Sorry guys, I found a problem with my TOS fed releases. Turns out that I have a few polies on the nacelles mismapped. They are fixed, but I'm in the process of getting the fixes up for redistribution. Standby for patches to be made.

Kearsarge is all texture-baked


I really like this new technique ;)

I like this one.  You're tempting me to post a TOS ship I just finished.

Okay, I love the Chandley Class... TMP version. After the Churchill, this is my favorite Federation TMP era ship.

I like what has been done with this TOS version with the open wing areas being closed off.

Now for the 64,000.00 question: Where are you putting the deflector on it? 

I have seen a TMP version with the deflector under the main saucer where the navigational dome is usually found. However since the USS Phobos has two smaller deflectors, I was wondering how a similar arrangement would look on the Chandley TMP or even the TOS one.

Like this:


This is actually a retexture of Major Racal's TOS Chandley, so I'm constrained to his original design.

I am not going to make the TMP version of it. Reason being that I have enough TMP ships, and not enough TOS ships. Furthermore, there is enough "Refit" versions of ships floating around, Saladin -> Siva, Consitution -> Enterprise, Surya -> Miranda, you get the idea.

I like what you've done to her already and I'd have absolutely no objections to you altering her further.  Personally, I'm not a big fan of a double deflector, but I loathe the dish on a stick so much more.  I'm not sure, but I don't think the model would break if you removed the deflector hull entirely and replaced it with something else.

As for the TMP Chandley's hollow wings, the various drawings FASA came up with are rather ambiguous.  Whilst some look hollow, some don't, and the metal miniature they came up with was definitely solid.  I always figured the big shoulders were intended to house the large marine complements they were commissioned to carry, along with all their equipment and a host of training, medical and other support facilities.

Amen MajorRacal.

I do recall the miniature having solid wings for the marine barracks. As a multi-role platform the hollow wings could be converted into hangar spaces for a strike carrier, again IMHO.

The TMP Chandley needs an update IMHO to at least fit in with the revised FASA Loknar aka USS Phobos.

See, I actually like the little deflector hull, for me it stays (had to remodel it though, had some errors on it that were bothering me :/ ).

The real reason why i did the surya was so that I could do a quick bash, coming up.

Thanks, FW

Surya is texture baked:
I have off tomorrow, so aside from picking up my paycheck and heading to the bank, i have a free day. This means its conversion day :-)

I like those feds but they look more like late TOS/pre TMP ships from the detail you added to the Hull textures. What i don't like is that they have a orange-red warpgrille, i like them blueish.
Can you please tell me how you made those cool bussard textures??  :angel:

That's because they Are TOS. The Orange grille is something that I wanted to do ever since GAFY made his blue trim textures (which I have done as well) the reason why is to counter balance the overwhelming blues. I know they aren't too popular, but this is how I do it ;). (well, they are popular enough, since the saladin has been downloaded 800 times so far).

The bussards are a gradient with a few layers of what are called Fractal Flames layered on top (All set for Linear Dodge or Additive, they are the same thing mathematically speaking) in white, orange, and red/pink.

I've been getting a lot of questions regarding how I go about doing this texture bake stuff. I will be posted a video I am about to make of how and why I go about it. If you have 3ds Max you can even follow along. It doesn't require any special plugins or anything. (3ds Max v5 I think is the earliest you can use, but I use max9,

So, here's the tutorial on how and why I do texture baking: Link
Thank Major Racal for motivating me to actually produce the video.

Today is my day off, so that means aside from the errands, today you will see a bunch of releases, hopefully.
