Triton Class WIP
« on: December 10, 2007, 06:04:42 pm »
This is an old design.  I used to make my own toys as a kid, and this was one of the first spaceships I made from scratch.  She's got a lot of basic geometry because I originally made the toy from cardboard.  Just like way back when, this ship's teaching me how to make better models, only now on my PC.

I've updated the design a time or two (if I went with the original look she'd look a bit too bland), and this is what I've got so far.  I'd say the model's about 75% finished, as I want to add a couple weapons turrets that I have yet to make.

I'd never named her, but I think I'm gonna name the ship class Triton.

Dude... if you wanna name it the Triton, name it the Triton. 95% of the FASA Fed designs sucked anyway. ;D

There's been a development here.

For some reason, 3DS will not apply textures...I've tried everything I could find, read about a dozen tutorials, but the damn thing
will...not...cooperate.  I can't even assign placeholders.  The model is finished, all it needs is texturing, but until I can pinpoint just what the problem is, it's stuck on the ground.

Try this.. export it as a .3ds, close down Max, restart it and then reimport it.  Should work then.  If that doesn't, send me the .3ds file and a list of texture names and I should be able to assign some spots for textures and then will send you back the file when complete..

Don't bother checking out my website for the most recent updates, because I've
been too lazy to update it!  Check Battleclinic!

It looks cool and would make for a good Free Trader, Police Cutter or Corvette, maybe even a Pirate.

It is kind of part Klingon, part Federation in style, so could be passed of as either race.

The Feds could do with a more modern Police Cutter, in TMP, to replace the aging century old Leviathan Class. This would look cool as a TMP or TNG Police Cutter!! :)

I like it.

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!
