collecting 512 textures

[Flocke]

Relax! It should take Flocke a VERY long time to create the rusty ILM style studio models for all Ferengi ships in your mods and send them to you as new reference for the BotF CGI models. Until then the canon CGI reference remains orange/red without windows.

I'm a programmer. I will rather implement an error check!

Hi Everyone,

looks like I am slipping, I have searched and searched and can not find the flt's for the D'Kora and Goront.

now granted I created them 11 years ago. I will have to create new ones, good thing is texture will work on old hob and new flt.

I think I also lost the Ferengi starbase I created but it was only used in MPR++

Sad to hear so! Maybe you packed them together and moved it to some weird place you forgot about.
Best upload and share your files so they are not lost again!

never did find those files,

but I did figure out where voltron got a few of his models (Fleet Operations)

so as I feared, I am already going back and making changes for better textures.

left is current texture, center is best texture I was able to get from current, right is original I just collected.

I have already found a few others I will need to swap out.

Looks phantastic! Big thanks to Fleet Operations!
Guess you need to check on original creators then.
And we need some honour list for all the models I guess.

If I was to create new model from FO files yes, but I expect jiggy, siggi, voltron already have been granted permission. But most models are too high of poly to be converted for BOTF without new lower poly mesh. when I looked at a few models, they were 3000 - 10,000+ poly. Even voltron mentioned they were too high ploy to convert.

Plus the last time I asked permission from other creators I got mixed replies like;
"use what ever you want, no credited needed"
"I forgot I created that 20 years ago, don't worry about it"
"credit is nice, but not required"
"why did you contact me? do what ever you want with them"

I also got many e-mails "unable to deliver" accounts deactivated messages

this is what almost all our model creators have posted here;

One of the armada modders (NerfGunCharlie) on discord has been showing off his models, but when I asked he told me that model was 50k+ poly
but look really good
