Hey guys,

I'm creating this topic to inform you all that the Churchill-Class Heavy Cruiser has been released. It is available for download at my site, (you have to register, mwahahaha).

Feel free to poke around, too. The forums are open to any who are registered, and leave comments on the download page if you'd like :-).

It won't just be one file for very long. Don't like it? don't download it.
I'd rather not have my stuff on battleclinic for now.

I like the ship..but why does every place need to register? Enough is enough, I don't want a username and password for every frigggen site. I got enough of them. If you want to send it to me I'll put it in BC for you. It will take about a half hr, I did anarions original, I believe. But I'm not going through the trouble of yet another login.

Then don't get it.
There's been enough "Gimme Gimme" attitude to last me a lifetime. If folk want my model, then can take 5 minutes to register to my site. It's not my job or desire to appeal to the masses or to you specifically. I'm just releasing stuff in a SLIGHTLY controlled matter.
I don't mind if you convert it to BC, so long as credit is given, but again, I'm not going to take the time out of my day to send you stuff when (A) its available at my site, and (B) you are too lazy, its no loss to me.

Anyways,
Lexington-class heavy cruiser is now available for download as well.

Eh, registering at a bunch of sites isn't too big a hassle, especially if I let Firefox remember the passwords.

One little question, why did you paint over the phaser turrets?

The phaser turrets were little 8-sided spheres that I neglected to add to the model.

That's okay! Keeps the poly count under control. Great looking ships, mate!

I've done this in the past, where I've edited the texture and added 2 grey dots inside the squares to appear as phaser balls even if they are not on the model...but ofcourse it'd be up to faos if he wants textures modified. If I were to do it, I'd be eyeballing it.

Sense of Humor Alert: Hmm... no phasers on these Federation ships.... I like that! Easy targets! LOL

Minor issues: The Churchill class needs the name "Roosevelt" on the aft rim in front of the hangar doors, an aft navigational marker (the small red circle under the hangar like on the Concord/Lexington for uniformity purposes) and an aft phaser bank there too, IMHO.

May I have a copy of your retexture work for my private use?

Excellent job FoAS! Thank you for sharing these ships. Absolutely worth the time joining your site. I can't wait for the Ulysses DN now or that Betelguesan ship...

Excellent work!

And I don't mind one bit registering...it only means that I care enough to be treated like a valued participant.

FoaS, would it be too much to ask for blank textures so some of us could do custom registries?  Just asking.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

The easiest thing would be to copy the phasers from WZ's original textures.

actualy given my lack of skills it would be harder for me to transfer phasers from someone elses work than it would be for me to place grey dots using the brush tool...

BTW, nice work on that lex, I have, I think, an unfinished gafy one I was going to send to one of the BC guys who can match gafy textures (the early original style) fairly easily, obviously I can throw that one away now lol.

I think I might be able to accommodate.

I'm also thinkin' I'll add the phaser bulbs after all. They are only 8 or 16 (depending on how I do them) polies. No sweat. Keep an eye here and on the site, i'll notify of the fixed download.

The Lexington is a retexture of WZ's, and the original just had painted phaser turrets, so all you'd have to do is open both in Windows Paint, select the dots, and copy&paste them to the new textures.  If you want to make the placing easy, you could spend a few minutes erasing everything except the dots, select all and copy, then paste it onto the new textures with the transparency option on.  There's nothing to it.  In fact, this method is about the only way I can modify textures, since I am utterly lacking in artistic skill.
