Birth of the Federation

Hi Everyone,

here is my latest model, let me know what you think.



thunderchero

very good, just the nacelle front caps need some improvement. They look quite strange right now

for comparison, here's an image I've found that shows a nacelle from side:

I agree Flocke,

I did some adjusting and I think it looks much better. I could recess brown area but would require about 50-100 more polygons. And model is running high already (1588 poly uncombined)




I may have to reconfigure the shuttle bay too it is not wanting to separate

that is one sweet little model are u going for a ship pack with all included texture sharing project? If so it would be a worthy cause

god damn -- i'm gonna have to wipe the keyboard ! excellent model.

it´s really good quality !!!! i like it, each new release it better than the previous releases, althoug i still like the CS-4 textures, the letters in the hull, everything.

Live long and prosper

Well I have attempted converting about 50 times now and got a good one now but still 348kb hob file (mid-high poly model) I may try a few more time to see if I can get it a little lower (250-300kb) but here iit is in game.

A truly gorgeous model by our Dr.

It looks great. I've seen a lot of really good models of you and other ppl in the years but this one... man it's outstanding!

I could write more an more positive adjectives but they wouldn't fit.

p.s.: Just outta curiosity: may I ask you how much hours you've spent to get this model in it's final fine stage and shape?

This model was a little different for me. It was my first attempt at using a background when it was shaped. So it gave it a more precise shape to the model. Plus I cheated a little the textures were in part from "Paramount" multi-view I found (top, bottom, side, front and back). But here is a break down on time spent on this model

3 hours scaling backgrounds and setup
6 hours general shaping
10 hours adding all the little details (recessed windows, shuttle bay ect)
4 hours getting round upper hull smoother (I learned a few things here)
10 hours mapping and editing textures (by Paramount)
3- 5 hours for minor adjustments
so far 4 hours spent on conversion to hob

She's beautiful, 'chero. You've done very well.

Amazing, when i return to modding ill have to redo all the ships in it lol

Truley, a great triumph for BOTF!

i think all the words were said to qualify this top of the art model, i think that even match with the Armada games ships and much more, this is really a breakthrough in ships improvement. And it`s really exciting because, with each new Thunderchero´s release, i think i have a lot more to learn, so to achive what we have in this post.

Live long and prosper


EDIT: now i like more the Intrepid

Hi everyone,

I know some of you would like to see this one ingame so I created a temporary link. This file has the delta flyer, SC-4, SC-4 armor and intreped models. I will do official release when the armored interped is ready.

Note only slight texture editing was done from image above file size could not be reduced any more with good results.

Opps I forgot to add Hirogen Hunter and am thinking about Krenim time ship and kazon raider

thunderchero

Krenim warship would be better since the timeship is actually a timeship but hey its your choice

Kazon is a must have tho
