[Request] Assistance needed for never-before-done meshes

[Nathanius]

Ahh! I see, no argument there! It wasn't just the movement possibilities of the engine that made me want to make a Star Trek game out of it

 

[Majestic]

If I had more time I would had already made the official Kumari Andorian design. But I had to unofficially can the ENT mod I was working on due to time commitments. It's a shame as the ENT era is one of my favourite era's, the other obviously being the TMP.

I'd swear that I had a D'Kyr in one of my personal A2 installs - are you sure there isn't one out there?

That's probably the one I released here on MSFC back in the day of my early modeling, the model isn't strictly mine but in fact one of Major Payne's if I remember right.

 

[Nathanius]

@Majestic We have a pretty good Kumari actually, I couldn't see a D'kyr on this site though? All I could find was this pack with the Sh'Ran and the triple ring future Vulcan ship

http://www.msfc.com.au/community/index.php?resources/vulcan-ship-pack.4/

We do have a good D'Kyr from ShareCG. I was able to shrink it down to about 40k polys, will use LODs for 2000m and 5000m from the ship. Wasn't able to find a better low poly version of that mesh actually, but it will be good for making a MVAM auxiliary ship later

Yeah that is the pack, I think I originally released it before there was a D'kyr. I can't remember, it was so long ago.

 

[Nathanius]

I have my deadline now! Gearbox has said that they're releasing the Homeworld Remastered collection on the 25/02/15! Even if there's only @Hellkite and @kjc733 helping with one Klingon fighter mesh and @dvatreknerd314 and @Jetfreak helping by doing those Romulan textures I would still like to thank everyone for their kind words anyway.

 

[CABAL]

That is awfully pretty.

 

[Hellkite]

That it is

And so is this
​

Warfang Klingon Fighter

Design by Hellkite
Mesh and hardpointing by kjc733
Textures and pic by Jetfreak​

 

[Nathanius]

Holy mother of {insert favourite deity here}! That's so awesome

Can I pretty please use the Warfang Klingon Fighter in the TOS era?

 

[kjc733]

Mesh and hardpointing by kjc733​

Jumped the gun slightly, I just finished the hardpointing. I will do a quick test tomorrow, put together some buttons and release the lot in the immediate future.

As for Vulcan ships, I was right, there is a small pack with a Surrok and D'Kyr over on A2 filefront, according to the readme the D'Kyr was converted from SFC by Fahres.

 

[Hellkite]

Nope I just have faith in you kjc733

You mean this one?


It's a little basic to even go in as a placeholder I thought, I still have my 60k poly D'kyr though. That should do fine with some LODs at 1km and 3km

This is all so exciting! I can't wait to get into making the new ST:C release trailer!

You need not ask..

LOL It was built so that it was to be for your use
All we ask just site work accreditation

 

[Majestic]

Beautiful work guys I might use that design in Yesteryears myself, with a re-texture to match my own texturing of course. It's a great design and KJC and Jetfreak really have brought it to 3D extremely well. Kudos to all involved.

 

[Nathanius]

Speaking of beautiful work, here is the combined modelling and texturing prowess of three people!
Thank you @Jetfreak for your contribution

 

[kjc733]

I've just posted the Warfang in the files section so it should be available soon.
I did somehow use the wrong icon for it when I uploaded... it should be a Klingon fighter and not an Intrepid Flight 2

 

[Hellkite]

just upload it again with the right Icon should fix it Kjc

 

[Nathanius]

That's wonderful!

Thank you! I can't wait to get it in-game and put an image up here for you guys

 

[Nathanius]

Here's the Warfang in-game! I added team colours to it, they're nice and subtle so as to not overpower the texturing



There's no time left to do any of the other missing ships before the mod needs to be packaged up and sent out, but is anyone interested in doing them at all? They're still needed

 

[Majestic]

Great image there @Nathanius I assume that is in Homeworld 2?

just upload it again with the right Icon should fix it Kjc

Or any member of staff can upload a new icon, just use one of the images provided which is what I just did.

 

[Nathanius]

Thank you @Majestic, it is indeed Homeworld 2! As in Old Homeworld 2, not to be confused with Homeworld 2 - Classic or Homeworld 2 - Remastered which both come out on Steam on the 25th

I hope the mod works fine with Homeworld 2 - Classic though, as we'll be spending a fair while porting to the glory that is Homeworld 2 - Remastered

If you prioritise the list then I will look into it. No promises though, I have a list as long as my arm and I certainly won't make promises on anyone elses behalf.

Thanks Maj, I did take a quick look but couldn't see a way of doing it even by uploading a new version. Perhaps I'm just going blind in my age.

Thank you @kjc733

I would guess that the updated and prioritised version of this list is as follows:

ENT ERA
1. Klingon fighter

2. Klingon K'toch bomber

3. Vulcan fighter

4. Vulcan Vah'Klas class ship

5. Andorian destroyer (based on Valakian ship apparently)

6. Tellarite Warship (based on Arkonian Warship below)

7. Vulcan Sh'Ran class ship - we have a placeholder for this, but it's poor quality

8. Vulcan D'kyr class ship (with MVAM auxiliary craft) - the high poly mesh we reduced down for this has holes in it now and can only be considered placeholder quality :/

9. Romulan fighter (similar to this Matt Jeffries design, but more tubular to match the Warbird)

 

[Majestic]

The Tellerite Warsship didn't have the side cannons, it had bussard collectors or something instead. Also the Xindi Aborial ship used the same design as the picture provided above.

Not being a member of staff I am not surprised you couldn't kind the edit resource icon option.

It did not show it to me eider

You're absoloutely correct, but according to Ex Astris it's based on the Arkonian Warship, as that Xindi ship was, that's what I've got pictured there as there wasn't a good image of the Tellarite ship itself

There's enough images of the ships or the ships they're based on at Ex Astris to serve as source material, only the pointy Klingon fighter needs a bit of imagination to fill in the blanks

PM sent.

Yeah there aren't many good images of it, it's basically the same ship with some minor changes including hull colour. It's a shame they never came up with a more original design for the Tellarites.

Here's the release trailer

[Zelph]

Looks fantastic!

 

[CABAL]

I think that's the first time I've seen the NX refit in a mod.

 

[Nathanius]

Looks fantastic!

Thank you! Some stars of this trailer were made possible by help from this site

I think that's the first time I've seen the NX refit in a mod.

The refit is a subsystem that you can build, it's up to the player to refit each ship
