Re: Want Opinions

Very nice! Again excellent work Atrocities. I hope you continue.

Re: Want Opinions

Really impressing. I especialy like the metallic effect and colors of the gray ones.
Perhaps this effect should be more present in the green ships, it's up to you to decide...

Re: Want Opinions

shiny.............
ooooooooooooooooh shinies

Re: Want Opinions

I love them Atrocities! The new Klingon ships are great, although they look simmilar to the starworlf http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It's amazing how a completely different texture can make them an entirely new shipset! Great Work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Want Opinions

They are simular to the Starwolf, but they are completely differant ships. Look closely and compare them. They have simular features, but they are very differant from one another.

Re: Want Opinions

Very nice, but there is a small problem with the Federation ships. You can see the 'flat' sides of the saucers too easily. You need many more angles to smooth them closer to true circles/parabolas.

Re: Want Opinions

Thanks Baron. I agree, but DOGA is a very limited program. I was lucky to get the Galaxy to look as good as it does on the top down image. I got the slopped neck and other detail in there, but that damned saucer section is just to much for the program to handle. I will however endevor to improve them. They are prototypes that I made in about an hour one night a while back.

I made the new Klingon ships in about 30 minutes yestarday. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Want Opinions

Thanks for the idea there, but the problem I ran into with that option was the texture look like crap. In one instant it repeated itself a bunch of times and was very very ugly.

I set out to make a complete custome one of a kind star trek ship set universe that I could control the images for. IE if I wanted to include them on a disk and sell them I could. Not that I would ever do such a thing. (Well I might if part of the proceeds were donated to PBW.)

After Kwok annonced Last year that he was shelving the STNG mod I picked up my old mod and finished it call it the AST mod. I wanted the AST mod to have 100% custom images so that no one could shut down my web site for using "there images."

Oh ironically some dumb *** tried to claim my breen images as his and sent me an email telling to stop using them. It was all nice and formal and all, but when I replied I asked him if he had the 3d meshes as I knew he did not, and he never replied. That was a long time ago, and I have had no problems since moving the site to Spaceports. Thank you Fyron.

The Federation set is by far the most challenging set to do. IE those GD saucers. If I were smart I would invest the time to learn Moray and Povray. But I am to lazy or to simple mind. Which I have not figured out yet. More than likely easily over come by simple complexe problems.

Re: Want Opinions

Atrocities, Oh well. It was just an idea.
