Nice!
Had to show my dad, he's a huge Arthur C Clarke fan.

The first update. Im not sure if i want to model in the doors the mesh is already at 2100 poly.
Anyone have any thoughts on the Station5 it is just under 4500 poly but does it look too "blocky" for SFC ?

No, it's fine.

Keep in mind, if we don't have something in game (like Station 5), then getting something in game I think should be the priority. And also, 4500 polies for the station, plus whatever for the ships at it. Looks fine to me.

Looks great!

It'd be nice to see the pods and the Leoniv, if you are feeling ambitious. Plus possibly the moon hoppers...

I did plan on makeing most of the 2001/2010 works , Discovery , StationV , Pan american shuttle and the pod from discovery for the first release. The second would be moon base, moon hopper/ vehicles and that moon lander pod ship thingy. Leoniv was for final model pack if I ever got that far but its been planed. I hope I can find 1/2 way decent pics for the Leoniv and the moon lander ship so far thats the only two i dont have any ref immages for. I am thinking about makeing a "space shuttle Discovery" and rebuilding my old Iss model and releaseing it with the Leoniv to final the 2010 model pack but I dont know yet if I want to waist my time on 2 extra models .

The station design/idea is NOT already in sfc format? I swear Artra,Ghost or someone along those lines made one long ago.

Small Lil update the pod , I think it can be done under 1k ?poly this is what ive made so far $:-\$ anything less it would just be a box with arms.

Could be, what I was saying that (on the above italics) if we didn't already have one, we need one. And even if we already have one, how common is it now? Case in point, I worked on Hollis J Woods TOS Defiant way back when I started.. but chances are it's (the original) no longer around because admittedly it wasn't very good. (My textures, his model was great). But something that was better (some of my stuff in the Gen@War mod packs) and a lot better at that may still not be so common because of the factor of time. And if people can't use it because the site isn't around or publicized anymore, then basically we have little to nothing.

So yes, we need your stuff. Moar stuph!

I am asking for some help with the texture map? my paint shop pro 8 can do polar corrd at best and this is what i get. I need someone with photoshop to circle up a map so its not all distorted like this?
also is the Extra modeling worth the new over 5k poly count?

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #10 on:** February 15, 2011, 11:44:52 pm »

Ooooh polar coordinates don't they suck?

There is a secret to using it, though:
Suppose your final texture is going to be 1024x1024.
Make a new image that is at LEAST twice as big. Make your pattern on that and polar distort that. Then take the inner 1024x1024. It will probably be much better than what you are getting there.

Another alternative is to go entirely vector, which is something I REALLY suggest learning how to do.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2011, 11:51:55 pm »

oh, another thing you can try.

again, let's assume that your texture is to be 1024x1024

Make a new image at 2048x6144 (huge, i know). Fill your pattern. Scale it to 2048x2048 using Bicubic Sharper (if you use 1 pixel wide lines, you might run into problems with Bicubic Sharper). Run a gaussian blur at 0.1 or 0.2, run Polar Coordinates, run the gaussian blur again, and take the inner 1024x1024.

Ok i tryed 6 or 7 times on the resize it then crop but my psp crashes when i click on crop after the resize efforts. I dont see any bionic whats itsts in paint shop pro 8, I see the other though on scale fix on resize, thanks FoaS i will remember this trick

,whats vector ?

I think i finish with something like this untill i get an upgrade or figure out its not a vista issue

I got some more maping to do but its less than a day for a release.

Why? Man, you're talented and you're doing some better stuff than some right now.

If you're frustrated with textures, then just release stuff as you are and let people know that they're welcome to play with rextexturing. I'm playing a bit with your station right now as a matter of fact, just looking for some good shots of what the base skin looks like.

Again man.. drop me a line here and I'll be happy to try and help you out with some ideas on texturing.. As a matter of fact, I'd still like pointers from you on doing meshing.

Woah, what happened man?

GotAFarmYet? · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2011, 07:08:42 pm »

Curious about that one myself?

What happened?
If you don't want to place it in a public forum, willing to talk with you by PM or other medium.

Kreeargh · « **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2011, 10:04:20 pm »

This is a Legal issue.

Under investigation my lawyer asks me to say nothing more at this point.

Sorry to here that, truly I am, if what you are doing is not for profit think you will be ok

And Yes if it under investagation you can not say anything as it will be used against you, trust me on that one. Also depending on the settlement yo9u may not be able to talk about it ever
