Isn't the Miranda model kinda small? I mean the beam when you fire is as wide as the whole ship. I try to mod Whitestar and Omega Class Cruiser from B5 but Lithunwrap just doesn't understand so complex models so I have to use 3DSMax which I can't use so well now.

By the way. Is someone of you good making textures?

I made a ship but it needs texture and I'm not good making one. The model isn't that good either.

EDIT: Fixed broken link.

That's not a bad ship.

I can texture it for you, if you can post a .3ds or .x file for the model.

I'd like to join in and contribute my own meager skills in texturing and modeling, and other artwork. The Poeples' Mod is a great idea! I've temporily halted work on my own SF mod due to the sheer complexity of undertaking the effort. I can at least help out in making this mod. Examples of some of the stuff I have already done and can donate is located here:

(Scroll down for the Starfury stuff).

Ok. I'll post the model to internet as soon as possible. I also created Vulture ship but it's engine is ugly so I'm going to make a second Version of it. I can do the models at some point but I'm poor at making textures. Oh, and I would be honored if Pearl Dragon would be used in People's Mod. I have all data files ready for it too. The hardpoints aren't right though. The engine glows are below the ship for some reason. Same thing about the phaser fire. Anyway, all other images have to be done. I'll put the image into net later today.

Anyway, thanks Wydraz.

I can also make planet portraits. Something like in here

Just little photoshop after that and I can add buildings to the landscapes. Like I said, I'd like to help.

EDIT: Error in the link again.

So here's the 3ds model for Pearl Dragon. It has also the layot data with it.

Pearl Dragon

Well if you do the models and say Wydraz does the textures, and then have it exported into .x format, we are laughing on the ship side.


Might use some of them pics, nvr know wot the usefulness could be

As for the hardpoints, I take it then you have already tried this in StarFury?

[DeadZone]

Great!!! Im happy to have you on board dude


Also Exan, if Wydraz textures your model, any chance of using it in the peoples mod?

Also (2), in a few weeks once I have got a few things together and this has progressed abit Im thinking about starting a Star Trek mod seeing as the other two have stopped

Then we will have too differents mod on the go, on top of the BSG mod and the P&N mod

[DeadZone]

Exan, Ive altered your model slightly so it looks better in SF, your one makes it appear too high above the X, all I did, but it has altered the models UV map, anyway heres the file wit the modified model and new UV map so you can take a look and give me a yay or nay

The images in my Terragen gallery are just examples. I can create different landscapes as well. And also some movies. Here's one for example.
Plains of Despair

It's in DivX format and not so good. Anyway, movies take a huge amount of time to render. First you have to render every single frame and then unite the images into movie and then compress it. That example had over 600 frames and it took 2 hours to render though now I have two computers and I can put them both work the animation.

And how did you change the model? I didn't saw any difference. Anyway, it looks...golden. I'm hoping more white-gray color scale.

The ship is supposed to be a light cruiser and meant for reconnoissance and black ops missions if it helps in texturing.

[Exan]

Now that I'm over-excited about Starfury again I made a new model and a crappy web page for it. Later I will turn the page into a shipyard page.

Anyway, here's the latest model.

DS-2 Scorpion

It's almost a straight copy from the B5 Excalibur but I made this one from the scracth. I think it's pretty good though like all my models this one needs texturing. I should really study texturing.
