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]

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.

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.

How many more Versions of the Pearl Dragon will you have?

Cos atm I do think its looks more like a Freighter than anything else

But anyway I was thinking this...

Ideas
Storyline - You start off as a freighter captain trying to earn a living when after (X amount of runs / Lvl X / something else) the Human Alliance Navy offers you a job (of course you have no choice but too accept ) if possible I will try and code it in that you are given a new ship or given enuf money to get the new ship

Then you will go through and complete missions, with a deeper storyline unfolding

Of course once completed I do feel it maybe a good idea to do more people mod campaigns

And of course we will want to do a number of Star Trek campaign

And a petition campaign for Aaron to try and make StarFury multiplayer like Freelancer is

Comments welcome

[Exan]

The story idea sounds good. Btw, Pearl Dragon being a freighter? Maybe so, I didn't originally plan it to be freighter but it does kinda look one. Freighter and passenger ferry it is then.

But this new one, Scorpion is totally a warship. What do you think about it. Is the model worth continuing on giving it a texture and Starfury data?

[DeadZone]

I believe it could do wit a bit more work, but yeah it looks good

Edit: One question, wot program are you using to make the models as well as the portraits?
