Yamato WIP (image heavy)
« on: October 15, 2005, 04:18:36 pm »
here's the lates on the BB  USS Yamato.  About all that remains is the registry ...  and the light maps.  I should be able to get the registry done by late this PM ....  AT that time I will hand it off to AV who will do the light maps.

My only gripe is just pure preference, and that is the blue rim on the saucer; Although now even, I would've prefered it "centered" on the saucer's rim, rather than be at the bottom.  Still, you've done quite a good job, I like the textures.  I have a couple of questions, however:  First, will you keep the blank saucer textures or make alternate name-and-registry textures or...? *shrug* And second, considering there's no illuminations yet, will there be an SFC1 version?

It is a total improvement on the original model; it really looks super!

But could I ask for a favor?  If so, I'd like to ask definitely for a SFC1 version of this great model.

My jaw would drop... but now it floats in space....

Could you save the blank textures for us retexture randomites to use? I'd like to have a hand at this one (if I have time :( )

I agree.   I would love to create a series of registries for this ship and pop them in game.

Oooohhh, that reminds me, I have to finish a few ships.  hehehehe  I've been lazy.

Buzz, you've done an incredible job.  I might just have to smack you over the head with a rubber chicken, kidnap you, and lock you away, making brand new textures for me ships.  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thanks for the support guys ! 

The registries are well under way ... By this time tomorrow AV will be working on the light maps.  I will be giving him two sets of folders: one with the other without registries.  How it is released is entirely up to him.  We are also colaborating on another BB (TMP era) as well.

Hang with us a few more days guys !

Thanks

Sooo, I take it she won't be available for SFC1 then?  Not that it's the end of the world if it isn't, but will it be?

Ok, who here knows about SFC1 models, aside from WZ?  Would be nice if this ship spanned all SFC games.  :-D

Just don't add any illumination maps on the model nor break model, then it should work fine in SFC1.

I can convert it over to SFC 1 just as soon as it's released for SFC 2, if requested.  :)

Takes me literally two minutes in 3dsMax once it's loaded to have both main and break mods converted over.

Let me give you an example... I'll convert over one of the latest files uploaded to Battlecllinic and time it.  :D

(And it'll give someone a SFC 1 version of their ship as well).  ;)

Start time: 12:39pm MDT, going to look for a mesh now.
Decided to look for something TOS.
Found TOS Borg Cube : 1242

Title:     TOS era Borg Cube      
Author:    See description for credits (if known)
Size:    28.63 KB
SFC Versions:    EAW
OP
Date:    17-04-05    
Sample:    Enlarge
Downloads:    18    
Description:    Borg Cube

Genre: STAR TREK :
Era: TOS.
Nationality: BORG.
Type:CUBE.
Class:BoCA .
Ship Depicted: CUBE .
-------------------------
Original mesh by - Hollis J Wood.
Original Textures - Hollis J Wood

Loaded TOS Borg Cube in 3dsmax: 1246
Exported: 1247
Break mod imported: 1248
Break mod exported: 1250

And that's about it... :)

I'm attaching pix to show the difference.. the cube is backlit to show the illumination textures.


So, easy to do once the Yamato is released, and I wouldn't have trouble doing son.  :)

Yes, they do.  The only difference between SFC1 models and SFC2 models is that SFC1 models can't have illumination maps applied to them.

Thanks guys ...  AV now has two sets of files.  One with and one W/O registries ....  Oh ...  and Chris ....  I took your suggestion to heart ... the blue strip around the primary hull covers the entire "edge".

I hope we can do as good a job on the new BB that we are starting this week.

Thanks again for the encouragement and support.
