Okay, teaser shot is done.. and Bernard now has a body. 

Probably a couple more tweaks yet.. I found not too bad an interior shot that I am working off for the interior.  But this shows you about where the illumination maps are right now.  The cool thing is that you'll not see these normally, Bernard only comes out when its dark out. 

[ModelsPlease]

Looking good so far Alec. I found 2 great screenies that should help you with the illuminations. I attached them to this post

Cool, that'll help.. I had found this one which is what I was working off.. but these others will help as well.

Which version of the game are you making this for?

If it is for SFC3, I can do my transparency trick and set the starfleet personnel back a bit so that it does not look like they are crammed against the window.

Should be released (I think) for all versions, MP has a lit and non-lit version, and I can do up glows and _??.BMP shots for it for SFC 3.

We should get together on IM one of these weekends, I'd like to learn that trick, it's one I don't know yet.

  When I get home from work I can send you the full size picture that My avatar was made from this you can then
cut and crop what you dont need and scale to suit. I also have shots of me standing in uniform if your interested.

That'd definitely be better, to get the full body shot of you, I added your avatar photo to a shot of Bill Shatner's TWOK uniform up on auction. 

It didn't turn out too bad.. but it'd be better to get an actual full shot.

Agreed, let's get together the three of us. Absolutely do a version for SFC 3 IM as I've done a SFC1 and SFC2 version so far.

Hi Alec
  I've sent you the Pictures to your hotmail account let me know if you get them. Hey thats a pretty good photo shop job
I like it 

[Fallen_Warrior]

im up for helping aswell on this, maybe a weathered version to match the ST:IV that looks fairly beaten

[Fallen_Warrior]

ok im working on the textures, there was a couple of mapping issues, because of the way the textures are made. so im tweaking them to align everything up right (its only a pixel differnce in places but enough to get me wanting to get it perfect. once ive done that i will get to making the weathered version

[Fallen_Warrior]

ok i kinda just realized the reference pic i was working from is a different variant of pod, i noticed just as i started the lightmap for the altered texture.
MP or Alec, think it might be possible to remap the pod to accept the updated texture?

ive included the texture and lightmap in jpeg so people can see what ive done. and ive also thrown in the rar with the bmps

I'll see what I can do with it later on tonight, the weekend was a write-off for me trying to get anything done other than family stuff.  :p  (Two Christmas parties and buying our son a computer for school ate a good amount of time).  :/

[atheorhaven]

Sorry for the delay on my part.. the only reason why I have anything new to post is because I'm having a less busy day at work and had a chance to work on a few things. 

Here's a shot of the SFC 3 glow (just went with a mild basic one.. the light on the bottom)  and this shows off a bit of the illumination textures.  Light source is on the window, so you're not seeing the interior.

[ModelsPlease]

SFC III ? Does that mean the SFC 1 and 2 versions are done already ?

[atheorhaven]

SFC III ? Does that mean the SFC 1 and 2 versions are done already ?

Well, it does mean that any tweaks that I do on the illumination maps will be for both, yup. 

I am going to clean up the main texture a bit if you don't mind.. I would like this to be as clean as possible before I send it over.  I can vectorize a majority of the texture, and that'll clean it up a lot.  And then once that's complete, and I've done a few more things, I'll send both maps your way.

Btw, I've tried remapping the mesh for FW, and I keep munging it up for some reason.. :p

[Fallen_Warrior]

oh well no biggy then as long as we can get it looking as good as possible im fine

[Bernard Guignard]

hello Atheorhaven
  Did you get those pictures that I sent you ?

[atheorhaven]

I did Bernard.. but I decided eventually that if I used some of those, it wouldn't work quite as well as what I had. 

And I'd stretch the other occupant of the Pod too much if I did.. so I left it as is. 

On the plus side though, I've just sent MP email with the finished Pods for SFC 1, SFC 2, and SFC 3 attached. 

Next stage is up to MP.. I'd imagine credits and release, but F_W had also offered to help on this as well.. (?)

[Fallen_Warrior]

ive only done some texture and lightmap tweaks

[atheorhaven]

The question is.. did you want to add your texture tweaks to what I've done as well?  I have no problems with that..

Btw, I sent Navigator a copy of this directly, as I'm now hoping to see some updated screenshots of the TMP spacedock using the new TravelPod.

Thank you ModelsPlease, atheorhaven, and Fallen_Warrior!

Alec,

I got your email and downloaded the pod.  I will post some screen shots as soon as possible.

Fantastic, same as in email, look forward to seeing the screenies.

ModelsPlease,

Your original Travel Pod had 2 versions, a large version and a scaled down version.  Your latest update of the Travel Pod only has the large version.  Is there any chance you could also provide a scaled down version.  The large version is about the height of the pylon that connects the Enterprise Primary Hull (the Saucer) to the Secondary Hull (the Cylinder).

Navigator, let me know if the new MOD file needs to be converted to SFC 1.

ModelsPlease,

Thank you for the scaled down version.  However, now the large version of the Travel Pod is no longer in the file.  You may want to include both the large version and the small version of the Travel Pod for others to use in SFC.  Fortunately for me I have both versions for SFC1.


Thanks again,
