I know you didn't. I was more replying to GAFY's post, but I didn't want you to feel underappreciated by me, either :-P

...in the last stages of my work I moved over to WZs' ships. There is much less work involved using his versions.


Nice to be appreciated...


Oh trust me you are, WZ.

The amount of time I have to spend to retexture your models, is only spent on the textures and how to make them look. I don't have to worry about streching issues, weird bumps in the models mapping not lining up across textures if I want to put a line there. The only time I think there was any remapping issues on a model was on a kitbashed ship not an orginal work of yours. Still not sure if the part that needed the reworking was one of yours.

The X-ship where a CA, a DN, and a BB. I never did the destroyer where I fixed the mapping errors on the saucer someone else applied my textures to it. The texture set was a aqua one when i was in one of those phases, used that same modified saucer on the two miranda kitbashes I did and released on Mackies site.

I also did another retexture of the DD, CA and DN on the unmodified versions that can be found in this Thread. In this case all the streched areas and mismatched areas are hidden by texturing tricks, on one of the older ones I did I fixed the errors but nolonger have the software to fix those things or the will to learn GMax. I don't think these ever made to release either, few ppl have them but that is as far as they got.

Well, those are WZ's textures - not mine. It looks like the shuttlebay is 2 decks tall.

Still WZ's textures - All I did was make the merlin a bit more inline with the stock FCX (the neck and what not).

Probably the least favorite engine designs he has done for me. You might want to try different ones to see if they look better on her.

The next question goes so where are you going to go with the textures for them?

What I would do with the engines is just isolate them and thicken them up.  Leave length and height the same, just widen them.  I did it when I needed the engines, and it worked wonders in my appearance.

I haven't worked on a model in a bit, but here's something I've been cooking up


I wish there was a way to get rid of that dithering, but I don't know how.

Here's another

I'm trying to get a feel for how big a resolution you need in comparison to how much screen-space that the nebula takes up.. I hope to make something sort of like the entry to the Garden of Kadesh (for anyone who has played homeworld)

how frustrating it is to see you make an Excelsior bridge... yet you cannot release the excelsior model.

:(

Where did the TOS efforts end?

I'm trying to persuade LC to let me release the excels, but I haven't heard from him yet.
The TOS stuff? I made the new connie, but never made refined bashes of anything else. I'll get to it.
