the Kronos one isn't a ordinary K'Tinga

But god I wish she were - Grey, green, grey, green - Star trek visuals can be so boring sometimes >.< - why do you think I'm such a fan of what's going on in this thread :)

Look at the studio model be color blind its the same ship as the others is it not ?? I dont see any changes other than colors. But i am probaly wrong here .  ::)

I cannot make sense of this - please say again?

What I meant was that I wish they used the Qonos One colors for the standard K'T'Inga. I'm tired of seeing Star Trek in nothing but greens and greys (well, greys and pale blues for the feds).

Sorry for the continued delay gentlemen, my 'puter has aquired a nasty little bug.  >:( I'm in the process of backing up data and re-installing OS. My SFC folder was backed up on the first sign of trouble.  :)

Take your time :) I can't tell you the number of formats I've had to do. Just so long as the good stuff is intact, we can wait :)

FINALLY!!! The Ktinga is available at BC, not perfect perhaps but good enough.

WOW! Now that is what I'm talking about! The detail work is more amazing than the pics here show.

We need equally cool adversary ships and you delivered!

MORE please ;)

Qapla!

I like the complex lighting on the inboard sides of the nacelles. That is going to look great against a dark space background.

Thanks very much for the praise and encouragement gentlemen! The only real regret I have with this one is the green bits on the aft of the nacelles, if I painted them red . . . it also turned up on the bottom of the nacelles. Still, a pin-straight stripe doesn't distract so much so I'm sure I can live with it.

I'm continuing to tinker with the D9 as it's very nearly complete as well. I'm beginning to work on a destroyer and a small freighter.

Here's the state of the D9. The bottom is going to be a little sparse because many of the regions of the underside texture are repeated in more than one location. Understandable since one sees precious little of that area of the ships in game. I'm still struggling with the light maps somewhat as well, but not far off.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like that needs a remapping..

I agree, this project, the D2 and the Romulan cruiser that I was playing with could likely all benefit from re-mapping. I have, however, thus far only been able to paint a few pretty pictures. This one's particularly interesting because the light maps existed before I started. I intend to look at the Material editor in G-Max and see if there are any differences in the settings between the ones that show and those that don't.

Otherwise, the underside is stuck about as shown. There is a little overlap on the edgs of the wings, but it's not too obvious.

Well, after examining the model in Gmax' Material Navigator, it appears that only certain textures had illumination maps. I've been trying to figure out a way to add a couple to the model but to no avail. I haven't been able to find a tutorial, (other than a dead link to one).  :(

I'm fairly certain that the material editor in GMax is more-or-less the same in 3ds Max - you should be able to fine tutorial on that and weasel your way around.
