "proof of concept" shots..

This is a ways from being released because there's color matching, texture rebuilding and some tweaks to the mesh yet.. but thought that you'd like to see this.. (Day 1).







Nicely shows that the torpedos would miss the nacelle supports in the back (just) plus how some of the other shots line up..

Not too bad a start..

[Tus]

looks great dude wish i was on that end of the spectrum for textures

ok and for the other part of the post, i got bored.... really bored you could say

   
thats 18 torps though  1 is hidden as it flys of in the lower right hand corner  

Tus  

[Azel]

Alec That's awesome!!!
But you need to use a Connie secondary hull and Miranda torp bays for the wings and belly
 
Tus,
THAT IS CRAZY!!!!
lol
So Cool!!!
I would hate to me on the other end lol

You mean more like this?  (grin)


And a new front shot showing the current changes:


Ans some other pretties..





So this is (I think) complete for meshing.. but I have to scare up some permissions and do some more texture work before release yet.

But I'm also planning on releasing this one differently.  Because it's so pretty, I'm going to put the textures in a seperate internal archive, with the *stock* textures for the parts in the main part.  And the seperate internal archive is going to be set up that you have to agree not to port those textures out of SFC.  This is how I'm also going to be releasing any new ships of Mackie's.  Getting kind of tired seeing work migrating to BC without appropriate credit or notification being given, so with the *stock* textures being included, there'll be no reason for any port to use my (or SFC released) textures.  They can replace them with appropriate textures from other ports, or create them.  Or quite simply, they can ask to use the custom texture pack.

And what's so cool about this texture pack?  Well, one of my experiments sort of paid off.. I now have semi-dynamic lighting in the arboritum.  When light shines in there, the ceiling, floor, and walls look like they normally do.  As the light in there gets dimmer though, the stars come out on the ceiling, the spotlights turn on on the floor, and the walls light around the doors and kind of a twilighty thing happens on the wall.  Looks kind of neat, even in Model Viewer.  

Looks something like this:



Did this a good while back on the rextexture additions I did on WZ-DTW-Hig's FCA, and I'm incorporating it into the Alseides as kind of a pre-release for WZ-DTW-Hig's FCA.  Just have to go talk to WZ about permission to release both of these.. and they'll be downloading onto a computer near you soon after.    Took this long because I was waiting on some glows to come back.. but they haven't after several months, so I'm releasing my own with it.

Again, for anyone planning to port this out of SFC...you are *not* to use the custom texture pack without permission from me, or the other original authors.  I've included stock base textures in the main archive to show you which textures I used in this kitbash, and which ones you need to beef up, rebuild, or replace with ones of your own.

[Chrystoff]

Uh, er, WOW!!!! Talk about "first kill capability."    

[Azel]

Hey thats awesome work mate!!!
But you have to change the neck back to your first attempt
That neck was more accurate

Thanks again man
   

[Azel]

   

[atheorhaven]

I'll give 'er a try, but it's likely to stretch the neck textures a lot.  But we'll see how it goes..

Other than that though.. how is it looking for you?  Do you like the rest of what I've done with the ship?

[atheorhaven]

Okay, clear your cache and look at the above pictures again.. I've replaced them with updated shots showing the new neck and various views...
