You know modding and especially texturing takes a lot of time.
And time is something i dont have much of at the moment.
But i still want to finish this lady.
And to show you, that there is a progress, I have this little update. Hope you like it!

Wow, it looks great! It's the best Vor'cha model I've ever seen, and now that it has its first textures, its quality really starts to show.

 

[thunderfoot]

I am so looking forward to downloading and using this!

 

[FahreS]

I need some help!

on top of the right wing there is something written in Klingon. I couldnt find any image where one can see the letters good enough to draw them. Even a klingon font didnt help me, because I cant find the right letters.

Does anyone has a good picture of these letters? maybe someone has a plastic model of this ship and can take a photo?

Or do you atleast know whats written there?

Thanks!

 

[Hellkite]

Here you go and by the way its the ship name

 

[Starfox1701]

How about these. Tried some blow up an inhancement.

 

[FahreS]

Here you go and by the way its the ship name

Thanks, but that image doenst help a lot, because you can hardly see the letters.
And btw. what ship name? afaik there are 5 letters: first: L and third: G
so what name is it?

How about these. Tried some blow up an inhancement.

the second one helps, but i cant find all the letters in my Klingon font. i use "klingonTNG". Can you help me to find the correct letters or a better font?

 

[Starfox1701]

These are my fonts but I dont know if the letters are in there. You know its posible that the art department cam up with the leters and never checked the Klingon alphabet to make sure they were there

 

[USS_Excalibur]

I can type up in a klingon font. Just say what you want my to type and what colour and I'll bring it up.

Thank you, I already had them
I hope that the text makes sense, but i do also not know if the fonts are canon...


So is here really nobody with a plastic model of a Vor'cha?!

lol thank you, but I want it canon.

 

[USS_Excalibur]

lol thank you, but I want it canon.

Yes I understand, Just that I haven't seen any real consistency in the field of wording on ships.

Some non-canon ideas claim that the markings vary from the house that owns the ship. Often times having the Name of the house on the hull, or the name of the fleet they serve under. However I'd simply think that if you are going to stick to canon, it'd be best to avoid the text thing. Since I have seen at least 5 variations of the text on both model and CG versions throughout the series.

Thank you, but i will add a marking, like I add registries to federation ships.
Can you tell me where you saw these different markings? maybe that would help me to find a good view on it.

Ohh too bad...
Although "good will" sounds good

Most of the variations were partial views however. I'll have to cycle back through the DS9 episodes to remember.

Thanks, but i thought that its not the registry whats written on the wing.
It also seems quite long, but good idea

thank you, but I believe that you dont have to do it anymore

ive compared several photos and it looks like there is always the same text, so this is either written on a very famous ship or on every vor'cha


Ive used two different Klingon fonts and scaled every single letter and hope that ive a pretty canon text now. Only the word doesnt make any sense xD
What do you think? (2nd picture is another reference)

 

[Amateur]

Looks close enough to me, I never even noticed writing there before

Question, are those plates on the wings modelled? If not then that's some mighty fine texture work!

 

[Adm_Z]

looks like a very nice bumpmapped texture to me.

 

[Hellkite]

Its not

I have a copy of Star Trek The Next Generation Writers Bible and it clearly states that its a name and as such is cannon

 

[Starfox1701]

Looks good from here.

 

[Majestic]

looks like a very nice bumpmapped texture to me.

One can make textures to look as if it's bump mapped without a bump map. I do this a little, like with my latest project and it's textured on warp grills.

 

[Adm_Z]

Yeah, thats what I ment....I think. Unless we aren't talking about the same thing. FO uses bumpmapps, but for my mod, I bumpmapped textures. I tried to make it look like they were bumpmapped, without using bumpmapps. I think we are talking about the same thing, but I'm not sure.
