W000000t! The USS dinosaurJR rides again!!

great job mate!!

 

[Jetfreak]

Your idea, so it's certainly under your jurisdiction ISS. Besides, I already have my hands full with Majest's texture jobs.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Just got a new pic concept. It might replace the original compliation shot I had intended. Made a rough sketch of what I wanted in Paint, attached below. What d'you guys think? Maybe the site's new logo or something?

 

[Amateur]

Me like

Love the Inceptor- just became my new iPod wallpaper; dynamic angle and a beautiful ship is a win for me

 

[Majestic]

Looking good ISS, nice idea. Also I will set up the gallery sometime this week for you and you can start posting the screenshots in there as well. In fact you can use the Gallery as a image host, though I think attachments are better personally.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Just got through converting FO's asteroids. Test shot with the Enterprise-D posted below.

Spoiler

Everybody please note that I'm going to be posting test shots for status updates and whatnot. Nothing you see here will be the final product, until I have said that the shots in a post are the real deal.

I've also hit a rather nastry bump in the road for me. Because I've been playing BC a lot more lately, I've become obsessed with the beauty of DJ Curtis' Galaxy. I now desperately want my P81 model retextured so it uses DJ's textures. Tried some converting last night, and truth be told it wasn't that terrible, but it really isn't how I want it. I know that DJ denies permission to release converted works of his, and I feel that the textures do fall under that category. However, I simply can't get it out of my mind, and I feel it may become a bit of a problem in the future. Just a heads up in case things suddenly go south for me...

As long as you don't release anything publicly you're covered. You can use them in Armada 2 without permission problems, just don't release them on any web-sites.

Alright then, don't need to worry about the guilt creeping up on me. Only problem now is the converting. Asking someone to do them for me and send them to me; I interpret that as a sort of release, despite it being sort of private.

*sigh* Gotta do it the hard way again...this may take a long time.... >.<

 

[Jetfreak]

Wait a minute, I recall Dan1025 doing a retexture of p81's model using DJ's wonderful textures. Have you tried asking him for a copy?


Sadly, I lost mine during my pc crash of 08'

A release is something publicly available, so if you got someone else to do it then sent to you, it is not considered a release. But if you made it for download anywhere on the web, or transferable in a mod or on a cd or whatever that is considered a release.

Asking someone to help with something you can't do isn't a release but a request for help.

Heh, thanks for clearing that up, Maj. Now the guilt for something I didn't do is leaving me

I did ask Dan for a copy a long time ago, when I first got into modding. He said that he would've liked to, but it would've violated the permission system. That's where I got the idea of private sharing still counts as releasing.

And as a tiny nitpick, at one point the ship did have the registry of the Enterprise-D, but he altered them so that they'd be registryless. I'd like the ones with the registry, since as I've stated numerous times, she is my favorite ship

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Made a better rough draft with Storm3D earlier today, attached below

 

[Lord_Trekie]

They look beautiful guys! Very cool so far.

 

[Nalthren]

Wow thats awesome. Thanks again for Including the Phoenix

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Made some standard beauty shots for all the ships. I plan to incorporate either these or improved ones into the logo.

Like the shot of the Midway

[Majestic]

You're missing the Inceptor, the image is the Tempest in the spoiler.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Ouch, didn't notice that. Sorry about that Amateur, shot of the Inceptor posted below

Spoiler: Inceptor

Agh, sorry about that forgot to put those in as well, will do so ASAP

 

[Amateur]

Easy mistake to make, and the pic more than makes up for it. Don't worry about it

Just proves it takes two Nova's to equal one Excelsior

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Have to agree with you there. Nova's are nice ships, but sometimes, there's just no beating the classics

Hellkite, just added the Gryphon fighter to my game, picture of the Midway and a fighter wing posted below

Spoiler: Midway and Fighter Wing

 

[Hellkite]

Looking good She was a little naked with out them

 

[Majestic]

I suggest darkening the fighters textures to match the Hull of the Midway as they are a little bright when compared to the mothership.

Looking good mate.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Just got through darkening the textures some. Much improved over how bright they were

Spoiler: Midway and Fighters

Also did a nice shot with the Borg Queen. FO converted stations FTW

Anybody think there's too much green?

Spoiler: Borg Queen

 

[thunderfoot]

Liking the darkened textures for Midway and the fighters. Always did think the textures in most mods are bright enough to hide details. Good job!

 

[Jetfreak]

lol, she's practically at home with that nexus and nebula.

Although while I like the Gryphon shot, why did you capture the running lights? It's a little distracting. Just a minor gripe though.

Frak. Jusy noticed that myself. Have to agree, don't really like having those on smaller ships, they're too oversized. Gonna need to take care with those in the future

What I normally do is make the sods bigger, so the running lights are smaller. It's what I have been doing in Yesteryears, scaling all the models against each other so smaller ships have small running lights and they are the same size as the large ships. Also means that I can have the same scalesod command throughout the mod makes it very easy for scaling.

 

[Hellkite]

I don't know why but when I first saw this I stated humming "It begin to look a lot like Christmas" think it is the running lights

Spoiler: Midway and Fighters

but over all your going a grate job

 

[Adm_Z]

yeah, I would remove most, if not all the running lights. At least make them a lot smaller.

 

[SciFiFan]

Didn't Fahres light pack come with some mini lights you could use?
