TITAN WIP thread 2 UPDATED PICS 11/26/04
« on: October 31, 2004, 11:46:08 am »
OK, started a new one so y'all can find the relevant pics easier. ;D It's been a couple of months since I did anything on this, and I started out this time re=working the saucer. Here's a couple of pics of that...notice, I already fixed the nacelles, still need to re-work thw pylons and try to refine the 2ndary shape. When I start texturing her, I probably won't post wip pics...if there's something about the textures you don't like, then change 'em after d/ling. ::)

Here's a couple of pics...

Oh I get it: Female personnel in the primary hull (pink); male personnel in the secondary hull (blu). Kirk wouldnt like that arrangement ;D

Looks like its gonna be a nice ship Sman, aesthetically speaking.

Just a quick note...I've started the texturing, and been in contact with Buzz...as I stated before, I won't be showing the WIP work on the texturing...too many different views and opinions, threw me for loop last time. :P Slow going at the moment, as once again I'm fighting pneumonia...I love having emphysema, getting sick all the time, Great stuff. ::) :'( Oh well, this is kinda theraputic, as long as I don't get too stressed about it, lol. ;D

Anyway, after I get approval regarding the saucer textures, I'll post pics. ;)

sandman, are you using a  spline tut?  I have a very basic one for saucers, but  not for anything else.
if any of the tuts are compatable with max3 send them to starforce2@bcfiles.com wtf I  might as well give  ona  shot.

I'm feeling good, thx for asking. ;D Friday was my last day off until next Friday, so not much online time, sorry for delay in getting the tut out...sending right after this. :P

SF2...yeah it's a spline tut...well shapemerge, but you use splines with it. ;D Sending a tut your way also. ;)

NP guys...you can also get a good video tut on splines at http://www.simplymax.com...you have to join, and I think the tut is like 3 dollars or something, but it's 45 minutes long and explains a lot. ;D

OK, I said no pics of texturing til done, but for some reason when I send these to Buzz and Azel I get a delivery failure message, so...

please keep suggestions realistic. ;) These still need some tweaking, this kis just to get an idea for placement.

OK, here's a little more. Redid the reg as per Azels suggestion and left off the stroke as per MarkyDs suggestion. ;D

I'm having a slight problem with PS right now...it keeps crashing on me. :banghead: When it does, I lose a lot of work...even saving the file doesn't really help, cause it gets corrupted. :banghead: :banghead: I think it's because I'm doing 1024x1024 textures, and my machine can't handle them...so, I'm gonna convert to 512x512 and see if that helps. :skeptic:

I know, I know, some of you laugh at the "curse" business, but it seems like this is going the way of the Melak (crosses fingers, rubs rabbits foot, strokes four-leaf clover ;D). I'm determined to get this done, so don't worry. ;)

Anyway, here's the pics...

not really, though if you mess w/ the points with the pen tool you can make the shapes curvy (its on of the tools for the pen, it looks like a this ^ ) it will let you select points and make the line curvie... hope that help some

OK, here's a few more pics...saucer's almost done, then on to the hull hopefully...remember, I got this far before and then...blooey! ;D And yes, I know some of the stuff is off center...I'll fix that during the final tweaking...just trying to get stuff in place right now. :P

Anyway, here ya go...

Ok!!!
the top looks good...I would make the shuttlebay 50-60% wider
The bottom needs the trench too like the top...but thats it for the meshing aspect
Sweet work thus far mate

Apart from that... damn fine work  ;D

Whats growing? :skeptic: :rofl: Thanx Buzz, though I know that what people are really waiting for is to re-texture this baby and do her justice...my textures are ok as a placemap, but someone will re-do her and then she'll really shine. :-\ ;D

OK, here's a little look with the bottom trench textured in instead of meshed...what do you think, acceptable?

is the gray areas for the escape pods..  ??  ( just asking)

The one thing I see as a suggestion would be to straighten up the windows, make them a tad smaller, add more rows  ( especially around the edges ...  making some them diffenent shapes: square or retangular ) ..  that would make this ship look larger in scale)

Other wise ..  thsi looks great bud !
